Grilled Lamb Chops Kudos to my hubby who made dinner this evening. He grilled these Lamb Chops, and if you’ve never had them, this is the perfect recipe to try. Our first experience was at the prompting of my son who bought us a Lamb Chop marinade for Christmas. We’ve been hooked ever since. This…
Greek Salad
Greek SaladI crave this salad and often bring it for lunch as it travels well and always delivers. The classic taste of tangy feta cheese and salty kalamata olives pairs well with the fresh crunch of English cucumbers and sweet-hot red onions. The store-bought dressing, Seeds of Change Greek Feta Vinaigrette, got it right with…
Broccoli Ham and Cheese Fritatta
Broccoli Ham and Cheese Fritatta Being that several members of my family are not big fans of egg bakes or quiche (both of which I love), I created my broccoli ham and cheese fritatta to be thinner than the classic. It’s so easy to make and you can vary the ingredients to taste. Try it with…
Creme Brulee
Creme Brulee When you think of Creme Brulee you think of a special occasion, right? Me too. And it is special…but once you learn how to make it, you’ll serve it for any occasion. And it gets the oooooh’s and aaaaah’s it deserves. I watched a video by the French Culinary Institute where they showed…
White Turkey Chili

Two kinds of beans and crisp vegetables surrounded by a light broth of smokey-sweet spicy goodness. It’s hearty, filling, and real comfort food for this lazy Saturday afternoon. The…
Pulled Pork Enchiladas
Pulled Pork Enchiladas The pulled pork in these enchiladas makes the dish. We made two spicy pork tenderloins the night before and planned the leftover for these enchiladas.

Thai Basil Chicken
Thai Basil Chicken I was craving one of my favorite Thai dishes from a local restaurant which I haven’t had since going gluten free. I set out to re-create the dish recalling the spicy sweet sauce coating the tender chicken slices, Jalapeno peppers, broccoli flowerets and the unique flavor of fresh basil leaves that balances…
