Super Simple Trout
I really enjoy fish in the winter but it can be so expensive that it is overwhelming. Cheap fish is generally also bad fish. Think tilapia. It’s gross. However, there are a few inexpensive fish including skate, cod and trout! Since trout is a mild fish it is best done simply with lemon and parsley [...]

Roasted Tomato Soup
Lately it has been soup weather. When I am frozen to the bone all I want is a big bowl of tomato soup. The thing is, I really don’t like canned soup. Campbell’s tomato smoothie in a can just doesn’t do it for me. Sadly, prime tomato season is early august to late september. We [...]

Almost a Veggie Overload
Manon returns for her second post! Her story includes the vegetable treasures her mother brought from France, as well as the plethora of recipes they tried out. Stuffed Eggplant recipe after the jump. Last week my mom went on a four-day long trip to the south of France and bought a car full of fresh [...]

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful – Caprese
The title of this post is in part reference to one of the most hyped up prizes for America’s Next Top Model (and this catchy rap from a 1998 Tyra Banks commercial), but I’m actually starting off the summer by writing about one of the easiest, lightest summer recipes I know. Caprese. What is [...]
