	Zesty Salsa for Canning by Krista Goben Makes about 6 (16 oz) pints or 12 (8 oz) half pints (I double this recipe to make 7 quarts, it usually makes a little more so I have about 5 pint jars ready in case!) **note: When I make quarts, I boil for 30 minutes.	4 votes 1 review 4 comments 26820 views
	Flavorful Grilled Shrimp by John Spottiswood This is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes. You can serve this over pasta (which we did the other night), as an appetizer with a variety of dipping…	8 votes 3 reviews 1 comment 9181 views

	Sauvignon Blanc Clams & Mussels Pot by Blackswan Few weeks back, I'd joined more than 100 Singapore Bloggers to #CookForFamily! This Clams & Mussels Pot was one of the dishes I'd made. That day, the Californian Sauvignon Blanc from Woodbridge was going at 50% off, & I got it for only S$20! Be warned! The soupy dish is highly addictive!	1 vote 2620 views

	Turkey Lasagna with Spinach and Mushrooms by Salad Foodie Red, green and white, the perfect Italian flag colors, make this lasagna as pretty as it is delicious. It’s a pleaser at potlucks, or makes a generous amount for the family, with leftovers. A nice dish to prepare the night before, and pop in oven next day.	1 vote 2557 views
	Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox This Italian classic is simply steak topped with a quick cooking, zesty, pizza-like sauce. Sometimes it’s topped with cheese. I’m using very lean top sirloin but if you’d prefer to use flank steak or skirt steak, just reduce the cooking time a bit. Doesn’t matter how you cook your filet, the sauce absolutely makes this dish. The…	1 vote 1 comment 4332 views
	CEVICHE! ~ Costa Rican Style by Amos Miller My buddy, Ed, of Puerto Rican descent, spent his time in the Air Force in Central and South America. Ed's favorite dish: ceviche! He tells endless tales of trying ceviche, which is seafoods 'cooked' in nothing but citrus juice. Ed always said that the ceviche he would eat by the gallon, if he could get it, was that he had in Costa…	7 votes 4 reviews 8 comments 113597 views
	Low Calorie, Quick and Delish, Coq au Vin by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox This is a wonderful low calorie and low fat version of the French classic. It’s so easy and straightforward. I’ve served it many times and everyone loves it. My version uses white wine instead of red wine, which creates a lighter tasting sauce and is cooked on the stove top instead of the oven. The skinny on one serving is 234…	1 vote 3 comments 3730 views
	Hearty Red Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood This is a wonderfully flavored soup that our whole family really enjoyed. I'm a huge fan of traditional Turkish Red Lentil soup which has more exotic flavors, but I was impressed by the down home goodness of this soup. I had three medium sized helpings, and even then I nibbled a bit more as I was putting the remainder into the…	9 votes 4 reviews 9 comments 11942 views
	Scallops in Scallion Nests by John Spottiswood This is an attractive, flavorful dish, ideal as the first course for an elegant dinner. The scallions, which are cooked briefly in boiling water and served with a mustard sauce, are fantastic. I adapted this recipe from Jacques Pepin. While I loved the presentation, and everyone at our dinner party seemed to enjoy it, I wasn't…	4 votes 1 review 11 comments 5603 views
	Chicken Chasseur by John Spottiswood This is a healthy version of chicken in the famous chasseur sauce containing onions and leeks, and flavored with white wine, tomatoes, and mushrooms. It's fancy and delicious enough to serve to dinner guests (we served it with three foodie couples and it was a hit!) and easy enough for a dinner at home. Try serving with garlic…	7 votes 3 reviews 8 comments 4450 views
	Rice and Crab salad fast and easy! by Helenscooking This salad recipe is good with crab meat and shrimps (or you can use both), corn adds sweetness to the salad, rice works as the base of this salad. You can cook it without rice if you wish, but I prefer it with rice, and herbs (dill and parsley, or just dill) are important. This recipe appeared in my cookbook, when we lived in…	1 vote 2040 views
	Smoked Maple Marinated Salmon by Curt Despres I always wanted to try smoking salmon, rather than always putting it on the grill. I even tried grilling it in banana leaves to try something different. So I decided to try a new marinade using mainly maple syrup that I’ve been toying with.	1 vote 1807 views
