Tangerine Salsa

I love buying and reading cookbooks.  Recently, I finally had to buckle down and get rid of those I don’t use anymore.  That’s harder for me than cleaning out my closet, but it was either that or quit buying cookbooks…not an option! With so much more room on the shelves now, it was easy for [...]

Tangerine-Ginger Salsa

I love tangerines, so when I saw this salsa on “America’s Test Kitchen“, I had a feeling it would be great over fish.  Actually, it would be great over chicken, too, but this time, I served it over roasted salmon.  Since the recipe calls for segmenting (see previous post) and draining the tangerines 15-20 minutes, [...]

Sometimes we don’t have a [...]
