Janet selected the recipe this week, and her choice was a Lobster Roll. The only thing that says summer to me is excellent seafood, or more specifically, shellfish. Shellfish is my favorite food – shrimp, lobster, mussels, and my famous littleneck clam. I’ll eat it all, no matter what form you prepare it in. This… Continue reading A Healthy Shrimp Roll Recipe

A NY Style Breakfast
This week it was my turn to pick something for my family, and I chose a New York Breakfast. Like the recipe author, I grew up in New York (I may have mentioned that a bazillion times on this blog already), and thus I grew up eating lots of bagels with cream cheese and various… Continue reading A NY Style Breakfast
A Brownie Tribute
The brownies are a tribute to Audrey Hepburn. There is nothing better than them. I love these brownies because they are rich and chocolaty, moist, fudgy, and just a bit gooey. Almost no flour is used, and there is no rising agent, so they are thin and dense. The calories and fat are worth it.… Continue reading A Brownie Tribute
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Recipe
I was looking forward to this week’s recipe pick, and it has been on my radar for quite some time. The recipe Leslie picked was Sweet and Spicy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Who wouldn’t be excited about grilled cheese sandwiches? Sweet caramelized onions and spicy pepper jack cheese are added to a humdrum grilled cheese, as… Continue reading Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Recipe
Swedish Apple Cake Recipe
Let’s talk about this cake. This is the cake I made for my boss and his family. Currently, his wife is undergoing chemotherapy (she is expected to make a full recovery), and we decided to put together a care package of food for them after the latest round. Not only was I happy to do… Continue reading Swedish Apple Cake Recipe
Banana Strawberry Granola Recipe
I have now made my second granola recipe for myself, and I have officially fallen in love with making my granola. I can customize it with ingredients I like, and it is much tastier than what I buy in the store. You also have control over the quantity and quality of what you are using,… Continue reading Banana Strawberry Granola Recipe
A Take on Morning Cookies
Jennifer chose this week’s recipe. To me, a recipe that calls for eating a cookie for breakfast is worth trying. In essence, they are cookie muffins crossed with healthy cookies. They are soft and cakey cookies made from whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, bran cereal, canola oil, pureed carrot baby food, sugar, and a… Continue reading A Take on Morning Cookies
Cherry Almond Chocolate Biscotti
There would be no carrot, green apple, and mint salad here if you came here expecting to find it. Despite this week’s recipe being selected by one of my favorite bloggers, who also happens to live in the same city like me, this salad wasn’t our cup of tea. Thank you! By the way, Jennifer,… Continue reading Cherry Almond Chocolate Biscotti
Fourth of July Star Style Cupcakes Recipe
Well, I couldn’t make a layer cake this weekend, and especially I couldn’t reach far enough to whip up a buttercream with three sticks of butter. There is nothing more tedious than softening an entire pound of butter for cake and frosting when you have no real reason to do so. As much as I… Continue reading Fourth of July Star Style Cupcakes Recipe
A Quick and Easy Rigatoni Dinner Recipe
I’ve made this pasta dinner quite a few times, and it’s easy and quick to prepare yet still tastes great. When I don’t have any marinara in the freezer, this is perfect. I found the recipe in a Bon Appetit magazine. Really, who names their recipes these days? This recipe link is for arugula, not… Continue reading A Quick and Easy Rigatoni Dinner Recipe
