Yay! My favorite summer berries, Tayberries, are here! Central Market had them when I went for my big weekly shopping trip this morning. :-) This first flat we'll probably just end up eating right out of the box, but I'll go get some more for ...

This is a healthier take on fried zucchini. It was pretty decent, but not really worth the effort it took to do all the breading. Next time I might try larger spears rather than the rounds. We had these with some thin grilled t-bone steaks and some ...

My in-laws are still in town and they picked up some thin sliced eye of round steaks the other day at the store for dinner this week. Round steak is a tougher cut, so I decided to do a slow braise to tenderize the meat and add a lot ...

Dinner tonight was a fillet of gorgeous Copper River Sockeye Salmon, seasoned simply with kosher salt and grilled on a cedar plank. It was amazing. We'll definitely be repeating this over the coming weeks while the salmon are running! I served this with some beautiful Kusshi oysters ...
