If you need something quick, light and satisfying in warmer weather, grilled mahi-mahi with my green gazpacho sauce is the way to go. Spicy chilies and cumin are balanced with cool green veggies in a Gazpacho sauce in this quick to the table main course.

For me, there are some days I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and others when I’ll more than happily spend half a day in there working on a single meal or dish that results in a mountain of dishes. What I love about Risotto is that it’s truly a labor or love. While it requires a bit of babying, the payoff in flavor is worth it, and this Wild Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan and Scallops is no different.

I recently downloaded a new iPhone app called Lose It, to track my daily calorie intake. And what I’ve noticed, is that while the meals I make are reasonably nutritionally balanced, I’m killing myself with snacking later because I don’t always feel full when we’re done. So, to combat that, Vita and I are making some really hearty meals, including these awesome stuffed peppers.

They’re easy to make, albeit a tad time consuming. Since you’re getting a whole bell pepper, you’re getting a lot of veggies, and the ground chicken with …

Last night, I wanted to try a new side dish for our Teriyaki Salmon. So, I really started using my noggin to figure out something to do with what I had a lot of in the fridge. I settled on Broccoli. And while I really wanted to roast these florets, I settled for the sauté process for two reasons: time and control of the tenderness.
This is a really simple side, but the combination of garlic, crushed red pepper and just the hint of olive oil is really wonderful. You’ll have …

For some time now, Vita has had to watch me mixing Chorizo in with my eggs. I go on and on about how delicious it is, giggling that she can’t eat it because of the beef or pork content. She’s never wanted to try Soy-Rizo, but thankfully, I came across some Turkey and Chicken Chorizo that was pre-cooked.
