Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

This heart-healthy, flavor-packed meal takes advantage of the cook-once-eat-twice method and can be customized to taste!         When considering foods that taste good as leftovers, lasagna, chili and the Thanksgiving turkey likely come to mind. Fish, not so much. Once cooked, however, leftover seafood can be safely stored in the refrigerator for…

Dinner (and leftovers) out of one 3-ingredient marinade

Minimal ingredients come together with flavor-packed ease in this wholesome, all-in-one meal that can be customized to taste. Effortless summer cooking at its best!    So, I did what I have been strictly avoiding for a very long time. I cooked on live TV.   The thought of preparing something delicious in two to three…

Teriyaki Sockeye Salmon

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!     As far as Iโ€™m concerned, coffee should be piping hot or iced cold. Thereโ€™s no middle ground for my dad either. Throughout the hot days of summer, he never thinks…

Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream (easy 5-ingredient recipe that’s dairy-free and naturally sweetened)

Luxuriously sweet and creamy, it’s hard to believe this ice cream is dairy-free and naturally sweetened โ€“ and incredibly easy to make.    After years of developing mostly healthy recipes, people logically assume that I am one of those really virtuous eaters. And I truly enjoy lots of wholesome foods. Truth is though, I also…

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…

Almond Coconut Strawberry Shortcakes (Gluten- & Grain-Free)

Gluten- & Grain-Free Almond Coconut Strawberry Shortcakes are healthy enough to eat for dinner but delicious enough to be dessert!   Delving into my momโ€™s strawberry shortcake was a much-anticipated welcome to the local strawberry season when I was a child. Mom always made her biscuit-like shortcake in a 9×13 pan and served big, warm squares…

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

Four simple ingredients come together with ease in this vibrant sauce that adds sweet and tangy flavor to yogurt, oatmeal, vanilla ice cream, pound cake, and more. Or enjoy it by the spoonful–just like applesauce. Freezes well too.    For many years, my maternal great-grandmother taught in a one-room Amish schoolhouse. That meant teaching all…

Shrimp Creole

Shrimp Creole is a company-worthy dinner that, with a spoonful of rice and perhaps a crusty roll, is all you need. You can even prepare it the day before and simply add the shrimp just before serving.   Last week, I mentioned my tendency to file away recipes for the next season, holiday, or some…

Easy Egg & Guacamole Breakfast Pizza

Two nutritional powerhouses join forces for a filling, savory breakfast that satisfies just as well when served as a super simple dinner!   Chances are good that if you make guacamole for a crowd, the serving bowl will be scraped clean. But if you make it for your family, you may have some leftover. This…

Classic Guacamole

The best guacamole keeps it simple: ripe avocados plus a short list of flavorful add-ins in just the right amounts. Perfect as a dip, in tacos, on sandwiches, burrito bowls, and more.   I tend to tuck recipes away and wait for what I hope will be just the right occasion for my readers. This…
