Grilled butternut squash soup

I have another confession to make (I feel like I should convert to Catholicism for as many confessions as I make on this blog) and that up to a couple years ago I despised squash.  My hatred ran so deep that I would walk by the grocery store and cuss at them and tell them […]

Growing up I was obsessed with lemon ice especially the kind you could get in your grocery store that comes in […]

Seared tuna with a shallot wasabi dressing

I promise all you fellow readers who are dying to see my keel over from heart failure this is not the start of a trend. 
The major key to this dish is the tuna so buy good tuna from a fishmonger you can trust.  Sushi grade only covers the way the fish was handled and to […]
