Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets
This is *almost* the original recipe. I didn’t make a lot of tweaks to it, although the original called for 1/4 tsp Mrs. Dash, which I don’t use, so I just add 1/4 tsp...
Grilled Shrimp Scampi
I pretty much made this one up on the spot. I was going to add parsley, but recalled a recipe for Scampi that used basil, so I replaced the parsley at the last moment....
Pork Souvlaki
I’m quite sure soy sauce is not a Mediterranean ingredient, so the likelihood of this recipe being authentic is low … however, it is VERY good. Pork Souvlaki 2 large lemons, juiced 1/4 cup...

Bourbon Chicken
I read a bunch of bourbon chicken recipes, and did this one by pulling the elements that sounded best. Bourbon Chicken Marinade: 1/4 cup bourbon 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4...
Pork Flambe
I invented a recipe for Bourbon Chicken recently (made from several recipes I found) — family really likes it. Last week Patrick asked if I could make a brandy sauce. I thought about it...
Mustard Ginger Chicken
I think this recipe came about simply because I had just purchased ground mustard seed and dried ginger, and just dreamed up a use for both. Mustard Ginger Chicken 1 Tbsp olive oil 1...
Yogurt & Fruit Smoothies
This is more a method than a recipe. We use whatever fruit happens to be available, excepting that we almost always add banana. Yogurt & Fruit Smoothies 1/2 quart plain yogurt 1 banana, sliced...
