Herb Crusted Cod with a Mustard-Dill Yogurt Sauce

Yet another food I have recently grown accustomed to is fish. I've found that I really like the milder fishes such as cod and halibut and actually find myself looking for recipes featuring fish. This one is adapted from another one of my favorite books, The Swedish Table, by Helene Henderson. This book really strikes chord with my Swedish heritage and  appetite.

Turkey-Veggie Meatloaf with Carrot Couscous

I have never really had a taste for meatloaf. I always found it fairly bland and pointless. But I had a taste of a Central Market recipe for meatloaf and found a new love. Of course I have modified it quite a bit from the original, like I do with all my recipes.

Food

I love food. I've always loved food. From when I was a wee little nothing, my family's life was lived, mainly, in the kitchen. Both of my parents came from large families where the food was equally large—made to serve a small army and keep 'em going on the farm. Alas, our lives are not filled with back-breaking labor, so when my husband and my parents had medical wake-up-calls, I knew it was time to use my culinary passion to change their lives for the better.

All of these recipes have been tried and tested by me and whomever I can get to be my guinea pig (which usually isn't so difficult). I try to use the most fresh ingredients I can and local produce (when it's farmer's market season).
