Since Dick has had his Koontitis issues, he’s gone Vegetarian…and actually VEGAN. So, I’m cooking more vegetarian dishes these days. The kids and I still eat meat, [...]

Crispy Flounder with Persian Rice & Butternut Squash.
So here’s the finale of the dinner I made the other day. I didn’t do a full post on the flounder but it’s quite easy. Just take your flounder and coat the outside with flour, turmeric, salt & pepper. Cook it in oil until cripsy on med-high. They come out beautifully golden, crispy on the [...]
Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice.
