Shrimp & Dip

When “easy” is the name of the game, good cooks think alike! That’s what I discovered in Cooking With All Things Trader Joe’s by Deana Gunn and Wona Miniati, Brown Bag Publishers, LLC, Copyright © 2008 and available at www.amazon.com. Their Deep Sea Adventure is even easier than my favorite appetizer or light supper. Although a tad more labor intensive, I still prefer to use frozen, raw, jumbo tail-on shrimp because I can stop the cooking process to avoid the “rubbery” texture I’ve found with pre-cooked frozen shrimp. To dip, they recommend prepared Shrimp Cocktail Sauce, Wasabi Mayonnaise, Garlic Aioli Mustard Sauce, Mandarin Orange Chef Sauce and Double Roasted Salsa. I like to make my own sauces. However, when time is of the essence… (More)

Slow-Grilled Squash

In season now, “while weather is still nice for outdoor dining”, Amelia Saltsman advises in The Santa Monica Farmer’s Cookbook (©Blenheim Press 2007; available at www.amazon .com) to grill squash slowly on the barbecue “until the outside is crisp but not burnt and the inside is tender and tinged with smoke and spice.” And that is exactly what happens. She also recommends this method with delicate squash; it works well with acorn too! (More)

Toni's Tostadas

70s pop music icon and longtime vegetarian, Toni Tennille (The Captain & Tennille) created this recipe some thirty years ago. What intrigued me then was her use of lentils (instead of pinto beans) and the Bouquet Garnis technique - whole cloves, whole onion, whole garlic and bay leaf – to infuse flavor without disrupting the lentils’ integrity. I’ve lost the original recipe that may have been published in TV Guide. The toughest part was recalling the additional spices so I cheated with prepared taco seasoning. How close did I get? My taste buds enjoyed the reunion and my testers begged for seconds! (More)

Vegetable Shepherd's Pie

Guilt-free, healthy, comfort food with plenty of good-for-you-ratatouille-style veggies! Janet DeGras won 2ND place in Vegetarian Times' October 2008 Recipe Contest for this dish she calls Unemployed Shepherd’s Pie that showcases eggplant instead of lamb. I tinkered a bit and reduced the fat and cholesterol while increasing the fiber and protein per serving. Total calories and sodium content increased slightly due to the pre-fab products I chose. See comparison at the end of the recipe. (More)

Leila's Chicken Paprikas & Galuska

Authentic to the letter! Leila's back story: "I found that Hungarian food could be excellently made in America; proven to me in NYC by many older Hungarian ladies. Closely entwined in their hearts was Hungarian food, music, wine and love for their homeland. Hungarian cooking is a fine art. I am very happy that I was a recipient and student thereof." Me too, enjoy! (More)

Seafood Gumbo

My all time favorite recipe, adapted from Cajun cooking expert, Jude W. Theriot's recipes and remembrances, EatingWell ©, September/October, 1993. The ingredient list is long and process labor intensive but so well worth it. Be a purist or take the express route with my shortcuts. Buy pre-cut onion, green bell pepper, celery, scallions, and parsley from the closest salad bar. Find frozen fish stock at Whole Foods Market. Get frozen sliced ready-to-go okra there too. Sub canned crabmeat and raw frozen shrimp. (More)
