Healthy can be yummy! Lyn served these at a party as an appetizer. She was gracious enough to share her recipe and it has been a great addition to several menus. I love the color, the crunch, and the simplicity. Green beans a finger food? Why not. Using a wire wisk, mix the 4 ingredients well. 1/2 cup… Continue reading Marinated Green Beans

Javanese Salmon
This recipe comes from an old restaurant called Saucebox in Portland, Oregon. I got it when my friend Iva-Marie had the chutzpah to ask for it at the restaurant. Then somebody wrote into Bon Appetit asking for the recipe, and it was very popular on Epicurious for years. And it's my favorite way to serve… Continue reading Javanese Salmon

But don't hold this against it.… Continue reading Butternut Squash Lasagna

Gorgonzola, Pear & Almond Pizza
This pizza is so unique, you won't believe it. It is for serious pizza lovers and foodies only. If you have a pizza party, serve it last, since it has that sweet/salty/crunchy texture that would be a perfect finish. Just make sure you leave room; it's definitely rich! The toppings are for a 12" pizza;… Continue reading Gorgonzola, Pear & Almond Pizza
