Annatto RiceAnnatto oil gives this rice dish a nice yellow color. The oil doesn't add much taste but makes for a nice presentation. It can be used instead of butter or oil when cooking long grain rice. I used parboiled. If you use a different type of rice vary the cooking time accordingly. |

Mom's Zucchini CasseroleThis is adapted from a recipe my Mom made for the family years ago. She used summer squash. I used zucchini instead. Any squash will work so use what you grow or have on hand. I added more onions than she used and also included herbs de Provence to add some flavor. Be cautious in adding salt as the soup has plenty in it. If you… |

Mango Chipotle Sauce/GlazeThis is a good sauce/glaze for almost anything. It is easy to make and stores refrigerated well for several days or if air tight much longer. I use it on grilled fish, chicken or pork. It can be used hot as a finishing sauce or cold as a glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Adjust the chipotle peppers to your taste. |

At the end of reducing the sauce I added 2 Tbs of cold unsalted butter… |

Banh Mi Brat SandwichThis recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Cuisine At Home recently. Banh Mi is a Vietnamese term for bread and a popular sandwich served on a French baguette. The original recipe used a hot dog which I changed to a German Bratwurst. I also decreased the amount of ham as the sausage was much larger than a hot dog. I… |
