I recently finished The Evil Inside by Heather Graham. There is one scene where Jenna, the protagonist, orders New England Baked Scrod in a restaurant in Salem, so my culinary dish today features Massachusetts (where I grew up) with this healthy New England Baked Scrod with Saltines. I hope you like my version, which uses mayonnaise and saltines to coat the fish. This dish pairs beautifully with a light, crisp white wine and a side salad, to make the perfectly balanced, healthy meal.
Can You Toast Bagels In An Air Fryer? The (Nearly) Instant Breakfast
Here’s the question of the day … can you toast bagels in an air fryer? (The answer is a resounding YES.) My toaster oven broke. :sad face: I loved this thing, but it got a big dent in it due to our home reno. I also had a bunch of bagels in the fridge. This makes my life super simple in the morning because I can turn on the coffee machine, pop a frozen bagel in the air fryer, and go take a shower … and my breakfast is waiting for me. All I need to do is put some cream cheese on that bad boy!
Jimmy John’s Kickin’ Ranch Copycat Recipe
Jimmy Johns recently discontinued their Kickin’ Ranch, a cult favorite. I love their sandwiches and especially this sauce, so I had to recreate it. Introducing my Jimmy John’s Kickin’ Ranch copycat recipe. Kickin’ Ranch can be used as a dip for chips or veggies, a condiment for sandwiches, and a drizzle over chicken. Want more heat? Then add more peppers and pepper juice, or give it a bit of cayenne pepper. Want it more dip-y and less sauce-y? Then reduce the half and half. Easy!
Greek Spinach Feta Filo Pie (Spanakopita Recipe)
The first time I had Spanakopita (spinach feta filo pie) was in a local 24/7 diner that was owned by a Greek family. I was trying out a gluten-free diet at the time. This pie is not gluten-free, but was the closest thing on the menu other than a salad. Well, I fell in love with it. I went through this entire phase of buying different frozen Spanakopita at the grocery store and making my own. I think I perfected it!
Sausage Potato Meal Recipe in the Skillet
This sausage potato meal is one of my go-to recipes when I need something hot, filling, and satisfying. I think it’s so difficult to find good sausage meals that aren’t just sausage, peppers, and onions in a roll. I came up with this skillet meal one day when I needed to use up some sausage I bought from the grocery store.
Delicious Grilled Zucchini with Feta Cheese and Mint Recipe
Let’s throw down some of our harvest bounty with this grilled zucchini with feta and mint recipe that came together last minute, as I had a bunch of random ingredients and nothing to go with some chicken patties that I had planned for dinner. I had a zuke sitting on my counter from the farmer’s market, and some feta that was going to go bad if I didn’t use it up. And voilà (queue my French accent right there), a new fav is born. It has a hint of the Mediterranean with its minty flavor.

My brother-in-law has been on a quiche kick lately, gifting us with many pie dishes of the delicious egg concoction. The Husband loves quiche, so I decided to make him this quiche Lorraine with broccoli.
Should Cod Smell Fishy? Plus, 30+ Recipes Ideas
Growing up in Massachusetts, we had cod every Friday during Lent. Us Massachusettsians love cod so much that we named a peninsula after the fish. There are many reasons to love cod, one being that it is not an overly fishy fish. Perfect for fish and chips, too! But, how do you know that it is fresh by the smell? Should cod smell fishy? The answer is NO. A fresh piece of cod should have a subtle, clean scent – a telltale sign of its quality and freshness.
How to Make Peach Galette with This Easy Recipe
I love peaches, which are typically in season late June through August. This easy recipe will show you how to make peach galette with that bounty. I know I’m a little early for this recipe (or maybe a little late, if you are the glass-is-half-empty kind of person), but the Giant was having a sale on peaches the other day, so I decided to whip this up.
Decadent Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote Sauce Topping (Recipe)
The Husband and I used to have a cheesecake obsession, eating a slice everyday. I had another cheesecake attack recently, so I whipped up this cheesecake with blueberry compote sauce topping. Because I love cheesecake. And blueberries. And cheesecake and blueberries together.
