The EatingWell Taco
Tonight we had "The EatingWell Taco" -- yes, that's really what it is called. Here's a picture of the meat. Here's the "The EatingWell Taco Shell" that go with The EatingWell Taco recipe. They were fun to make; since I've never...

Swirled Cheesecake Brownies
The hardest part about making these Swirled Cheesecake Brownies is waiting for them to fully cool before cutting them into 24 pieces. I can't take this waiting... I want to taste one now. They smell sooooo good! UPDATE: I couldn't wait any longer....

We really love the Turkey & Tomato Panini recipe. We've had them several times the last few days. So I figured they deserve more pictures. Dan cut the loaf into (from top to bottom) Dan, Mom & Gaetano size slices. We've gotten more brave...

Honey-Soy Broiled Salmon
Wow! We liked the Honey-Soy Broiled Salmon tonight even more than the Salmon with Pepita-Lime Butter (made on 3/5/2010). This was definitely faster and easier to make, which is always nice. In the background is Roasted Asparagus with Garlic-Lemon...
