This fish chowder recipe is one of the best chowders I've had; my kids love it too! The fishermen of Bodega Bay, California, shared this favorite, quick, and easy recipe with my sister during a fish festival. We top the chowder with bacon bits and a few shakes of hot sauce for a little spice. Enjoy!

Parchment-Cooked Fish with Morels, Spring Garlic, and Thyme
A rather simple recipe that tastes like it took all day. Use Pacific halibut, striped bass, tilapia, or other sustainable white-fleshed fish.
Rugelach
These delicious rugelach are made from scratch with a buttery pastry recipe and the classic walnut, cinnamon, and raisin filling. You can use chocolate or your favorite jam as a filling, if you prefer. I have many rugelach recipes, but this is truly the best I have ever made!
Tomato Gorgonzola Soup
This is a very forgiving recipe. Don't worry if you have to modify the amounts or substitute a little. Try it with fresh tomatoes and basil in the summer! Serve in bowls or scoop out 8 inch round loaves of bread to make bread bowls.
