Hearty Beef and Barley Soup II -- Juggling With Julia

I revised my original beef barley soup last week. Homemade soup is an absolute must in this type of weather. It’s not really winter, but not yet Spring, and they are still talking snow storms. Blecch. Get me outta here. Or at least, get me a bowl of thick “stoup” and I’ll be alright. Why [...]

Roasted Buttermut Squash Soup with Bacon -- Juggling With Julia

Have I ever told you all how great you are? You’ve stuck with me all this time! It’s amazing, really, that you come for (mostly) healthy recipes, and yet there are times that I forget I’m a dietitian, subject you to my Seuss-like food poetry, do weird things to bacon, and require you to read [...]

Ham and Broccoli Mac

Homemade Mac ‘n cheese. It’s simply the best — creamy, savory, warm and filling, and oh so cheesy. What’s not to love? And the types of Mac ‘n cheese? The question is what CAN’T you do to Mac ‘n cheese? Lobster mac at the The Loft is famous locally, with an adoring fan following and a thumbs up [...]

Chicken Marbella -- Juggling With Julia

This dish has it all. If it were a western, it’d be titled The Sweet. The Salty. The Tangy.  If it were a piece of art, its caption would read “Plums and Olives Dancing Lightly on a Chicken’s Breast.”  Some call it marbella, others mirabella. But nobody calls it late for dinner (har har har). I’ve had this combo [...]

Lighten Up! Ham and Spinach Quiche

November 19, 2012 Breakfast/Brunch

Hot Pastrami Sammy with Grilled Onions and Slaw

November 14, 2012 Lunch Ideas

Sayonara to my former all-time fave sandwich, my avocado, bacon, and tomato egg sandwich. There’s a new sammy in town! Hot pastrami, savory grilled Vidalias, crunchy sweet cole slaw. Oh my goodness. I am drooling just thinking about it! Flavor, texture, and zip, and some serious yin and yang going on! The warmth of the pastrami opposite the cool [...]

Panko Parmesan Baked Haddock

November 9, 2012 Fish

“Of all the fishes in the sea, haddock is the one for me.” ~ Juggling with Julia ~ Yep, it’s true. If you made me choose just one, I’d choose haddock every time. It’s so easy to cook with, takes on all kinds of flavors gracefully, and cooks up quickly with little fuss. It’s hard [...]

How to Make ‘Homemade’ Calzones and How to Roast Peppers

October 30, 2012 Bread

If you have never tried making calzones at home, I’m here to tell you it is so much easier than you think. There is no better aroma than bread stuffed with your favorite ingredients baking in your own kitchen. Sure, a little messy, but not nearly as much as baking with caramel (more on that later [...]

Crispy Salmon Cakes

October 25, 2012 Fish

This love affair with salmon is still going strong. So you can imagine my excitement when my fave pinkalicious fillets were selling for $4.99 a pound this week! I’ve been dying to make salmon cakes – something I knew that *most of the family would love — so what better time to go for it? *We’ll just say that [...]

Sunday Dinner: Beef Burgundy with Mushrooms

October 23, 2012 Beef

I wish I were eating this right now. It’s Sunday as I write, I’m hungry, and a slow-roasted dish with tender chunks of meat, tasty mushrooms, and a thick, rich sauce sounds so good. Unfortunately, I don’t often have time for recipes with the word “slow” in it.  That’s just not the speed I operate at [...]
