Retired telecom engineer and communications geek. Have taken an interest in cooking over the past 12 years. Early on I was a photojournalist so I enjoy taking pictures of food I've prepared. I also enjoy traveling to regional cooking schools and taking classes about local specialties. Since I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes I'm learning to cook dishes that are diabetic-friendly. I test them on myself so I know they're probably OK.

Turkey MeatloafBaking instructions were unclear. I have edited to clarify the issue.

Spaghetti Squash With Garlic And OilAs suggested by several reviewers, I have reduced the amount of olive oil to 1/4 cup. The flavored oil is used as a dressing and one could certainly reduce the amount used to dress the final dish. Any leftover dressing can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator and used on another dish or as a salad dressing.

Easy Potato PancakesTghis is a method rather than a recipe. But the results are excellent.

Salvadoran PupusasI have to admit I goofed on this one. The recipe is NOT authentic. It is just the ravings of Un Gringo Loco. A friend's Savadoran nanny has invited me to spend time in the kitchen with her learning the correct method. I will post a correct version right after I get through learning from Julia. Lo siento amigos, Perdóname.

Bananas Foster-New OrleansI made this for our grandchildren ages 5 & 8. Big eyes and, "Grandpa, that is awsome!" they wanted me to do it again the next night. I was happy to oblige. I did it on the stove rather than at the table. Mom and Grandma both insisted on that. It works just as well there.

Ham Quiche Biscuit CupsI've found that a package of 8 flakey biscuits divides into 16 muffin tin slots (1/2 a biscuit per cup) so I'm updating the recipe to show 16 units total yield.

Texas CaviarGood catch "naboozer"! You are indeed correct. The three "forgotten" ingredients are added to the mixture just before pouring the pickling liquid over the whole works. I updated the recipe instructions to clarify this info.

Low-Carb Breaded Fish7-grain cereal is a blend of helthy grains. I find it in the bulk section at Whole Foods. It's great for adding to bread, pancakes, or any number of other recipes. I have recently seen 15-grain cereal as well, but any coarsely ground grain blend will work fine for this recipe.

Bouillabaisse Impromptu (Seafood Soup)The nutritional content of this dish can vary according to the ingredients selected. The recipe is a general guideline and the cook may select slightly different ingredients based on availability. This is the essence of "Musgovian Cuisine", you look in the refrigerator and decide what leftover ingredients are there that, "Must Go".

Fried Dill PicklesFried pickles seem to be a "Southern" thing. I'm glad I moved to the south.

Sheryl's Gallo Pinto A.k.a. Costa Rican Rice and BeansI remember this dish from a trip to Costa Rica a few years ago. It's easy to make, inexpensive, and quite satisfying.

Cajun Style GumboYou can change out the chicken and sausage for duck and/or seafood. Gumbo is sort of a, "put what you've got in the pot" dish. I often accompany this with my "Lite Rice" or Cajun style dirty rice. [I posted this recipe.]

Shrimp Pasta SaladI presented this in hollowed out tomatoes for a light summer meal. You can substitute tuna for the pasta if desired.

Tuna/pasta SaladI used "Wacky Mac" pasta with its varied colors and shapes to make it appealing to kids. Then I hollowed out some tomatoes and filled them with the salad.
