This is a favorite dish I serve with a classic greek salad and chicken souvlaki. It takes a little more time to cook but it is a crowd pleaser. Ingredients 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (chopped into wedges) or fingerlings (chopped in half) 3/4 cup broth (chicken or vegetable) 3/4 cup olive oil 2 lemons, juiced 10 garlic cloves, crushed …
Oven-Roasted Radishes
Most people, who even eat radishes, tend to eat radishes in their raw form only, which is fantastic. I am a big proponent of getting raw vegetables in the diet. However, once you taste radishes in their roasted form you will actually crave them this way…I won’t say you will never go back because I like them both ways and …
Lemon Lady Cocktail
Looking for a new gin cocktail? I think this is one of my latest faves which, of course, contains some of my fantastic bitter ingredients: craft gin and lemon juice. The bitterness of the lemon and the gin is balanced by the sweetness of the triple sec. Although triple sec contains sugar, when you use only 1/2 oz you are …
Herbed Summer Squash
This is one of my favorite quick vegetable dishes to make on a hot summer day. Often found in the local veggies section of my grocer or at any farm stand in New England, yellow summer squash and zucchini are ubiquitous here in the summer. I tend to buy the smaller ones because I prefer their taste profile, but also …
Spicy Grilled Salmon
The first key principle to delicious tasting salmon is getting the freshest, best quality salmon available to you. The second principle is getting the timing and temperature just right, so it does not become overcooked and dry. After, getting those two pieces in place, then you can go in many directions with adding complimentary flavors. One of my favorite ways …
Low Carb Margarita
Depending on how your margarita is made, you could be consuming over 800 calories in one glass, with a lot of those cals coming from sugar. However, there is a much healthier, low sugar recipe that can keep you enjoying margaritas, without the guilt. Classic margaritas are made with tequila, triple sec and lime juice which will lower the calorie …
Skinny Paloma
This is my take on a classic Mexican cocktail that uses tequila, keeping all the goodness of it, without the added sugar. Many ingredients that are mixed in cocktails fall into the category of ‘bitters’. Bitter compounds found in plants are very good for digestive health. In the 1800s alcoholic bitters were often served as an apértif, added to pre-dinner …
Chimichurri Sauce
You can add this classic Argentinian sauce to freshly cooked concentrated protein. I love that this sauce is uncooked and provides a big punch of bitter bioactives. 2 cups fresh Italian parsley 2/3 cup fresh mint leaves 2 TB fresh oregano 1 small shallot, diced 2 TB capers 3 cloves of garlic 1 tsp red pepper flakes 2 TB red …
