I love tilapia. It’s a versatile, easy to cook fish, and, there’s literally hundreds of ways to prepare it. I have a few here, with tomatoes in the oven, and in the skillet. It just so happens that the same coating I use for the pan fried tilapia works great in the oven. Crispy baked…

I’m a foodie, the kitchen is my playground, flavors and textures are my toys. So I’m always looking for the opportunity to change things up a bit. One evening I had spicy chicken Italian sausage in the fridge, and, wanted to come up with a different way to serve it. Well, why not make meatballs.…
Fish makes for a wonderful meal, it’s healthy, delicious and light. I have been focusing lately on cooking for one, the importance of balancing time in the kitchen (cooking and cleaning) versus everything else you’re doing. But, that brings up a good point. Healthy meals that are easy and quick to prepare, not just for…
There’s something about a plate of pasta covered with thick red sauce. Italians have brought us some great food, and great wine. And pasta with a sauce is iconic. I have a recipe for homemade Italian sauce, it takes a few hours to put together, and it is delicious. But, I’m thinking something a little…
As part of my cooking for one series of posts, I’m looking at different ways to make dinner prep healthy, hearty and easy. Minimal prep equals minimal cleanup. One of the ways to achieve this is with a slow cooker. Prep is minimal, the food cooks while you’re out, and dinner is ready when you…

Specifically malt vinegar. Well, there may be a Chippy on every corner in Romford (my home town), but not here. Looks like…
As I seek to make my diet a little healthier, I’ve come back to an American classic, Turkey. And saying American classic is not by chance, the turkey is native to North America. So we have a food source that is truly American and healthy too, sounds like a win win to me. So read…
Cooking for yourself can be tough sometimes. When you get home at the end of a long day the last thing you want to do is cook. The same applies to a weeknight family dinner, there’s a lot going on in the early evening. So lets add healthy eating to the mix to make it…
Sweet potatoes are delicious. They’re good for you too, they’re higher in fiber, vitamins A, B6 and C than regular potatoes. They also have a lower Glycemic Index. A good friend of mine gave me an indoor grill. And I love to cook them that way, they come out soft and sweet, with the grill…
I went to the store the other day, asparagus was on sale. I love asparagus. It’s healthy, and, if you’ve read some of my other posts, I like to have a healthy balanced diet. One way to do that is to make sure there’s something green on every plate. And, asparagus is green, so that’s…
