Asian

  I cook Asian food every week, and my taster, Lutz, said this one is the best we’ve ever had…so here goes! I have to admit it was amazing and really had a robust flavor as well as a surprise kick. You can use chicken […]

  While on the boat we typically eat the same food groups while traveling. Usually, a protein, some veggies, and some kind of salad. When it rains I use my crockpot but mostly we grill come rain, snow, and sun! How do I keep things […]

  This oil is amazing! I am so fortunate to have an herb garden at home and on my boat. I’ve made hummus a million times and decided this oil would really knock it up a notch. Plus, heck, I’m in France, why not?  It […]

  I love Lutz’s Lentil Soup and it’s rich flavors with pork belly or pork knuckle chunks, but tonight I wanted a different flavor. I wanted something Asian. I buy fresh Asian herbs and veggies and keep them in the freezer for such occasions. I […]

  As you can see from many of my previous posts I LOVE SPICE! I’m learning the craft of not overpowering meals with my hot peppers and letting the true flavors come through. I think this one-dish definitely delivers. I chilled on the chilis and […]

  These meatballs were so easy to make, and I actually made them the day before. I fried them to seal them up, then put them in the fridge for the next evenings’ barbecue (you can cook them on the grill right away if you […]

  This is so delicious and keeps for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, but it never lasts that long around our house. It’s quick, easy and makes a great impression.  Or spread this on your gluten-free homemade bread or one of my Grain-Free Cassava Century […]

Moving to Germany sixteen years ago posed a food challenge for me: I love hot and spicy, but Germany is basically bland meat and potatoes with gravy and over-cooked veggies. It has changed since I first arrived, and new restaurants pop up every day with […]

  As you can see, I’m on a soup roll. This is one of my favorite dishes, and it’s easy and quick to make. I can’t say I invented it, but after trial and error and reading a million recipes from the web, this recipe […]
