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 […]

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 […]
