Recently, I had a client that asked me to make Swordfish Caesar Salad.  I thought, "What??"  But I think he was very happy with this creation.  It is a bit Italian and a bit Hawaiin.  You could substitute Mahi Mahi or other fish or other meats.  To zip it up a little, you could add parmesan crips.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!!  I do this salad with Tuna or Mahi Mahi...both are great.  I love the heat and the smoky flavor.  Add sliced Jalapenos if you want a little more heat.  It is high in sodium due to the dressing and anchovies.  I like the white anchovies better than the regular ones.

White wine doesn't have to be cold.

This is a wonderful dish for St. Patricks Day.  Very green.  If you want to add more green veggies, do it!

This and Onion Soup have to be my favorite 2 soups in the world!!  I've never cared for the New England Cream Based chowder.  I love the Manhattan version - the tomato based soup.  This is a soup you can make in less than and hour and enjoy right away.  Enjoy this...it is timeless.

I received All-Clad pots and pans for Christmas.

You'll love these chicken breasts...they are a great fall entree.  The tart apple and sharp cheese give the chicken an abundance of flavor.  Enjoy!  I serve these with collard greens sauteed with garlic and vinaigrette.

We can't end summer without at least a succotash posting.  It will be a great Labor Day side dish.  This is the time of year when the ears of corn are their freshest.

I learned this recipe from a good friend of mine.  He creates majic in this recipe with very few ingrerdients.  My children love them with pizza or just bye themselves.  Add a salad to this and you have a meal.  They are a bit fatty, but if you have skinny kids like I do, give it to them!

Everyone can make the cabbage and carrots of coleslaw, however, some people get bored with the simple dressing.  I've seen dressing with four ingredients and some with 15!  Here is one that focuses on the flavor.  If you want, you can always substitue white onion for the red onion and a serano or habanero for the mild chiles.  This will make the dressing have much more zip!  Summer went bye so fast, but you probably still have some picnics or cookouts remainding...we'll keep it coming!
