Simple Pan-fried Fish with Indian Spices by John Spottiswood

This is a simple dish I throw together with fresh white fish fillets (typically Swai, Tilapia, Catfish, or Orange Roughy). It's easy to make and our whole family loves it. I know it seems crazy to give this four and a half stars, but it's a really great combination of flavors. Try this with rice and a vegetable side dish or salad,…

We made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious! This has everything I love about Indian food.

Pan Grilled Tofu with Miso Glaze by John Spottiswood

This is an outstanding and pretty appetizer to serve before any asian meal. Our kids, who are somewhat indifferent to tofu, gobbled these up. They are slightly sweet and salty, with enough additional flavor to be interesting. I made these along with a tried and true teriyaki chicken recipe, which I grilled to perfection, and I…

Asian Crusted Salmon by Nancy Miyasaki

I'm always looking for interesting new ways to cook salmon that my kids will love. This crusted, blackened salmon was a great addition to my recipe box.

Stuffed Omelette B.L.D (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) by I Just Love My Apron

I was thinking back to what my favorite mommy-homemade food was the other day. This dish came up. I have missed my mom's homemade food lately. It's not only the food that I missed but also the good company and atmosphere that I missed. My mom used fresh baby corn instead of whole corn. I couldn't seem to find that corn here so I used…

The skinny for each…
