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…

The result of a hybrid of languages. Chilli, is from the ancient Nahautl language for the chili, and Con Carne is Spanish for…
Ikea didn’t just bring us flat box furniture, they brought us Swedish meatballs. OK, they didn’t invent Swedish meatballs, just made them popular through their stores. Don’t know if you’ve tried them, they’re pretty good. Well, I’m going to be honest here, there are really only two similarities between Swedish meatballs and my garlic turkey…
Growing up in England, I loved fish and chips, I’d go to the local “Chippy” and get fried, battered cod and chips (French fries), wrapped up in newspaper, loaded with salt and vinegar. 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…
