This is an easy and tasty meal that uses up leftover steamed rice. Next time I'm going to add a little fresh garlic just before adding the rice to the wok. This was very good but could use just a little more flavor to push it to excellent.
Chicken ...

Another re-jiggering of my fra diavolo iterations. This one uses some tasty local salmon, from SeaBear. I chose the sockeye, as it has a more robust flavor to stand up in the spicy sauce. Even then it melded more with the sauce than the other versions I've ...

Every so often we get a rotisserie chicken from Costco or our local grocery store and make several meals out of it. Today, we had sandwiches on ciabatta bread (I put some avocado on mine), and I had a quesadilla made with some excellent chipotle cheddar cheese. There's ...

This is a tasty Italian dish inspired by my mom's spaghetti sauce. Feel free to use your own marinara if you have some on hand. I'm just out and need to make another batch to freeze! The Barilla sauce is really pretty decent, though, and works well ...

This is a take on a Chinese-American dish that appears on most any Chinese restaurant menu. My version is heavy on veggies and light on the sauce, making it quite a healthy dinner that's very tasty to boot. If you can't find Chinese black vinegar, balsamic makes an ...

Pays d’Auge is a region of France near Normandy famous for its apples and Calvados apple brandy. This baked chicken dish of mine is inspired by that region. This recipe has been percolating in my head for awhile, and tonight I gave it a go. It was another ...

As promised, we're going another round with stuffed pork. This time I got a pork loin roast and butterflied it. We did go with an Italian set of flavors, which I think worked out very well. Shaun and I thought it was company quality! I'm quite ...
