It’s finally hot here in New Hampshire, although who knows how long that will last! I decided to make a light and fresh dinner even though I was craving some cheesy pasta. So I whipped out my vegetable peeler and made some “noodles” out of zucchini. It’s a simple and healthy way to indulge … Continue reading
I wanted to re-create a dish from one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Newport, OR. (It has since moved to Corvallis) The original dish is a sautéed shiitake mushroom and spinach dish and the broth is so delicately delicious. Whenever my family goes to Sada’s we jealously guard the leftover broth from … Continue reading

I really wanted to highlight the fresh earthy flavor of the carrots and the sharp green bite of the greens without … Continue reading
I created this salad for my Aunt who asked me for a warm spinach salad. It was the least that I could do considering all the times she made me hot chocolate pudding at a moment’s notice, colored endlessly with me, and generally just loved me to pieces! I wanted to combine a few ideas … Continue reading
A friend of mine asked me if I could create a stir-fry recipe that was easy and quick to cook and also didn’t have a strong ginger flavor. I decided to play around with some Thai flavors, although I have to say I don’t think this dish is a traditional Thai one. It’s a mixture … Continue reading
