When making fish and chips at home, I say leave the deep-frying to the pros and opt for the oven instead. How to Make Baked Fish and Chips Use any firm-fleshed white fish fillets for this baked fish and chips recipe. Check the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch list to find species available in your area that are not overfished. When ready to make your dinner, start with the potatoes since they take longer than the fish....
When I was a kid, on the days peas were being served for dinner, my siblings and I would jockey for a particular seat at the dining room table. This spot had a secret drawer in the table. (Well maybe not so secret, but good enough to not catch the notice of our unsuspecting parents.) The trick was to take a spoonful of peas, cover your mouth as if you were wiping something away, extricate the peas from your mouth into your hand, slyly open the drawer, and place the peas in the drawer....
The friends that introduced me to sushi also threw sushi making parties—an easy and economical way to eat sushi. We bought a variety of sashimi-grade fish from a local restaurant and split the cost. We spent the evening making sushi rice, cutting up fish and nori, and making rolls and nigiri to our heart’s content. At these parties, I learned the importance of making good sushi rice. What is Sushi Rice?...
Vegetarian Tortellini Soup is a hearty meal with onions, celery, baby spinach, and cheese-filled tortellini simmered in a light tomato-based broth.

I reach for this recipe when I don’t know what to make but need to get dinner on the table quickly. A bonus? Leftovers taste even better the next day....

Why I Will Never Go Back To Regular Kids Bedding If you have ever owned bunk beds you know what a HUGE PAIN they are to make. The bottom bunk isn’t too bad to make but the top… IMPOSSIBLE. I don’t know about you but making a bunk bed for me consisted of trying to balance on the bunk bed ladder, making the bed as best as I could (which wasn’t good at all) then crawling up on to the bed to tuck in the sheets and comforter and then trying to stealthily back off the bed, back onto the ladder, without disturbing the bedding (which I could never accomplish)....

Chicken Coconut Korma My cousin’s wife, Kristen, made this Chicken Coconut Korma for us when we were living in California and my husband and I were both crazy about it. They were really the first to introduce us to Indian food and now it is something we get ALL THE TIME. Because we fell head over heels in love. In fact, shortly after that we had Indian neighbors move in to the apartment next door and I could always smell the yummy spices of the food she was making....
It couldn’t be easier to make! You start by cooking some onions, carrots, celery, and yellow curry powder, add stock, apples, rice, cook for a bit, then stir in the chopped cooked turkey. Drizzle a little cream in at the end. Easy! It’s also one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. My father and my sweetheart, two men who for some weird reason have never learned to appreciate the flavors of Indian cuisine, couldn’t stop eating this soup....
Elevate the Humble Elderberry For most, the word “berries” evokes the go-tos: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and maybe blackberries. However, in North America alone there are hundreds of species of berries, most of which have never seen the light of the misty refrigerated grocery shelf. Why is this? Well, berries themselves are finicky things. They bruise easily, or have a very short shelf life. And some berries, native to only certain regions of the country, just don’t enjoy awareness and aren’t in wide demand....
Rectangles of halloumi are dusted in semolina or cornmeal, sautéed until crisp, drizzled with a warm, thyme-infused honey, and topped with crunchy pomegranate seeds.

Let’s be honest, you can never go wrong with fried cheese....

Originally from the oceanic South—Georgia, the Low Country coast of the Carolinas and Gulf Coast states all have their versions—this homey bowl of awesome was historically a simple fisherman’s breakfast: Grits, with some bacon and a few shrimp tossed on top. If you’ve ever eaten it, you can understand why shrimp and grits has burst from the seaside shrimp shanties. The Best Shrimp and Grits Recipe The grits are soft, buttery, and often cheesy, with a savory, bacon-studded sauce surrounding them, and lots and lots of shrimp....
This decadent and over-the-top open-faced sandwich starts with thick sliced bread toasted and piled high with thinly sliced roasted turkey, tomato, and a creamy mornay sauce. It’s then broiled until the sauce is browned in spots and topped off with crispy bacon slices and a sprinkle of parsley. A Kentucky Hot Brown is indulgence personified. It’s a party of textures - the bacon provides crispness, the cheese sauce adds creaminess, you get tang from the lightly broiled tomato, and the toast is there to sop up all that extra sauce....
Easy Chicken for Two! This chicken is my new favorite dish. It takes almost no prep time, uses one pot and one pan, and tastes dreamy with lots of lemon, herbs, and my favorite green olives!

It tastes great with little effort and its so pretty to look at, too!...
