Meyer Lemon Semifreddo with Mixed Berries

Posted in Dessert, Favorites, fruit, tagged , , , , on May 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »

This was far and away the star of the show last weekend.  I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit a while ago and was drawn to it because it seemed like ice cream that you didn’t need an ice cream maker to make.  And I love lemon and berries.  Overall, this was pretty simple to [...]

Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese and Spinach Salad

Posted in Main Dish, Quick & Easy, Salad, Seafood, Side Dish, fruit, tagged , , , , , , , , on May 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »

One of the most memorable dishes we had in Spain was a salad of spinach, smoked salmon, goat cheese and pomegranate seeds.  It was sweet, savory and tangy all at the same time.  When I made this for Mother’s Day, I was not willing to pay $6.00 for a handful of pomegranate seeds, so the [...]

I’ve been wanting to make this cake since I saw it on Smitten Kitchen.  Last week’s sauteed cinnamon apples were a quick attempt at getting that taste, but nothing beats the entire cake.  This cake has a lot of apples, so you really get that great taste, and since the apples are in chunks, you [...]

Cinnamon Apples

I love apple pie and apple crisp, but what I really love about it is the filling…cinnamony, sweet, slightly tart apple slices that still have a little firmness to them.  Making cinnamon apples is a really quick way to get that taste, and with fewer calories than in a pie.  You can eat these plain [...]

If you want a really healthy, tasty salad to ward off holiday unhealthiness, here it is.  This salad, adapted from 101 Cookbooks, would be great anytime of year, but particularly fall when apples and broccoli are at their peak.  You could modify this many ways- add raisins or sprinkle with sunflower seeds, maybe add some [...]

Sorry I’ve been a little spotty with the posting.  I’m back and ready to go with a few new recipes this week.  First up is a salad I made this weekend for a potluck.  The real key to this recipe is the candied walnuts.  You could add these to any type of salad and make [...]
