Caprese French Omelet Treat yourself and your family this week by purchasing a bunch of fresh basil. The sweet herbal fragrance of a basil leaf will take you on a journey to the summer garden and refresh your senses. My Caprese French Omelet has all the flavors of a Caprese Salad with the addition of…
Asian Grilled Tuna Salad It’s around January, like everyone else it seems, that my husband and I turn to our “skinny meals”. It’s funny because I love everything about these meals, we just cut out the bread, potatoes, desserts (ugh), and snacks of any kind. We cook fish, seafood, chicken, turkey, pork and once in…
Twice Baked Potatoes with Broccoli Yumm!! I love twice baked potatoes…absolutely. Today I made them with steamed broccoli and although I never thought it possible, it made them even better. Cheesy and creamy yet chunky and full of texture and flavor from the broccoli. And don’t forget the bacon…it adds that smokey saltiness that only…
Chocolate Financiers It’s New Years Eve and a special dessert is in order for my hubby and me…Chocolate Financiers. We spend New Years Eve at home avoiding the hustle and crowds much preferring a candle light dinner of crab legs and wine while listening to Chris Botti and snuggling by the fire. We don’t always…
Bouillabaisse I made this bouillabaisse with a good friend in mind as she loves all things seafood. She was the first to introduce me to sea scallops, her favorite, and although I enjoyed them, they weren’t my favorite as I wasn’t sure of the texture. Then I tried bay scallops…little pillows of heaven! They are…
Chickpea Salad With the Christmas celebrations of 2010 behind us and the New Year celebrations ahead, I’m spending this week eating lighter than usual and enjoying every bite. My Chickpea Salad was easy to make, easy to pack for lunch at work, and deliciously healthy with bright fresh flavors. The avocado stays firm and…

So at the prompting of my daughter, gluten free peanut butter blossom’s filled our home this weekend. A few notes: I always use parchment paper for…
Mini Halibut Cakes and a Party of Appetizers With holiday parties filling the calendar, appetizers are a requested bring-along. This past weekend I made my signature Halibut Cakes for a party, only I made them “mini” to serve as an appetizer. I tried to spare my friends a ‘photo-shoot’ during the party so I snapped…
Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Lime Salsa The many recipes for flourless chocolate cake gave me inspiration to add my own spin to the classic. This cake is known for it’s rich chocolate density, and I wanted to add yet another layer of decadence. Not only did it have to taste amazing, it had to…
Chicken Tortilla Soup One of my many passions for cooking is creating a delicious bowl of soup. There’s wisdom behind the best selling group of books titled “soup for the soul” as there’s genuine comfort in a homemade bowl of soup. For me, I get just as much comfort in making the soup that satisfies…
Banana Cream Pie This was my first time making a banana cream pie from scratch. There are so many positive things about living a gluten free diet, and one of them is knowing everything you put into your body is natural and healthy. You learn to appreciate ‘real’ foods again. Even if one of the…
