This Ginger Miso Tuna was awesome. It comes together really quickly, packs a ton of flavor and would easily work with other types of fish. I’ve had a tub of miso in the fridge for a really long time, it’s a great source of umami and lasts a really long time, so it’s great toRead more
As a dietitian I talk about appetite a lot. With every new resident, I ask about how their appetite has been recently. And it’s always interesting to hear what people have to say, especially when telling about their appetite leads to talking about everything else that’s been going on recently.

This simple coleslaw is one of those recipes that’s really too easy to even be called a recipe. Grandma used to make this all the time, and yet she didn’t even write it down in the cookbook she made me with her favorite family recipes. So I called Mom to ask for the recipe, andRead more

There are various styles of making these, and this is by no means a traditional recipe, but it’s a delicious and unique way to serve vegetables. You can really use a wide range of vegetables for this, but usually includes quite a bit of cabbage. More traditional versionsRead more

Oatmeal cookies are always a classic and these Ginger Oatmeal Cookies with White Chocolate and Candied Ginger have a fancy, fun twist. I’m not much of a white chocolate or a candied ginger fan, but the white chocolate isn’t overwhelming and pairs really well with a little candied ginger, which has a nice warmth toRead more
When Sister went to Stockholm she learned all about “Fika,” which is like tea-time, but with coffee and pastries and every 3 hours (at least that’s how I heard it). In an effort to be more worldly, I think we should adopt this tradition. And since we’re getting fancy, let’s go ahead and make someRead more
It’s been a long time since I’ve made as stir-fry, and I don’t know why I’ve waited so long! I don’t often cook without at least some sort of recipe as a guide, but stir-fry is really forgiving and begs to be adapted to whatever you have on hand. While I was originally thinking I’dRead more
