Cod Fillets in a Red Curry Sauce

The last of the garden tomatoes are sitting on counters all over the Northeast. Looking for something tasty to do with them ? I'm suggesting a spin on a Madhur Jaffrey recipe that takes tomatoes, onion, garlic, curry spices and transforms all into a soft, chunky, and spicy hot curry sauce. Jaffrey takes that sauce and uses it to form a base for spice-rubbed cod fillets. Her recipe calls for the dry rub marinade that sits on the fillets for half an hour. Then, the fish is quick fried on both sides to crisp the outer surface. The fish is then laid atop the red curry sauce to finish in a hot oven.

Coffee Spices ... Something to Try !

 Coffee starts my day. Every day. There is a limit, though, on my coffee intake. I'm a one cuppa girl. Anymore and I begin having shakes and jiggles. My nerves can't handle too much of a caffeine jolt. So, one cup and into the suds to clean the mug for tomorrow !

Chicken and White Bean Tostito Soup

 

It's been a while ! It's not like we haven't been eating good food, but many times we're eating just what you find in the recipe archives (see Labels in the sidebar), as who doesn't tend to head for old favorites time after time ? 

This past week, I got a yen for a 'Tex Mex soup' - that Tostito cracker soup that you sometimes find on the menu at your local burrito or taco shop. I've been sicker than a dog and not feeling like doing a restaurant visit, so I patched a recipe together using on-line recipes as a basis to start from.
