Salmon Stuffed Avocados with Finger Limes
Before citrus goes out of season, I wanted to highlight one more citrus recipe. This one uses the little known finger lime (also called caviar limes). Have you heard of them? They are a really fun fruit to work with. When you cut them open and squeeze them, out comes these tiny little pearls that look like caviar. The little pearls contain lime …

So, I'm turning to food (as I often do) for some color therapy. This citrus salad with honey vinaigrette adds some much needed brightness to the winter table. And how can you not look at those bursts of …

Lemongrass Beef and Noodle Soup
I'm back with more soup! My youngest daughter and I are kindred spirits in this way. We could eat soup for every meal every day and be pretty happy. It must be the Vietnamese heritage.
So when the weather got cold again, I automatically went into soup making mode and arrived at this lemongrass beef and noodle soup. It's adapted from another …

Winter Vegetable Grain Bowls
I'll be the first to admit that, as a family, we don't eat as many vegetables as I would like. They are usually an afterthought in my meal planning. So I'm always happy when I discover a new way to make vegetables the focus of a meal that is more than just a salad. If my kids eat it without complaint then it's pure gold. That's why I'm loving these …

I know there are already a million cinnamon roll recipes available on the internet and you might be wondering why I would choose to publish this particular one from someone named Edith. Who is Edith?

Post-Thanksgiving Cranberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars
I don't know about you but after hosting a house full of family for the Thanksgiving weekend, I ended up with a very random collection of food items in my fridge. Of course, there were the dishes you would expect like turkey and mash potatoes. But I also ended up with 3 pounds of cream cheese and a helluva lot of butter among other things. There …
