Mussels in Wine Bath
These little babies love garlic and wine. No wonder I love them. This could be an app or dinner. Serve with some crusty bread and feast! If using fresh mussels, add them to a ziploc with water to fully submerge and a TBSP of flour. The mussels should spit out any sand or silt they’re…

Whipped Feta Pistachio Dip
Galentines weekend in NYC was so good for my heart and soul and belly. One of our favorite restaurants was Shuka, an amazing Mediterranean restaurant and this dip was everything. Try it. It’s sooooo good. 1/4 cup olive oil 4 oz shelled pistachio nuts 11 oz feta 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped 1/4 cup dill…

Nam Pla (Thai spicy fish condiment)
I LOOOOOOVE this sauce. I put it on everything. Eggs, roasted veggies, sautéed veggies, grilled meat, fish – even pizza. It stores in the fridge for a good couple weeks if you don’t eat it all before then. Note: the traditional recipe calls for limes but I’ve replaced it with vinegar. Nam Pla 12 Thai…

Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip
I had the Good Egg version of this and it was soooo good. I accidentally recycled the carton before I could take a pic. So, I searched the internet and came up with this. It’s definitely not the same. But it is still really good. Roasted Red Pepper Walnut Dip 2 red bell peppers 1…

Super Bowl Apps
I KNOW! Super Bowl happened in February. But I made these super delicious apps and totally forgot to post AND take a picture. I was craving these and realized that I never captured the success here. Ugh! Well, as soon as I make them again (likely Fathers Day), I’ll add the pics Buffalo Chicken Sliders…

Tyrosalata
There once was a restaurant we all loved and then it closed. For years we reminisced about their feta dip. Then, Covid hit and they started up a takeout biz outta their home. Tyrosalata was back and it’s damn good. They didn’t have any this week. So, I went ahead and tried my hand at…

Blistered Shishito Peppers
I love the roulette experience of eating these. You never know when you might get a spicy one. These are such an easy appetizer that can be done in less than 10 mins. Heat a cast iron skillet on med/high until water drops sizzle and evaporated quickly. Toss peppers with oil to just coat. In…

Spicy Ahi Poke
I posted a poke recipe before and it’s great. This time, I tried making a version we recently had in Oahu called the CA roll poke. It’s the perfect combination of fresh and decadent. Make this and eat it over rice or salad. 1/2 lb sushi grade ahi tuna, diced into 1/2” chunks 1/4 cup…
