Today is my first “Friday with Friends” post! Each Friday (or most), I hope to tell you about a dinner with a friend where we cooked a good healthy meal. I’ll be able to share my friends’ recipes with you and hopefully you can get some ideas for meals and entertaining.
Last week, my friend Tracy allowed me to take photos while she prepared a delicious Grilled Tuna with Rosemary using this recipe from “The Sonoma Diet Cookbook” by Dr. Connie Guttersen. The recipe calls for capers, but because I’m super special, capers taste like perfume to me. Tracy is such a good friend, she left the capers off the finished dish. She also cooked it on a George Foreman grill instead of the conventional grilling. The rest of the recipe was followed to the letter, and the herb of choice was dried rosemary, crushed. Tracy served Butternut Squash Whole Wheat Fusilli made by Archer Farms on the side and I brought some asparagus to steam.
Halfway through the prep of the meal, I thought I just had to have some coffee. Tracy’s household is currently between coffee makers, but she very graciously found me a drip cup thingy, the filters for it, and pulled out some delish organic free trade coffee. I sprinkled some cinnamon on top of the grounds and the flavor was so perfect when it was brewed up!
I like cooking with friends (harassing them with my camera and questions) and hope to have many more dinners to blog. I will happily take my show on the road and come to your kitchen! So let me know when I may stop by. ; )
This meal was delicious — thank you, Tracy! Let’s do it again sometime.
(Funny quote: I said to Tracy “Isn’t it fun hanging out with me while you cook and I photograph it all? Tracy replied, “It’s different.” LOL! See how nice she is? )
That tuna looks yummy! And Melita is the best way to make coffee! 🙂
You can stop by my house anytime….. if you are ever in the neighborhood! Hehe.
Thank you, Diana : ) I’ll remember you said that.
