It doesn’t get any better than this – a very simple chicken that makes deep fried chicken look pale in comparison. I created this recipe several years ago; I usually make it once a year during the holiday season when I have a crowd over at our house. It never fails to delight the palates…
Deep Fried Shrimp Balls with Buffalo Marinara Sauce
This is an easy and delicious appetizer recipe that is excellent for Super Bowl game night or any gathering. This shrimp ball reminds me of the shrimp fritters my Mom used to make. They pack a tremendous amount of flavor and the Buffalo Marinara Sauce is to die for (not literally). This sauce is also…
Oven-Roasted Wild Salmon
Salmon – just what the Doctor ordered – I have been eating wild salmon for many years now and my choice is always the wild Pacific type. I find it to have a very buttery-like flavor. My love-affair with salmon started when I noticed that I no longer suffered from three to four sinus infections…

Penne Carbonara with Chicken and Sausage
This is not your typical Italian Carbonara. Unlike traditional Carbonara that uses fettuccini or spaghetti pasta, this dish uses penne. The combination of the chicken breasts with the hot turkey sausage packs a palate pleasing robust flavor punch. I also use thyme instead of parsley – just because I love thyme and I think it…
Almost Jambalaya
This is a recipe that was inspired by my love for Cajun and Spanish food. It’s not your traditional jambalaya as I added a Spanish twist by using sriracha and jalapeño for the touch of spiciness. I also did not use green bell peppers since I don’t like the taste. This is an excellent one…
