Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Onions and Apples
Crispy Brussel sprouts with a touch of sweetness! Yum! Of course, anything with Brussel sprouts and I’m all in. It’s apple season…yah! They’re everywhere and there are more varieties than ever before. I used Pink Lady because that’s what I had on hand but that is certainly not a must. However, I would recommend an apple variety […]

Shaved Brusssel Sprout Salad with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette
What says summer better than a light and fresh lemon vinaigrette salad? One with blueberries it…YUM!! The vinaigrette is easy to prepare ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to put your salad together. Just pour over the top and toss. This would also be delicious with dried cranberries in place of the blueberries […]
Mexican Quinoa with Roasted Vegetables
Let me begin by saying, zucchini and carrots are not typically “Mexican-style” veggies, but they taste delicious in this dish! In other words, there are no rules. Add whatever floats your boat. Zucchini is abundant this time of year, so why not? I had a ton of carrots in my fridge, so why not? You get […]

Here’s a quick and easy side dish that can be put together in no time. This cabbage slaw recipe is not your “typical” cole slaw. It has that touch of sweetness from the apples which adds extra crunch and freshness! My husband, who is not a big cole slaw fan, loved this. Also, as a little side note, the […]
Chicken Cauliflower Curry Soup
I can honestly say that this soup is ranked up there as one of my favorites. I happen to adore the flavor of curries but there are those people (like my husband) who are not big fans. Let me follow that with…he inhaled two bowls! Besides, it’s always good to be open-minded about trying new foods so […]
Smoked Oysters with Olives and Tomatoes
If you’ve never tried smoked oysters, I highly recommend them! They are inexpensive and a great source of protein, healthy fats and iron. I always have these on hand and will often toss them on a salad or serve them with a veggie and cheese platter. Not an olive fan, try replacing them with chopped celery […]
Crunchy Celery and Apple Salad
I admit I’ve never been a real big celery fan. It always seems stringy and flavorless to me unless you pile it with dip or almond butter (and that can get dangerous very quickly). So lately I have been trying to embrace celery and I guess you could say, give it a second chance! This […]
