Green Curry Mussel & Sausage Stew by Bob Vincent

This is an easy dish to prepare. It could be served over pasta as well by thickening the sauce with a cornstarch slurry a bit. I used frozen New Zealand green lip mussels. If you can find good fresh mussels by all means use them as they would be better. I used a green curry paste. My wife does not like things too hot so I opted…

Spicy Asian Grilled Pork Chops by John Spottiswood

This is an old favorite that I've made since my days living in Chicago. We lived near the main Korean part of town (near Lawrence I think) and frequently ate Bulgogi. One day I bought some boneless pork chops and tried to create my own marinade. This one is close. I do it somewhat by taste, and you can play with the quantities a…

Coconut lime shrimp by Chef Jeff

This recipe is based on something I saw on allrecipes.com and influenced by the way Alton Brown makes cocktail shrimp. I've tweaked both to make this tasty shrimp recipe and not sure I'll ever be able to eat shrimp again without judging them against this recipe. Make sure you get the shrimp with the shells on or it will dry out…

Teriyaki Steak by B Innes

Teriyaki steak is not a throw together meal. it does take a little forethought and time to prepare, but the results are usually spectacular. A well thought out marinade, done not too long, a properly cooked steak, and a delicious glaze all combine to transform an ordinary steak into a truly great meal. It works particularly well…

Sour Dough Pizza Dough - (With Sausage, Onion and Mushroom) by Foodiewife

I've recently conquered my fear of failure in making sour dough breads. I bought a sour dough starter from King Arthur Flour (online)and was pretty faithful in "feeding" it, and storing it in my fridge in a special crockpot. Two years went by, and I still hadn't mustered the courage to make sour dough. One of the steps in feeding sour…

Spaghetti with Baby Clams & Linguica by Bob Vincent

This is a tasty pasta dish. It is quick to make and will serve four nicely. I would have used linguine instead of spaghetti but didn't have any on hand. Chorizo or bacon could be substituted for the linguica. I served the pasta with a green salad. For a wine I chose a Rombauer 2012 Carneros Chardonnay. It worked well with the…

Zucchini Boats stuffed w/ Sausage and Cous-Cous by Denise Sherin

Zucchini Boats are great! You can stuff them any way you like. We have stuffed them so many different ways but this one is a favorite... with this recipe we have also added chopped kalamata olives, diced hot ham, sun-dried tomatoes and feta. It depends what we have in at the time. Add in any combination of your favorites! I…

Baked ziti with pork ragu by Chris Patil

This is a giant, lusty dish that plays on our basest desires. It has become my go-to entree for large parties of carnivores, especially when cooking time is limited and I expect to serve family-style. I once made this for a New Year's Eve party; people who hadn't been there were showing up the next day to see whether there were…

Grilled Catfish with Red Rice and Lemon Butter by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a truly delicious meal. Our kids loved it as much as we did. We made a version of the fish with Lemon pepper because we thought the Creole seasonings would be too hot, but they ended up loving the Creole fish. If you're trying to conserve calories, you can leave off the Lemon Butter and just serve with fresh lemon wedges.…
