Great for all meats - even fish. Use as a dry rub on meats - let sit for 20 minutes or so to season your meats. Fantastic flavor that puts a ready Latin spin on a complete meal with rice or yucca and a chopped tomato salad.

Homemade Low Salt Adobo Seasoning Recipe

Ingredients
1 Tbsp salt free lemon pepper seasoning
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 Tbsp achote powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp salt ( optional or you may use less)

Mix all dried herbs and spices together. Place in air tight glass jar, shake and store in a dry place. I found this recipe in Ingrid Hoffman’s book Simply Delicioso after finding that the one in the jar was much too salty.

Lychees are such a treat, so as soon as you can, get a can or two so you’ll have them on hand to make fresh tasting, frozen desserts for the summer. My from-scratch lychee kulfi recipe is a family favorite. In the pictures here, you’ll see a small group of students at one of my recent cooking classes. We had a fantastic class and the kulfi was a refreshing dessert after all of our hard work.

Lychee Kulfi

1 14 oz. can condensed milk
1 16 oz. container of Cool Whip™ or 2 cups whipped cream (1 cup heavy cream, sweetened to taste and beaten until stiff peaks form)

Chef Robyn has given us some great information on tri tip, both grilling and slicing. And we bet you’re wondering what to do with all that lovely steak. Well, I have a few suggestions, that are quick and delicious.

First, a great Caesar salad featuring your grilled tri-tip. Just prepare your romaine, toss romaine with my caesar vinaigrette (below) and top with beef and croutons.

Caesar Vinaigrette
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 anchovy fillets, drained, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon finely minced capers
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup safflower or canola oil
cracked black pepper

Combine first five ingredients and then whisk in oils until dressing comes together. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.

Frittatas are unfolded egg omelettes with a signature puffed top, made in a large oven-proof skillet with a mix of ingredients. They are inherently a non-recipe kind of dish that begs for your creativity to be unleashed and your favorite flavors to be combined to delight your brunch guests.

I love nothing more than to roll out of bed late on a Sunday and pull everything out of the fridge while the coffee is brewing. And usually, looking at what’s available, I find just enough fresh looking items to create a “frittata” from my random items and the eggs, cheese, and herbs I always have on hand. With Mother’s Day brunch on my mind, I thought to share some tips—How To Make a Perfect Frittata.
