A staple at the New York Jewish Deli’s. I used to hate the taste of fish until I tried this beauty in a Deli. The thinness of the Lox helps mask the fishy texture and smoking the salmon keeps that fish smell down.
I always looked forward to having Amber prepare this meal almost every Saturday morning after a jam-packed evening of reckless television watching. The fresh chives and nutty Fontina cheese work together to give standard eggs a hint of elegance.
My parents used to make this in hamburger sized patties with peas on the side. A great combination by the way, but I always thought it would be a bit better with a sauce to dip the patties in.
Chicken breasts smothered in a spicy cinnamon and almond sauce is a great change up for an ordinary meal. For those of you who are not heat freaks, you can control the level of spiciness by using less cayenne pepper.
Straight from California, this appetizer is one of the coolest recipes Amber taught me. I didn’t even know I liked artichokes before this. You peel the leaves off and scrape the meat off with your teeth.
You can’t have a Cinco de Mayo party without this traditional corn chip dip on your table. I believe the law says you must have a margarita in your hand while dipping as well.
