Greetings, I hope this note finds you safe and healthy, and taking care to keep yourself that way. I am utilizing grocery delivery and curbside pickup, not venturing out otherwise unless absolutely necessary, and I hope you're doing the same.

Many thanks to those who took time to write last week; I've not had a chance to get back to all of you, but I enjoyed reading about how you're passing time during this corona virus crisis. It helped ME pass the time!

For dinner last night, I slow-roasted a whole chicken over a bed of fingerling potatoes, onion, garlic, and cherry tomatoes, with rosemary and garlic for seasoning. Earlier in the week I made the white beans with Italian sausage linked below; we've been enjoying that dish for years. Over the weekend, a shrimp and broccoli stir fry-- simple and tasty. I have a grocery delivery scheduled for Friday, so will hopefully have some inspiration for some fun cooking over the weekend.

 

Below, you'll find a few more recipes to try this week--cook something tasty!

White Beans with Italian Sausage

Canned beans make this easy, but if you have dried beans and the time, cook up half a pound and use those instead. Season the cooking liquid with rosemary, cracked pepper, salt, and a couple of bay leaves... Add a little stock to the final recipe to make it more like a hearty soup, or make it thick and spread it on toasted bread. It's delicious.

Baked Stuffed Fish

This recipe calls for a whole catfish, but feel free to substitute any kind of fish-- and if you don't have a whole fish, use fish fillets; simmer them in the tomato sauce, and add a dollop of the seafood stuffing on top. The stuffing works for stuffing peppers, too.

Smoked Pork Paella

This one first appeared in the magazine a few years ago; sub in chicken for pork, or use a mixture of whatever you have on hand. The smoked paprika and cumin are essential to the dish.
