I'm Lynnie Kaufman, and I am
obsessed about food! I'm here to 'Share the Joy' of cooking. I've been working
for years on making cooking fun and
easy to learn.

Being a retired culinary instructor & retired dietitian, I have plenty of adventures with food.

‘SO FIN-TASTIC! ‘… Teriyaki Grilled Salmon with Rice & Zucchini!
After a day of digging in the dirt… We deserved a delicious dinner! Super easy too! I LOVE salmon…You too? Grilled to perfection… 😋
Super easy meal… ready in minutes! So delicious!!
Here’s what I did … It’s a SAVER!
• Seasoned two salmon fillets with garlic & onion powder, drizzle of teriyaki sauce & a couple grinds of fresh pepper.
• For rice… Combined 1 cup jasmine rice with 2 cups water & a tsp of salt. Brought to a simmer, reduced heat & cooked for 12 minutes. Let rest for another 10 minutes… Fluff!
• To grill salmon… Placed in hot 600 F grill on a grill pad for 5 minutes, top side down. Reduced heat a bit…Flipped & grilled for another 5 minutes to tender perfection … Grill a few minutes longer for a more well done fillet.
• Meanwhile… Roasted zucchini & onions in a hot 400 F oven for 15 minutes … Can steam too …Crunchy results…
• Plate your meal… Drizzle salmon with a little extra teriyaki… ENJOY!!

I LOVE SOUP… Especially Tomato Soup! This pot is Amazing! Tomato Basil base stuffed with veggies & baby pasta… WHO Agrees?? 🍅🤪😋🥰
Started out making a big pot of Tomato Basil Soup… Decided it needed a few extras. Chopped zucchini, sliced carrots & spinach… along with the traditional soup starters onions, garlic & celery.
Here’s what I did … Followed my recipe for Simple Tomato Basil Soup by sautéing onions, garlic & celery in olive oil. Added tomatoes, chicken broth & tomato juice… Added a few handfuls of frozen basil…Blended all with my hand emulsion blender until smooth. Seasoned with salt, pepper & Parmesan cheese to taste along with 1/2 cup 1/2 & 1/2 …
Then added 1 small diced zucchini, 3 sliced carrots & 2 cups dry ditalini pasta. Simmered until veggies were tender crisp & pasta al dente… Added 2 cups chopped spinach… Simmered for a few minutes & seasoned with a little Italian seasoning… Thick & rich…SO GOOD!
