Easy Baked Tilapia

Harvest Salmon Bowls

For these salmon harvest bowls, broccoli and Brussels sprouts are roasted on a sheet pan with salmon, then served in a bowl with quinoa, feta, cranberries, and pistachios, a perfect bowl of fall flavors.

Simple Turkey Chili

This turkey chili recipe is very simple but hearty with plenty of flavors — it tastes even better on the second day! I serve this chili with low-fat Cheddar cheese and low-fat sour cream. It's also delicious with crackers.

Apricot Cheesecake Bars

Another one of my dad's dee-licious dessert concoctions! An easy shortbread crust with cheesecake-like batter, topped with a tangy apricot spread. I call this recipe "bars," my dad calls it "pie," neither is really correct. But, for lack of a better description, I'll have to stick with what we've got...

Pork Sinigang

Sinigang is a Filipino soup cooked with pork. Serve with rice and for additional sauce, use soy or fish sauce. If you want to, you can add what Filipinos call gabi gabi, which is a small taro root. When peeled they look like potatoes. You can add five to six of them when you add the water and make sure they are cooked through. Take them out when they are cooked because they can get too soft.

Broiled Mochi with Nori Seaweed

These seaweed-wrapped mochi blocks dipped in soy are a delicious treat. Mochi is a sweet, short-grain, glutinous rice with a high starch content. It's commonly used to make rice cakes, and it's also used in confections and rice dishes. It can be bought in almost any Japanese grocery store.
