Fabulous Turkey Meatloaf by Nancy Miyasaki

I don't make meatloaf often, but had the urge so I looked for the best Turkey Meatloaf recipe I could find. I adapted the one below from the Barefoot Contessa. It turned out wonderfully! It's a lot of meatloaf, and even though we all loved it, we could not finish it as leftovers. When I do this next time, I'm planning to make…

Molten Chocolate Cake with Fresh Raspberries by Nancy Miyasaki

These individual molten chocolate cakes are simple and elegant, and they bake in under 10 minutes. You can use a standard muffin pan or individual ceramic dishes. The cake batter is sturdy and you can make it up to six hours before you plan to serve the cakes. Fill the pans with batter and refrigerate, then remove the pan in advance…

Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole by Nancy Miyasaki

Seasoned chicken, corn tortillas, and black beans layered with a tangy enchilada sauce. Our kids love this simple recipe. We serve it with refried pinto beans and sometimes Spanish rice.

Fish with Spice Rub and Lemony Rice by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an amazingly easy and delicious recipe. The spice rub would be yummy on just about anything I think. I really liked the way the fish cooks by steaming on top of the rice. First, it makes the dish even easier, it saves energy, and it won't heat up your house as much in the summer. More importantly, the fish just melts in…

Pasta with Cauliflower and Anchovy Sauce by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderful, mild flavored pasta we've adapted from Marcella Hazan. I know it sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but you should definitely try it. It's unlike any pasta you have likely eaten before, and it is quite tasty. We will definitely make it again. Serve with the roasted broccoli below for a nice…

Cabbage Stir Fry by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderful dish with light but complex flavors. We typically serve this along with another dish as part of a Chinese style meal.

Chicken and Eggplant Stew by Nancy Miyasaki

This recipe was given to me by my good friend Brian Bedrosian. He raved about it, so we made it last night. It was very tasty. Our kids all ate second helpings and we ended up with nothing left! I altered his ingredients just slightly, and show that in parenthesis below. We served this over a simple bulgur pilaf made with half…

Arroz a la Mexicana - Mexican Rice by Nancy Miyasaki

This is the real deal...not the sorry excuse for Mexican rice you often get on a combo plate these days. The fresh tomato flavor comes through wonderfully! We made this with long grain white rice this time, but next time I'm planning to do a 50/50 mix of long grain white and brown rice. That will make it healthier and I believe it…

Fish with Lime and Crispy Garlic by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a recipe from the Yucatan...one of our favorite places in the world. Not only is it beautiful and full of history, but the food is fantastic. We got this recipe from Mark Bittman's The Best Recipes in the World cookbook. Warning: I doubled the amount of garlic he used and after tasting it, I might quadruple it next time.…
