I’m happy to report that I now have two broccoli recipes in my regular rotation. If you regularly read my blog, you know I always make Broccoli with Garlic and Hot Pepper, a stovetop recipe. The stove can get pretty cramped when there are a lot of big pans working, so I’m glad to have …
This recipe is the one I’ve referred to in many other posts as “my go-to broccoli recipe.” It’s about time I share it. It’s sooo easy to make and always turns out well unless you overcook it and end up with olive green broccoli. It’s happened to this distracted cook! You can adapt the amount …
This broccoli dish is one of my regulars when I make any type of dinner that has an Asian touch. Last night I made a sticky spicy sweet chicken dish, reminiscent of Chinese take-out, and whipped this up in just minutes. If you’re in an experimental mood, you could add some soy sauce to the …
A surprisingly tasty–because I had low expectations–broccoli cheese soup. And it’s healthy too–no cream! ~~~ Broccoli soup isn’t sexy, but it can be delicious. I had a bowl yesterday for lunch with a roasted eggplant, provolone and pesto mayo pita bread sandwich. I was very happy. I found this recipe in the March/April issue of …
Better and healthier than Chinese take-out shrimp, this recipe for shrimp with a spicy orange sauce will have you tossing out the delivery menus. ~~~ Finally, a new recipe, and it’s a good one. Lately when I’ve had dinner duty I’ve been making a lot of old reliables – chicken parmigiana, Chilean chicken and quick …
Omega-3 capsules aren’t enough for me. I need a regular salmon fix to keep me happy. When I managed a McCormick & Schmick’s restaurant I ate salmon at least once a week, probably more if you count the salmon burgers and salmon tartare too. I ate like a queen when I worked there, a healthy …
A few days before I hit the road to move to North Carolina, I invited my brother and some friends into my kitchen to raid my refrigerator and freezer. Everything had to go. Now that I’m here, I’m slowly stocking back up. Since I’ve been here I haven’t made any real Thai or Vietnamese dishes …
Do you have the urge for comforting starchy mashed potatoes but your conscience is telling you to eat more vegetables? You can have the best of both worlds with this dish, satisfying your craving for mooshy starch and healthy green vegetables at the same time. Broccoli is one of those vegetables that goes on sale …
Is broccoli always on sale? It seems to be and since I love making dishes based on what’s on sale, I tend to serve a lot of broccoli. This broccoli and cheese casserole was a good side for pork chops with cranberry-thyme pan sauce, and a good snack the next day. I’m sure I’m not …
