Killer Shrimp by John Spottiswood

Nancy and I loved eating at this hole in the wall restaurant in Marina Del Ray called Killer Shrimp. It was in a strip mall and didn't have much character, but their "killer" shrimp drew a loyal crowd. I recently heard that it had closed, so I've tried to recreate it with help from a few others who have tried. I think what most the…

Green Chicken Chili by Nancy Miyasaki

This isn't your thick beans and meat sort of chili, but it is absolutely delicious. Think a cross between a soup and a traditional chili. It's pretty healthy too with white meat chicken, hominy, and potatoes.

Low Carb Homemade Pasta by Pam Solomon

This recipe was a special request from an anonymous follower. It gave me the perfect opportunity to play with a pasta machine I bought last year, but has been collecting dust in my cupboard. It was a lot of fun. You don't need one for making pasta, but it sure does make it easier. I think I only paid $40 for the one I have. I made…

Pasta Shells in white sauce with sausage, mushrooms and peas! by Manju Nair

I'm a big fan of Italian food and Pasta tops my list! I had this packet of shell pasta and wanted to make something really special. I have never tried making white sauce or bechamel sauce before and so I wanted to something new (as usual) and guess…

Swiss Style Cube Steak by Denise Sherin

When we were kids Mom made this for us all the time. It was a cheap dinner that went a long way served over rice. I had forgotten about it till she came across the recipe and made it again. It brought back lots of memories. I asked where she got the recipe, turns out it was off the back of a minute rice box in the 70's. Now I'm…

Creamy Broccoli, Chicken and Pasta by Salad Foodie

Here’s a variation of an earlier recipe using zucchini and ham I posted (see Useful Links below the recipe), only this time I tried a different meat and veggie, and tweaked the flavors a bit. It’s still low calorie and low fat and a nice casual family dinner. As a saucy one dish meal it’s a comfort food unto its own yet one far less…

Red Beans & Rice with Salsa by Salad Foodie

A one-dish meal or side to meat or fish, red beans and brown rice are perfect partners. The salsa is a bonus to have as a garnish for the beans and rice or as a chip dip alongside. This recipe is from "In the Kitchen with Rosie (Daley): Oprah's Favorite Recipes," and posting it aligns with my resolution to peruse then use more…

"Desert" Low Boil by Unknown Chef

I was hankering for an old fashioned New England Clam Bake or Lobster boil. We are from CT nearing our 13th year in southern NM. So, a lobster boil or clam bake is not a choice except for a very special occasion and we must order the seafood on-line. I searched several on-line sites and found that a "Low Boil" is similar to a New…

Zuppa di pesce bianco by Unknown Chef

One of my family's favorite soups. This soup warms the heart and is light and satisfying. You might remember from my earlier soup recipes that we enjoy eating soup year round. So, there is no "best" time to make this soup for us. The prep work is easy and the soup is ready to go as soon as the potatoes are fork tender and shrimp…
