Welcome

I had a demanding career back in the day and traveled a lot so needless to say, I would do about anything to avoid cooking. Ironically enough, I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.

Anyway, since my husband and I dined out several times a week and well, we still do, people always wanted my advice on where to eat, what to have, what is the best new hot spot and they wanted details, details, details. I live in a vacation spot so I would also be asked for recommendations on where to take out of town guests and by price range, no less. So this blog is a way for my friends, family and anyone who is interested to read about my latest dining or drinking experiences, mostly in and around south Florida. They might even find a recipe or two on those occasions I actually stay home. Good eating!

Salmon - let me count the ways

Salmon is something I turn to often as it's a healthy choice and there are so many really easy recipes. These are two of my favorites - both quick and both delicious. Thanks to Erica for the Horsey Salmon recipe (I don't think she'll mind if I share it:-). And thanks to Sara Mouton for the other one.


Horsey Salmon
Coat a baking dish with olive oil. Spread a light layer of prepared horseradish sauce on a salmon fillet, lightly dust with breadcrumbs and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.


Roasted Salmon with Hot Mustard Cracker Topping
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared English mustard (preferably Colman's)
1 1/2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
35 to 40 wasabi rice crackers
Kosher salt
Four 6-ounce pieces center-cut salmon fillet, skin removed

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the sour cream, mustard, and brown sugar. Coarsely crush the rice crackers (about 1 cup). Season the salmon on all sides with salt. Arrange the pieces in one layer in a shallow baking pan, skinned side down. Spread the top of each piece with the sour cream mixture and top with some of the crushed crackers. Bake the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, or until barely cooked through.
