What a beautiful, delicious, and easy meal. Healthy too. Big flakes of broiled salmon atop simmered lentils, all drizzled with mustard vinaigrette. I am not only going to buy the Great Food Fast cookbook, I think I will subscribe to Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food magazine, from which the recipes are drawn.
Salmon with Lentils and Mustard […]
My people love chicken with pan sauce or pork chops with pan sauce or steak with pan sauce or turkey cutlets with pan sauce. In short: they love pan sauce.

Season your fillets with salt, pepper, and a good dousing of chili pepper then broil for 10 minutes or until opaque. I used frozen sockeye salmon from Costco, just thaw overnight in the fridge.

Simmering the chicken in chicken broth and sauteed mushrooms […]
You won’t catch me stirring a bubbling and spitting pot of polenta again. Oven baking it is so much cleaner and more convenient. Plus, you don’t need special polenta — just use regular cornmeal.
The recipe called for 1/4 c milk to be stirred in after the polenta is baked, but I forgot to do that […]
Even if you haven’t grown your own tomatoes, you can enjoy delicious summery tomato pasta. I wouldn’t do a raw tomato sauce with the tomatoes I get at the grocery store, but this grilled version substitutes nicely. The juice in the tomatoes becomes thick and rich, not dripping out like you might expect it to […]
