Chicken & Mushroom Casserole with Crunchy Stuffing Topping
Chicken & Mushroom Casserole with Crunchy Stuffing Topping is a recipe I concocted. To me, texture is key. I love things that are crunchy! I happened to have a half a box of leftover stuffing mix and decided to use it up. You could make this ahead and bake it later. Love that!

Nobu’s Miso-Marinated Black Cod
I made this Kaiseki style dinner. Kaiseki or kaiseki-ryōri is a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. The term also refers to the variety of skills and techniques used to prepare the dishes. We had this Miso Marinated Black Cod several times while we were in Japan. I really like it. It's very mild and sweet tasting and easy to make. The main thing is that you have to marinate it for at least 24 hours or up to 3 days.

Cold Noodles with Chicken & Sesame Sauce
If you can't stand the heat..... I am not a sunny climate, hot weather type of person. I know this must be a shock to most of you, but it’s true. I hate the heat. Unfortunately, I live in Los Angeles. I try to think of things that I can make in the morning and pull out of the fridge for dinner. One of my go to meals on a bloody hot day is – cold noodles with sesame sauce. It’s a great dinner and it’s delicious. I always eat it with chop sticks and a very cold glass of wine!

Herbed Steamed Rice
Herbed Steamed Rice - the fresh herbs really add a wonderful bright note to this rice. Every time I make something with tarragon, it's like I've used a mystery herb. Tarragon was very popular in the late 70s early 80s, but isn't used much now. This rice pairs well with Lyonnaise Chicken with Vinegar Sauce.

Israeli Couscous with Dried Cranberries, Apricots & Currants
This Israeli Couscous with Dried Cranberries, Apricots & Currants is such a colorful salad. I used Traders Joe's Harvest Grains Blend, which has a little bit of orzo, baby garbanzo beans and quinoa in it. You can just used plain Israeli couscous.

Spanish Roasted Potatoes with Tomato Sauce
I am always looking for new ways to make potatoes. "Patatas Bravas" is a classic Spanish tapas dish and is served in bars all over Spain. The sauce has a slight bite from the Tabasco, hence the name bravas, which means "fierce." They are also called "angry" potatoes. You can serve them with toothpicks as a snack or as a side dish.

Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
Got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman. I've been needing a little comfort food. This fits the bill - creamy and delicious. I bought chicken that was already cut up. You could even use a rotisserie chicken.

Sour Cream Noodle Bake
My friend, Chris, dropped this casserole off for me with some of her home grown tomatoes and peppers. It couldn't have come at a better time. We are putting in a new kitchen and everything was torn out. Also, I was having my last chemo treatment! Yay!
