Seafood in every way. And desserts.

My cooking triumphs
My salmon chowder and tandoori chicken are always a hit. And I make a really good Blueberry coffee cake.
My cooking tragedies
Cantaloupe Panna Cotta. I have tried and tried, but it always ends up a watery mess.

Beet Bundt Cake
I was looking for a good way to get rid of a big purchase of beets courtesy my DH. And did I hit the jackpot! This cake turned out moist and lightly sweet and tastes rich and not at all healthy like you would expect vegetable to taste. ;) It has a dense almost fudge brownie kind of texture. I did add one additional TBSP of cocoa powder and that's it. I would recommend a light glaze for those who have a big sweet tooth. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Tasty Buns
This recipe was very good and easy to follow. The buns came out bakery-quality good. I replaced 2 cups of the all-piurpose flour with whole wheat flour to make it healthier. It tasted great. And it took less than an hour! These make really big buns, so, the next time I make them, I'll probably make 15 instead of 12 buns.

Perfect Flat Iron Steak
This was a very easy and flavorful recipe. I did add a little more garlic and rosemary than called for, but that's because I like my flavors a little intense. I also used the pan scrapings to make a simple wine and mushroom gravy to round it out. Thanks for the recipe.
