Crispy Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

March 6, 2014

I just got back  from our ‘annual’ trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. All inclusive! Yeah, baby and I gained pounds. In my defense, I just felt ‘unfair’ if I didn’t eat and drink constantly. So I did that very well, indeed. I ate, drank and ate, drank…and repeated that again and again. And I finished strong…

Roasted Red Pepper Mango Salsa

October 7, 2013

Potato-Leek pancakes

April 18, 2012

I’m back!!!! Yes, I am still alive and well. We just redid our kitchen cabinet so our kitchen was all torn apart. At some point, I did not even have an access to the refrigerator. Agh, the joy of remodeling. But it’s all done and feels real good to be back. Hope some of you…

Halibut ceviche with grapefruit & jalapeno

October 10, 2011

I grew up in a small fishing town so I love seafood and I like them raw. Ceviche  is seafood “cooked” by the acid of citrus, in this case grapefruit and lime juice. It is a dish of South American origin but I decided to make my own version of it. Perfect appetizer for a warm…
