This one is great to throw together on a weekend around lunch time and leave cooking all afternoon for dinner.  It is also a popular potluck dish, and makes plenty of servings for just such an occasion…or make it for yourself and have lots of extra for lunches.  Best of all, you can adjust the both the meatballs and the sauce with other “Asian” ingredients to increase the variety of this meal just about any way you want.

Grilled Salmon with Coconut Dijon Sauce

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | 2 Comments

This is a super-simple and super-quick recipe for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time to prep and still want a meal with lots of flavor.  The sauce is made while the fish is on the grill, and requires only a few simply ingredients that should be in the pantry of any primal cook.  In the process of making this dish, you’ll also have the base for a sauce that would go great with just about any seafood or light meat combination you can think of (grilled pork, fried chicken, scallops – you name it).  So save the leftovers for lunch, and plan something complimentary in the next couple of nights that’s equally quick to use up the remaining sauce.

Fried Turkey Tenders with Mushroom Wine Sauce

Posted on January 24, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Here is a great tasting meal that is quick and easy to make.  Kids will like the fact these are little finger-food sized pieces of fried turkey (even if you do insist they eat them with a fork).  And if your kids are a bit picky about the “M” word, you can simply forgo the sauce on their plates – it just means more of the good stuff for yourselves!

Thai Curry Casserole

Posted on January 21, 2011 by | 9 Comments

We found this recipe in a recent copy of our local “free” paper and immediately saw the potential…to tweak it.  There are a lot of things that might be considered “out of the ordinary” going into this dish, so it’s easiest to just name it for the primary spice mix that is used to flavor it.  Don’t let that fool you.  Instead, follow along for a great all-in-one meal that will taste as good the next day for leftovers as it will straight out of the oven.
