Wonton Soup {with Shrimp & Kale}
I’ve been warming up my Chinese cooking skills (skills is a strong word, I broke out some recipes) this week and decided to try my hand at Wonton Soup.

Cheesy Garlic & Herb Pull-Apart Bread {with Maryland Crab Dip}
It’s Super Bowl Sunday and I had resigned myself to the idea that I wasn’t going to put on a big spread, even though this is the 2nd biggest eating holiday of the year, after Thanksgiving. Nope, wasn’t going to do it. Although, somehow a roast chicken dinner just didn’t scream Football the way I was starting to feel Football. So as any good coach would do….let’s drop back and punt. We have no stake in the outcome of this game so really it’s got to be about the food (and the commercials). Paying tribute to both teams for making it to the Big Game…we are having Sourdough (in honor of the San…

Tuna Cakes {with Summer Breeze Citrus Salad}
I’m writing this post while Summer Breeze by Seals & Croft is playing in the background (from a youtube link on the page of a friend) :) Maybe I’m longing for summer a lot earlier than usual or perhaps it’s that Mother Nature is teasing us. Freezing rain yesterday, 50’s today. It’s Saturday, the sun is shining, I’m having Tuna Cakes with Citrus Salad for lunch, and these words are speaking to me: See the smile a-waitin’ in the kitchen food cookin’ and the plates for two Feel the arms that reach out to hold me in the evening when the day is through. Summer breeze makes me feel fine blowing through the jasmine…

Salmon BLT Salad {with Avocado Aioli}
I realize that a Salmon BLT Salad with Avocado Aioli is not much of a recipe. And possibly not worthy of a post. However, it was really good. And the fact that it was very basic, down to packaged croutons…made it about the best thing we had eaten in at least 3 days.

Crispy Orange Beef & Broccoli
When I made the decision to dedicate Winter Thyme to Spice Exploration I began by playing with my spices….literally. I transformed them into a Winter Thyme ‘Wind.’ Touching each one, taking in their individual aromas, admiring their earth tone colors, and seeing how beautiful they looked together. As I stated in my Winter Thyme post, my goal for this season is to explore spices and share what I learn through new recipes. Where they’ve taken me thus far is on an International journey. So while my intention is to become familiar with spices, I’m kind of digging the new recipes and flavors along the way. That’s my not so smooth segue…

Red Currant Chili Glazed Salmon {with Israeli Couscous with Spinach}
Look at these for just a moment. They are red currants and tonight they are recipe inspiration. When we were growing up, one of mom’s signature party appetizers was Cocktail Franks in Red Currant Chili Sauce. We loved them. I hadn’t thought about them in quite some time until I spotted these little beauties at the market. There was no way I was leaving without them. And so we shall have Red Currant Chili Glazed Salmon over Israeli Couscous with Spinach.

Slow-Roasted Salmon with Tarragon and Citrus
Hints of citrus and sweet tarragon & fennel infuse flavor into this Slow-Roasted Salmon dish. This luxurious recipe from Food & Wine is wonderful for the holidays. To begin, a seasoning mixture is made from melted butter, thinly sliced garlic & shallots, ground fennel seeds, fresh tarragon & lemony thyme, lemon & orange zest, and coarsely ground pepper.

Salmon Marbella {Over Toasted Israeli Couscous}
I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with my new friend and fellow food lover Sandi-A New York Foodie. She’s invited me to do a guest post on her blog, which will be a first for me. I’ve chosen Salmon Marbella, because in a round about way, this dish brought us together. Lemony Thyme was actually the inspiration for this dish….which feels kind of cool. Coming off a full week of Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry we treated ourselves to a nice big piece of salmon. We tossed ideas back and forth on how we would prepare it but made no progress. I called up our love food photography……

Horseradish & Herb Encrusted Grouper
Horseradish & Herb Encrusted Grouper is a simple and delicious way to elevate the flavors of this mild fish. Grouper is a lovely firm white fish, which makes it sturdy enough for grilling, wonderful broiled for a Grouper Sandwich, or served our favorite way…baked with a horseradish & herb bread crumb topping.

Crab Rangoon {with Sweet and Sour Sauce}
Back in the days of apartment living when Chinese food takeout seemed to be a weekly occurrence….we’d always say yes to “do you want to add an order of Crab Rangoon with that?” They’re so good and as we later discovered, remarkably easy to make.
