If you’ve thought a Souffle was a fancy dish, the bastion of a master chef, think again. I was charmed by this simple recipe from my Grandmother’s 1930s cookbook. Not as tall or high-rising as a fancy soufflé, this is a simple country souffle and is absolutely delish. No stress and worry-free, a soufflé like this is right at home at breakfast, brunch, or as a simple side, and can be a light dinner.
Smoked Salmon “Cheesecake”
Salmon Cheesecake? Really? Reactions of those who’ve never considered a savory cheesecake tend to vary until someone tries this creamy, smoky spread. You may have to get over the name, but you’ll never get over your first taste…I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve been asked for it.
Cold Tuna Salad with Green Beans
You’ll know the living is easy when you Cold Tuna Salad with Green Beans. I know Cold Tuna. Green Beans. That might not sound too inspired, but wait! There’s more. There are gorgeous little cherry tomatoes and of all things, white beans. And that’s all set off by this fabulous Herby Lemon Vinaigrette. The combination is so amazing. The tuna is set off by the fresh, perfectly cooked green beans, the creamy white beans, and the bright tomatoes. This is everyday ingredients transformed.
Salmon Hash with Hollandaise
I can be possessed by food jealousy; it happens to those on a budget. They hear about a friend’s restaurant dinner, see a gorgeous meal in a magazine, or maybe they watch Tyler Florence. Darn you, Tyler! Darn you and your belly of fresh Atlantic salmon that would be so perfect for Mother’s Day! My solution: a budget-friendly Salmon Hash with Hollandaise.
