For years I have enjoyed sesame noodles and would often pick up a container at Whole Foods, my local grocery or any deli – they all seem to carry their own version of this very flavorful noodle. Why I’ve never made it myself I can’t tell you. I decided to make my own because the … Continue reading
There are a few Korean ingredients that I am particularly fond of and one of them is gochujang. I love this spicy, hot, deep red paste that adds so much flavor and color to any recipe. Once you try gochujang there is no turning back – it will become a favorite of yours too!
This is called the “angry sauce” because of the chile pepper flakes added to the sauce. Very similar to a marinara sauce but with some heat. Not a pasta dish I would serve just anyone as you need to love a “kick”. Nice change from a traditional red sauce.
Thanksgiving will be very different this year as I plan for a stay-at-home dinner without family. First of all instead of a huge whole turkey I will be cooking a turkey breast (my favorite part). So, I won’t be making my fancy gravy when I roasted chicken wings and veggies to get a beautiful chicken … Continue reading

I love my “shrimps” and I often come up with new ways to serve them. These crepes paired beautifully with a limoncello butter sauce that I previously used with a fresh salmon fillet. The filling in the crepes has some of this delicious liqueur as well. Limoncello is so versatile that I’ve added it to … Continue reading
I wrote a few notes on this recipe from my old file such as “excellent” “very good gravy” “Gene likes”. I thought it came from one of the (8) Weber Grill Cookbooks I own but I couldn’t find it. This is just the kind of recipe they would make, or so I thought. Anyways, my … Continue reading
Salmon is a favorite seafood and I like to eat it all kinds of different ways. From grilling on a cedar plank, poaching, pan frying, salmon cakes, serving with different sauces – the recipes are all good. I mentioned in a previous post that Limoncello would go great with fish or seafood. After some thought … Continue reading
Does this recipe say summer, or what! This is a favorite Italian pasta dish loved by many and Marcella Hazan said no single dish is more delicious in the entire Italian pasta repertory. I certainly can see why and you will too if you make it. This recipe uses a method of preparing pasta with … Continue reading
