For your Weekend Pleasure : Potted Salmon and Scrambled Eggs
This is one of those dishes that depending on how you spin it can be an elegant brunch dish or a way to spin leftovers into something different and delicious. Either way you start with a nice piece of salmon (or extra slices if you are planning for leftovers), bake it, flake it, make a flavorful salad type mix, pot it and serve it. Cold.
Mango No-Bake {Mexican} Cheesecake
Years ago, when I lived in the UES, I would hike a mile North every so often to stock up on fresh corn tortillas, avocados (I was not a prolific eater of it then!), mangoes, and the CHILLIES! Since I moved out, I have been .. well.. rather cheating on the cuisine, tagging every taco I made as it, every chill-chocolate rub as dry mole.
Anyway, now I have seen the light. Amongst all the amazing things I discovered in the span of a patient 30 minutes were.....
The Promise of After.....
Ah.. the absence! Coming back from it like trying to talk after a long period of silence. You don't know where to start, what to say. Words begin and then get stuck in the roof of your mouth and never quite make through with the sound.

Perhaps, I should just tell you what it is. It my magazine... NOURISHED. I just wrapped up the Spring/Summer issue and sent it to the printer. ....
Key West Inspired Snapper Fritters
A typical dish of this Floridan island is fish fritters, typically made with grouper, and, seasoned with a mix of celery seed, paprika, red pepper and salt. It reminds me of the Indian pakora and inspired by a partnership with the region, I wanted to recreate a blend of my memories and the region favorite snack! So, taking this fusion blend, I created Baked Chickpea Mackerel Fritters!
Is it Healthy?
Now, the choice between healthy and desire is a tough one. As anyone who has tried any form of change can attest to... I just needed to find a bridge.
That is when I appreciated the singular merit I see in smoothie bowls - The convenience of combining my two breakfasts into one delivery! It broke no convenience limits because I always ate the granola in a bowl and I certainly didn't bother with artistic presentation of additional fruits. This was perfect!
