Salt-and-Pepper Squid with Chinese Five-Spice Powder

Posted by Sheri on Sunday, February 19th, 2012 · Comments (0)

The second half-pound of squid we got from our Siren SeaSA delivery was used to make fried calamari (with a twist). We cooked up a batch and just munched on it – it would make a nice appetizer. The squid is again cut into rings (tentacles in half), and then coated in egg and then [...]

Brie, Date and Toasted Walnut Crostini

Posted by Sheri on Friday, January 13th, 2012

We had a somewhat spur-of-the-moment company night with our friends Chris and Julie. It’s something we don’t do enough lately (have people over for dinner). It seems as if dinner parties always works out better for me if they’re not over-planned, so I’m forced to just make things that are reliable and delicious, rather than [...]

Three-Paprika Roasted Chickpeas

Posted by Sheri on Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

It’s great with pita chips, of course, but it’s versatile enough to go with fresh vegetables or spread onto a wrap or sandwich. I’ve always got canned chickpeas and tahini on hand, so all it takes is a whirl in the food [...]

Party Food

Posted by Sheri on Saturday, September 17th, 2005

Katie and I spent the day making yummy treats for her husband’s surprise party tomorrow. Everything was really good. – The Creamed Corn mixture is super tasty and easy to make. We omitted the prosciutto and just used toasted bread. – We used ground turkey for the meatballs. They could have been a bit smaller [...]

Thanksgiving Turkey

Posted by Sheri on Thursday, November 25th, 2004

Larry, his dad and Jay were here for Thanksgiving dinner. I skipped out on the herbed dinner rolls that I made last year, because I wasn’t up to making them (although they’re very easy). I decided to make this soup after Amy told me she was making it. I was more convinced that I should [...]
