Tuna Crustless Quiche - Bouchons au Thon

July 25, 2012 by Monica in Dinner, Main Courses, Quick Meal, Seafood

Besides cooking the next thing that I love to do is read. When I was younger, I would have my nose in a book pretty much every chance that I could get, which was pretty much every hour that I was not asleep. I was a huge sponge and read everything I could get my hands on. The library became my favorite place, where I would spend hours looking for books to run home so I could open them and instantly be transported, without having to leave my chair to far away places, where I would meet people from all walks of life an, experience things that would be impossible to experience in real life.

Dilemma – what to cook for dinner fast?

Answer – Fish!

Its, fast, and pretty much any flavor will do. This is a quick recipe, one that I put together by simply opening my refrigerator and taking out what ever I had in hand.

Salmon en Croute with Prosciutto and Pea Puree

March 12, 2012 by Monica in Cooking Club, Dinner, Entertaining, Gutsy Cooks Club

I get so happy when I try something totally out of the ordinary, new to me and out of the box and it works.

Actually it not only just works – but, it exceeds all of my expectations.

Then there is totally a happy dance in my kitchen (and my tummy!)

Case in point – this week’s choice for our Gutsy Cooks club.

I could have gone totally safe with the Creamy Pot Roast Chicken – no brainer. Or totally walk the yeast path again with the Brown Mushroom Tortano – I wasn’t feeling the mushroom elements. But, I have always wanted to try making Salmon wrapped in something, and puff pastry seemed to be the best wrapping vessel – so it was going to be the Salmon en Croute all along –another one off the bucket list!

Easy, peasy.
