New Year’s Day 2013. And what did we have for dinner? Seared Scallops over Citrusy Greens for starters. A new year’s day treat with very little guilt. I’ve been thinking about the citrusy dressing I would make for this dish for a few days now....

I know, I am just a bit obsessed. Don’t think I don’t realize that slow cooking is all I have been posting about. You are probably thinking that I need to step away from the slow cooker. But if you are going to make anything on this last day of 2012 (or...

I will be the first to admit that it is big challenge to find those recipes that satisfy both the adult and child palette. This Roasted Pork Tenderloin is a five-star winner in the family dinner category, which is very important this time of year when family...

I think one could put toasted almonds on anything and I would eat it. This mixed greens with goat cheese and toasted almonds is no exception. The combination of the toasted almonds, goat cheese, red peppers and cucumbers held together by some fresh greens and...

So one of my new year’s resolutions is most certainly going to be to post one gluten-free recipe per month on weekend table. I am starting a little early with this recipe for Lemon Sole with Almond Flour. Not only is this recipe gluten-free, it is marvelously...
