Healthy Fall Snack
Creamy, smooth and full of flavor, this hummus is a perfect healthy snack and picture-perfect for your Halloween party!
Low Calorie Yet Oh So Yummy!
I spent many years in Providence, RI and regularly visited a local, authentic Vietnamese restaurant where I always ordered Nime Chow -- Fresh Spring rolls, or Summer Rolls (among other things). Not the fried ones but the light, delicate ones that are filled with fresh shrimp and crisp veggies.
I Love Slaw
You’ll see a number of different slaw recipes on this site just because I love slaws. Not just the ones dressed with mayonnaise, but ones with an oil and vinegar dressing, some that are sweet or spicy, and others that are tangy or mild.
A Fall Football Game Favorite
No, I’m not a southern chef, and I don’t have a smoker, but I do love pulled pork, so here is my indoor, slow-cooker northerner’s version!
The Best Polenta Appetizers
Crispy polenta rounds are a delicious, gluten-free base for appetizers. I love searing pieces in a pan with a little oil and have even crisped them up in an air-fryer – so very yummy and healthy.
Mise-en-place …… say whhaatt??
This quick stir-fry recipe is healthy and flavorful with some heat, sweet, and crunch. It is a great way to use up lots of veggies, but mise-en-place is essential for the success of this dish.
Summer Tini’s
These cocktails are super fun to make, and absolutely terrific tasting. Prefer to go non-alcoholic? Just substitute the alcohol in these recipes with some club soda.
Soaking up Summer Flavors
Summer is fleeting – before it ends, I wanted to indulge in the ultimate summer dessert – grilled lemon cake with grilled peaches.
Spa Salad – Made Vegan or Not!
My take on a Trinidadian Chow utilizes the fresh and juicy sweetness of pineapples, crisp cucumbers and tender shrimp. Served cold it makes me feel like I am lunching at a high-end spa!
Savory Dip & Condiment
Raita is a type of dip or condiment that is kind of, sort of, somewhat like Tzatziki. Well, not really!!
