Salmon Poached in Pickling Spices

Salmon Poached in Pickling Spices Pickle juice makes a nice poaching liquid, but I've found that pickling spices without the vinegar are even better for poaching fish, especially salmon.

I also look at trends in the healthy Read More

Flaxseed and Squash Tortillas

Flaxseed and Squash Tortillas These tortillas are soft enough to wrap around fish but durable enough to hold fajitas. I spent weeks perfecting them! Everyone who tries them loves them.

Flaxseed contains Read More

Tomato paste gives this Read More
