Recipe: Mushroom Tilapia Casserole with Eggplant Sauce
The flavors here are intense and earthy, and the after-glow is better than the most sought after comfort food. This actually feels as good as it tastes, if that makes any sense.
Main Dish
Recipe: Parmesan Broiled Tilapia
This is completely easy, very quick, and always moist and delicious. It is one of my recipes that people (my daughter in California, my sister in Ohio, etc) frequently tell me has become a staple in their homes too, after I shared it with them. I’m sorry I haven’t gotten it onto the blog until now!
Recipe: Eggplant Caponata Open-faced Subs
It is eleven degrees below zero today, and this makes a heart warming meal that is a bit spicy, but sure to satisfy. It is quick to make, but get all the ingredients together before you start, as the process goes fast.
Recipe: Green Egg Bake
This is good, and even our teenager liked it, who doesn’t think she likes cooked spinach. She told me to make it again!
Crescent Rolls Stuffed with…
Of all of the beautiful food we had over the holidays, these two ridiculously easy ideas were especially appreciated by our two older children; both recipes involve the crescent rolls that we get at Trader Joe’s.
Recipe: Pepper, Quinoa, and Salmon Stir-fry
I used the assortment of peppers shown below as the launching point for this for this dish, as well as the leftover roasted salmon I had in the refrigerator.
Recipe: Our Homemade Salmon Burgers
We have made these salmon burgers for over 15 years, having adjusted a recipe over time that was originally in the New York Times. I just realized recently that the recipe has never made it onto my blog so I’m fixing this omission right away!
More Sacramento Food
The above dinner our daughter bought me in the airport as a special treat to thank me for my hard work moving her into her apartment…
Recipe: Chickpea Stuffed Poblano Peppers
This is a delicious vegetarian meal served with a simple side salad of garden lettuce, avocado and cilantro. You can make the peppers as spicy as you like; we are wusses and use about 3/4 of a tablespoon of chili powder, but I know others that would want more.
Recipe: Traditional Eggplant Parmesan
I love a good eggplant parmesan, and this one blows the socks off of any I’ve ever had.
Recipe: Summer Squash with Sauce, Pine Nuts & Parmesan
This is a wonderfully delicious vegetarian meal or could also be offered as a excellent family style side dish.

You’ll find the following recipes on the blog for these recent menus around here. Enjoy the photos as well.
Recipe: Tuna Steak Burgers
Obviously, you could serve these traditionally on buns, but I serve ours topped with homemade roasted peppers. It would be good as well topped with a spicy mayonnaise.
Recipe: Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash
We enjoy this as a light meal on its own, but I suppose it could be considered a side dish as well.
Recipe: Tortilla Chip Casserole
Here is what you do with the chip bits at the bottom of the bag. This is very delicious! It will quickly become a favorite and is easy to make too
Recipe: Mushroom Stroganoff
This is both good and really quick and easy. We ate it here as a solo main dish but I like it better as a side for something else.
