Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
This heart-healthy, flavor-packed meal takes advantage of the cook-once-eat-twice method and can be customized to taste!

The simplest of ingredients come together with ease in this wholesome, quick-cooking, family friendly meal. How does an email request for a few new recipes jump to a story about living in a remote shack in Alaska and making trips to the outhouse, shotgun in hand, to fend off bears? Two words: wild salmon.…
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
I conducted a family taste test with both versions of this recipe and our favorite store-bought brand, and we were surprised by how much we preferred the fresher taste of the homemade options. I like to prepare the sauce in advance to have on hand for easy dinners of baked or grilled chicken, pork, or…
Cold Brew Coffee
This easy process creates a base that can be diluted with water or milk for your favorite cold coffee drinks. Economical and cafe-worthy!

Roll these clever pretzels into letters and spell out names for special occasions or twist them into the traditional shape. Either way, they’re a fun project and a crowd-pleasing snack!

Prosciutto Fig Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella, Arugula & Manchego
Like many of you, I frequently use the “a little of this, a little of that” approach to cooking.

So I encourage people to use certain…

Greeked-Out Gorgonzola Dressing
Blue Cheese Dressing was the first salad dressing I ever tried at a restaurant, at a long-shuttered establishment called The Rose Bowl. ย It became a favorite and still is. ย Nowadays, I often pass it by because–tasty though it is, it’s so laden with fat. ย Happily, the following recipe is an option that is every bit…

Southwestern Confetti Coleslaw (no mayo)
Classic, creamy coleslaw is a perennial picnic and cookout favorite. Like potato salad and baked beans, coleslaw plays a popular supporting role on any plate starring fried chicken or barbecued ribs. While I adore a thick slaw with a hearty dose of mayonnaise, many people prefer a lighter vinegar base. Smoky cumin, tangy lime and…
