Shakshuka (Eggs Poached in Spicy Tomato Sauce)
An Israli (but originally North African) dish, this is simple, quick, and made with things that we usually have on hand. Michelle made it tonight within 25 minutes, most of that cooking time. She said it was about 5 minutes of actual prep. The end result: a new favorite. 🙂

Piquillos Stuffed with Crab & Mango
Deceptively tasty. I can’t remember why it came up a few months ago, but it has been made several times since to well-wishes. 🙂

Grilled Chile-Lime Arctic Char
We didn’t even know about Arctic Char until 2006 or so, when my sister-in-law, Jessica, suggested it for a dinner. This fish holds well with such a simple accompaniment.

Roasted Broccoli & Shrimp
Michelle loved this dish so much that we ate it once a week for 6 weeks. Honestly. Repeats hardly ever happen and this one was a winner.

Baked French Toast
This is now a standard post-Thanksgiving brunch recipe. Why? Because you can throw it together the night before, then wake up, pop into oven, and you have instant-breakfast. When we party all-night long, we throw this together the day before so we have something easy to nibble on the following day.

Sweet Corn Bread Pudding
This has been used a number of times, originally for Thanksgiving. It is good for Turkey Day, brunch or for a vegetarian dinner.
