Kevin's Mom's Potato Salad

This a really tasty traditional American-style potato salad. Great for BBQs, picnics, and potlucks. Double or triple the recipe if you need more...

Grilled Zucchini

It has been awhile since I have written in, mostly because I have been fairly uninspired about anything that I have made lately.  However, after a dinner party last night, I came across (and heartily enjoyed) a simple recipe that I felt could be shared.  Grilled Zucchini.  I realize that it is possibly nothing new to you (new to me, yes), however this time it had a bit of a twist to it.

The Fruits of a Smoker

I recently became the beneficiary of a fine charcoal smoker and decided that my first attempt should be a smoked salmon. I was a little worried that I would turn this beautiful fish into uneatable shoe leather, but I was game for a culinary adventure.

Spicy Pasta Salad with Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes and Basil

Looking for a quick, easy, delicious side for potlucks or BBQ's...this is the definitive choice!

Pan-Roasted Halibut with Prosciutto, Lemon, White Wine & Capers

I'm hungry, I'm tired, I need something quick! It's Monday and luckily I pulled a 'mystery meat' package from the freezer yesterday to thaw. I knew it to be fish because that's whats in the freezer...what type, however, is the question. I know...I know...label it girlfriend!

Pan-Roasted Halibut with Prosciutto, Lemon, White Wine & Capers

The dish was adapted from Tyler Florence' recipe out of necessity for the lack of ingredients on hand. Out of lemons? Use bottled lemon juice (no kitchen should be without). No prosciutto? Leave it out or use regular bacon. I also used Blood-Orange Olive Oil instead of 'EVOO'. It turned out marvelous! Light and flaky fish with a zippy, lemony caper sauce...yumm!

Enjoy,
