This week, I had a fun experience taking on a culinary challenge from Marx Foods (a online market with lots of fine foods and wholesale products.) This was my first challenge, and the theme for this challenge was: green. That’s it! I was sent small samples of bamboo rice, dill pollen, green eston lentils, whole […]
Grilled Halibut with Fennel and Orange Recipe
Grilled halibut is nostalgic for me. It is a main dish we savor all year round with the halibut that my husband and father-in-law catch each summer in Alaska! Halibut is so versatile and delicious, there are so many wonderful recipes out there! But today, I am writing to share one delicious Italian-inspired recipe from […]

Ginger Beef Stir-Fry
I love a good stir-fry and this one is loaded with flavor and color. I am expecially a sucker for fresh ginger, and the way it smells. Another great thing about stir-fry is that you can add or subtract ingredients according to your personal taste or what you might have on hand. Give this recipe […]
