Lemony Brisket with Pomegranate Gremolata

Monday was Labor Day and that usually means one of two things. The kids are finally back in school and Rosh Hashana is right around the corner. I love Rosh Hashana. It means apples and honey, challah and brisket, and plenty of wine. All that delicious food… I just can’t get enough. So, since Rosh… Continue reading Lemony Brisket with Pomegranate Gremolata

Salmon with Ginger Corn Salsa

I love summer because this is the time when all the stone fruits and berries are in season. They’re just amazing, and so, so sweet, it’s like dessert right off the tree. But there isn’t just all that wonderful fruit. There’s also some awesome veggies out there like green beans, beets and my personal favorite… Continue reading Salmon with Ginger Corn Salsa

Grilled Chicken with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette

My grill is my favorite cooking appliance… next to my 40’s Western Holly oven of course. One is inside and one is outside, but both make amazing meals when used correctly. While my Western Holly is running constantly from November through May, once the weather warms up in June or July, my grill takes over… Continue reading Grilled Chicken with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette

Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Orzo Salad

The month of July means a lot of things: summer, fireworks, the pool, the beach and of course the grill. Yup, if you haven’t already, it’s time to dust off your grill and get cookin’! I just dusted off mine and I can’t wait to use it. I love that it’s finally warm enough for… Continue reading Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Orzo Salad

Pork Loin with Blood Orange Salsa

Ever found a recipe that sounds like the perfect meal but then discovered there’s one major ingredient that you’re allergic to so you can’t have it after all? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a great cookie, cocktail, or entree that looks delicious and then come to find it’s made with pineapple… Continue reading Pork Loin with Blood Orange Salsa

Lemony Chicken Thighs with Lemon Salsa Verde

I love lemons. I use them in cocktails, side dishes, salad dressings, sauces and desserts. While I use them for almost every kind of cooking, my favorite way to use lemons is in desserts or sauces. That lemon adds a bright, tart flavor to whatever I’m making. And although I’ll use whatever lemon I can… Continue reading Lemony Chicken Thighs with Lemon Salsa Verde

Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Oranges

We’re right in the middle of citrus season. This is one of my favorite times of year. Sure, I love the spring and summer when there’s an abundance of berries and stone fruits, but when those sweet berries and peaches aren’t available, oranges and lemons are a wonderful alternative. While citrus aren’t as sweet as… Continue reading Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Oranges

Chicken with Avocado Pomegranate Salsa

Monday through Friday, I’m pretty busy. I have to get the kids to school, attend various food events, get my kids to their after-school activities and get dinner on the table by six. So, when I’m that busy I look for a dinner that’s not only a cinch to throw together but is delicious, too.… Continue reading Chicken with Avocado Pomegranate Salsa

Asian Short Ribs in the Slow Cooker

The holidays mean plenty of chocolate, heavy cream and rich foods. Between the family dinners and holiday parties there’s just no escaping those decadent desserts, sparkling cocktails and rich entreés. But then we flip the page on another year and suddenly it’s all about health. The chocolate goes back up on the shelf, those huge… Continue reading Asian Short Ribs in the Slow Cooker

Paprika Pork Chops and Hearts of Palm Salad

One of the benefits of being a food blogger is that sometimes companies send me products with which to create recipes. Sometimes the products are good and sometimes they’re not so good. When the products aren’t good, I thank the company and move on. But when they are good, I can’t wait to create a… Continue reading Paprika Pork Chops and Hearts of Palm Salad
