This delish recipe came to life in the 1950’s in Tel Aviv. Traditionally a breakfast sandwich, it was named “sabich” after the Arabic word for “morning”. Observant Jews who followed the rule to not cook after sundown on Friday could prepare all components of this sandwich in advance, and then eat it before heading to
In recent years I’ve really gotten into the ultralight concept for backpacking. Frankly, it’s brilliant! The less you take…the lighter your pack…the easier it is on your body! When I think back to my early days in The Mountaineers where we took everything AND the kitchen sink, I cringe at how heavy my pack was.
I’ve always loved salmon…but after trying steelhead trout at Timberline Lodge last summer…this fish has become my new fav! Even my less-than-psyched-about-fish partner enjoys it. There’s no fishy-ness, it’s wonderfully moist & oh so easy to make. Put a uber-flavorful sauce on top of it & you have a great dinner. Voila – I give
Although I love to try out new recipes, I find that every so often I crave an old stand-by. There’s something about making a dish that you’ve made a thousand times before…that you know exactly how it’ll taste…that you don’t have to think about much.

Tacos Gobernador or Governor’s Tacos are a brilliant cross between a taco & a quesadilla. This dish came to be in the early 1990’s when Sinaloan Governor, Francisco Labastida Ochoa, visited Mazatlan‘s Los Arcos restaurant.

Often the best dinners are the ones you make up. No recipes. No Pinterest. No measuring. Just a dump & go mash-up of good ingredients & a little creativity! Recently my college daughter sent me a pic of her latest dinner creation (see below). She & her roommate are both budding foodies & have been cooking
When I want inspiration for flavorful, yet simple dinner ideas…I look to the world. Many ethnic dishes combine basic ingredients in ways that are new & interesting to me, are simple to prepare & absolutely hands-down tasty. And, as long as you have a good spice cabinet, you can easily cook around the globe! Ethiopian
When looking for dinner ideas, Mexican-inspired options always move to the front of the line. Often, these recipes are fairly straight-forward, I tend to have most of the ingredients on-hand & they are ALWAYS tasty! Check all 3 of those boxes for this fabulous recipe – Enchiladas Suizas (Swiss Enchiladas)! I can hear you saying…Swiss
A few years ago, I spent a couple of months in Singapore. While there I enjoyed a multitude of different noodle dishes…but not Singapore Noodles! Turns out that this mix of curried rice noodles has nothing to do with Singapore. This dish was actually created in the 1950’s or 60’s by Hong Kong (then a
In the dark & cold of winter, I crave hot, spicy comfort food…like pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup. And really, what’s not to love? It has everything delish in it – thin sliced protein, crunchy veggies, hot peppers & that to-die-for flavorful broth. Even better is that it’s actually pretty easy to make. With just
