This recipe comes from the May 2016 Better Homes and Gardens magazine, and it’s such an outstanding and easy dinner, I make it once a month! There are two things I changed: I do not put the lime zest in, but I do squeeze in the juice from the lime, and I do not put in the fish … Continue reading
Monkfish In Saffron Broth
If you want a dish that tastes sinful, but is healthier than a walk in the woods, this is the dish. This is a homerun. I’m not going to go on about it….just make it, and enjoy! By the way, I used a moderate Bordeaux in the dish, and drank it with the finished meal! … Continue reading

What stands out the most is the creamy coconut sauce that develops and while eating it, you … Continue reading
