We [Heart] Food

Category: Main Dishes

  • Salmon Chili

    Jeremy and Autumn came over for dinner tonight and we enjoyed this Salmon Chili, adapted from a recipe in the McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant Cookbook.

  • Costa Rican Tilapia

    Abbie and Carrie were over tonight and we made this tilapia dish again; the rice is totally the star of the show.

The last time we made this was for an International Potluck — not only did I not have time to properly photograph […]

  • Lemon-Pepper Chicken over Garlicky Spinach & Sauteed Marjoram Carrots

    We received our latest CSA shipment today, and an internet search returned a few promising recipes that would utilize our fresh veggies and wouldn’t require any trips to the grocery store. The Lemon-Pepper Chicken over Garlicky Spinach recipe is slightly modified from this one on RecipeZaar, and the carrot dish comes from Quick From Scratch […]

  • Kefta Kebabs and Cauliflower with Taratur Sauce

We had originally planned to make this cauliflower dish (from Lebanese Cuisine) as part of the Lebanese feast last weekend, but there was already way too much food, and so we made an excuse […]

  • Salmon Grilled in Grape Leaves

    This recipe is from Steven Raichlen’s Barbecue Bible, and we both really enjoyed this new way of preparing salmon! It’s stuffed with a walnut-cilantro-dill filling, and then wrapped in grape leaves and placed on a hot grill. We served the fish with roasted sunchokes drizzled with truffle oil. Fancy! Lisa says: My dad would really […]
