Cod With Beans, Corn, and Pesto

July 16th, 2010

You can use any white fish (cod, tilapia, halibut, etc.) for this recipe, but just remember to get it from a sustainable source.  Super easy recipe from the 15 minute Real Simple collection.  Try this with the July Wine of the Month or a Sauvignon Blanc!




Tuna and Chickpea Salad With Pesto

June 8th, 2010

Here is another pseudo salad that can be a side dish or a main meal.  And since there is no cooking involved, this recipe is great for a day at the beach, picnic, or hike.  If you want to make a healthier version of pesto try Caitlin’s pesto recipe of  a few tablespoons olive oil, a bunch of basil, 1 cup cashews, 1 garlic glove, pinch of salt and pepper.  Blend all ingredients in blender.  Healthy and yummy!




Grilled Halibut with Tatsoi (Spinach) and Spicy Thai Chiles

June 8th, 2010

This fish recipe is excellent with fresh halibut and the tatsoi can be replaced by your everyday spinach.  The sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and spice.  The sauce can be prepared earlier and you will want to use it on everything.  This meal will delightfully fill you but is quite low in calories.  Avery healthy and satisfying meal and pairs well with a dry Gewurztraminer or Riesling.




Salmon, Red Potato and Asparagus Salad

April 6th, 2010

Now here is a salad from Williams Sonoma with so many interesting flavors and ingredients, it seems that you were just emptying the fridge of food so things wouldn’t spoil.  But, this salad is absolutely wonderful and the tastes all strangely complement themselves.  Dill, green onions, sun-dried tomatoes with potatoes and salmon?  Several of these ingredients are in season and and we were even able to use lettuce from a client’s garden (thanks Dana).  Nice for lunch or an early light dinner.  The flavors pair well with a crisp New Zealand sauvignon blanc.




Seafood Cioppino

March 9th, 2010

Made this seafood stew, originally created by Italian fisherman in San Francisco, the other night and thought it was fantastic.  I used rock cod and yellowtail fish and cooked it a little less than what it says and it turned out great.  Serve it with a salad and warm bread and you have yourself a great meal.  Also, paired it with Segura Viudras Champagne ($6.99, an absolute steal) and Bonterra Rose ($11.99).  The recipe says it serves 8 but it is more like 6.




Salmon with Lemon-Cilantro Vinaigrette

February 3rd, 2010

Got this super easy and tasty recipe from Real Simple’s  October 2009 issue.  There is hardly any preparation time, few, easy to find organic ingredients that are easy to find from sustainable sources.  This is a great recipe during the week when time is limited.  If you want some greens, sauté some spinach or kale with olive oil and garlic and grate some zest from the lemon over the wilted greens.
