J's birthday dinner this year, based on this recipe . Fish: 1 pound flaky white fish fillets, such as haddock, halibut or cod 1 lime, zested and juiced 2 cloves garlic, smashed 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil sprinkle of cumin Kosher salt   Slaw: 1 bag broccoli slaw (recipe calls for 1/2 head savoy cabbage, shredded) 3 scallions, sliced thinly on the bias 1 jalapeno, minced, optional 1/4 to 1/2 cup rice vinegar (recipe calls for white) 2 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup canola oil Kosher salt   8 flour tortillas   Fish: Cut the fish into strips. Combine the fish with the lime zest and juice, garlic, oil, cumin and salt, to taste, in a medium bowl. This can be done a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. Slaw: In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and oil. Add to the broccoli, scallions and jalapeno and toss until well dressed. Season with salt, to taste. If using within a couple of hours, let it sit at room temperature

I made this up! 3 ripe peaches, halved and pits removed some maple syrup some butter or Earth Balance some cinnamon/clove/nutmeg mixture, or any one of the above Preheat oven to 350. Put the peaches, cut side up, in a glass baking dish or on a cookie sheet or whatever. Put a sliver of butter in each hold, drizzle maple syrup on top, and sprinkle the spices over everything. Bake for 45 minutes or until everything is melted and hot. Serve right away with ice cream or without.

This is soooo cheating and also so good. 3 tbsp butter (or Earth Balance), melted 3 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 garlic clove, pressed 1 cup 2% milk 2 1/2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup) Combine butter and flour in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add pressed garlic and milk to butter mixture; whisk well. Microwave, covered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 60 seconds. Add cheese; whisk until smooth.
