This is the perfect dish to serve when you're craving steak and have a nice bottle of red wine that you want to open. It's also a tasty dish to serve if you're having company. Or maybe even for New Year's Eve! I happen to have a little herb garden on my patio with just the right herbs which made this a nice dish to make. Of course if you live in the great white North it's hard to have an herb garden in December. Here in N. California it's easy peasy. I don't even have to water the pots thanks to mother nature.

Here's an easy dinner that you can make anytime. All you need to pick up is some fresh salmon. Or try the frozen salmon from Trader Joe's. The rest of the ingredients are pantry staples you should have on hand. This recipe is easy, yummy and foolproof. You have to try it. And if you shop at Trader Joe's you're in luck. Because the recipe is right on the wrapper. And the best part? It's quick. Dinner in less than 30 minutes. Don first discovered the recipe. And he usually makes it - which is so nice. I made it the other day and I'm happy to report it tasted just like when Don makes it. You know that's a good recipe when two people make the same recipe and it tastes the same.  Now I'm not sure if kids will like it - or young kids anyway. Elli eats it. But she's a little more adventurous than the average nine year old. You know your kids. You'll have to be the judge. I wanted to jazz up some brown rice so I made up a recipe (below.) It would...

Everyone has their Christmas morning traditions. One of our long standing traditions is enjoying a hot cheesy breakfast casserole after all the presents have been opened and the kids are hyped up on Christmas candy at 9am. We have two recipes. One with chiles and one without. We vary it depending on our mood - and who is there. The casserole is perfect because you assemble it the night before and just have to pop it in the oven in the morning.  It's also great to serve when you have company in town. Add a fruit salad and you have breakfast for a crowd. It would also be perfect for New Year's Day when you're not quite ready to jump in the kitchen and need to feed people. Know what I mean? Spicy Breakfast Casserole 4-6 slices wheat bread buttered, no crusts 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated 1 lb mild sausage, cooked 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, drained 2 t. diced jalapeno 9 large eggs (or 7 xl eggs) 1 c. milk 1 t. sal...

Still have company? Here's a great new chicken dish that will impress them. Of course it's so yummy it may make them want to stay longer. Which could be a good thing - or a bad thing. Depends on your company! Ha. This is not a complicated recipe. But it's definitely not one that I would casually whip together on a week night on a whim. (Unless you are super mom.) Mainly because I wouldn't have these items on hand unless I planned it. So save it for when you have an hour and can drink a glass of Sauvignon Blanc while you're cooking it. Not that you can't do that on a week night - - but you know what I mean! Thai Stuff Chicken Breast and Slaw 1 cup jasmine rice, cooked 1/4 cup shredded coconut 3 green onions, finely sliced 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped 4 T sweet Thai chile sauce 3 limes 4 large, boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 cup all purpose flour 1 t. kosher ...
