Carribean Lime Halibut

This is a very easy way to prepare fish. The pan-frying to start seals the juices in. Serve this fish with Emerald City Salad or Mediterranean Quinoa Salad which are both available for viewing on Cookus Interruptus. Three tablespoons of Lime Boost can be substituted for lime and sugar. Slightly sweeter but works just as well.

Ham Bone Soup

A delicious way to use up that leftover ham bone. I added an additional two cups water and let the ham bone simmer in the first stage for an hour longer. I simmered uncovered but then just by sight covered later when it looked like too much water was evaporating. I also added couple diced potatoes with the beans. I ...

Lentil-Sweet Pepper Soup with Cumin and Black Pepper

I think the Black Beluga lentils are best for this soup, Beware this is addictive! Makes 4 cups, best make a double batch while you are at it, just make sure the pot is big enough.

Massaged Kale Salad

This is AMAZING! Don't let the health factor fool you... I can eat a whole head of kale this way. This is the simple recipe but you could add diced radishes, tomatoes, other veggies. You can vary the cheese. Lacinato kale, AKA dinosaur kale is the best but others are fine too. Salt and lemon juice are approximate, adjust to ...

Southwestern Corn Tart

amazing summer tart! Add more or less chilies to your taste. If they are mild, a few pinches of cayenne will bring out the heat. I didn't have marjoram so I used more cilantro, I also added a bit more cheese because I love cheese! Put a sheet or pan under the tart in the oven to avoid cleaning up ...

Kale and Feta Tart

Great way to get your greens! Kalamata olives add a nice salty taste, vary according to your taste. Same with the nutmeg and herbs, basil is also delicious in this dish, but none are absolutely necessary.

raspberry brown sugar gratin

Super easy and fast, super yummy! Very cute in individual ramekins and easy to adjust the ingredient amounts. I did make it with a bit less sour cream and it was great, but here is the original recipe because I bet it's even better. Can try Greek yogurt for lower fat.

Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken

This roasted chicken takes a little preparation and a little patience. Browning the chicken before roasting it gets a little messy. The small hassle is time well spent, though; the flavor is superior to that of more simply prepared roasts. Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes

Gooseberry Soup (karviaismarjakiisseli)

Great, light dessert. Make blueberry soup by substituting blueberries and adding lemon juice to taste. make rhubarb soup by substituting 1-inch pieces of rhubarb and increasing sugar to 1/2 cup (or more if very tart). for strawberry soup, omit the cinnamon and add a dash of nutmeg.
