Julia Child would have been 100 years old August 15th. I have always been a huge fan of Julia’s. I have many of her cookbooks and never tire of reading them. Unlike Julie in the movie “Julie and Julia” I have not cooked through “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” cover to cover, but I…
I actually did not want to ask anything, I just wanted to say thank you for a recipe I just spent over an hour looking for! I have used Joan Nathan’s Stuffed Cabbage recipe for years and years. I was planning to make it today and for some reason could not find it in any of my recipe sources that I keep. Thank you so so much for having this posted on your blog!!! You made my day!! Sincerely, Audrey Garrison, Albuq., NM

Happy Second Anniversary To Dinner at Sheila’s!
July 28th marked the completion of the second year of this blog! I had planned to mark this occasion with some sort of spectacular cake for you, but as we all know things do not always go according to plan. (Wouldn’t life be boring if they did?) Unfortunately, my plans were nipped in the bud,…
Grilled Salmon and Veggies on a Torta Roll
Here’s a great way to serve salmon…in a sandwich! It’s a super easy alternative for a light meal during these dog days of summer, which seem to have arrived early this year. It’s also a healthy meal. The salmon teams up with grilled fresh vegetables which have marinated in a vinaigrette before being placed on…
Fish and Chips
For the first time in weeks our temperature was in the 80’s yesterday. It is amazing how cool 88 degrees can seem after coming down from a run of 100 degree days! So cool in fact that I felt perfectly comfortable frying up some cod fillets I had in the fridge and turning them into…
Triple Berry Summer Buttermilk Bundt
The bundt cake above is the perfect vehicle for the summer berries in abundance now at the farmer’s markets, produce stands and local groceries. In celebrating the bounty of summer in the menu I served last week (or in the case of the gazpacho, almost served), this was the dessert that made the cut. The …

Grilled Shrimp Rolls
The Grilled Shrimp Roll pictured above was the entree for the summer dinner I served last week to friends. I combined what I considered the best parts of several recipes. The shrimp were marinated in olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, and garlic before grilling on skewers. I then tossed them with a tarragon-caper mayonnaise and…
Creamy Gazpacho Andaluz
Last week with our temperatures soaring into the 100’s I was trying to come up with a light, refreshing menu to serve friends who were coming for dinner. I wanted a menu for the most part which could be prepared ahead, and would require very little, if any, indoor cooking. In looking through several magazines…
