RADISH BROWNS AND OVEN BAKED EGGS
When exploring healthy options and lower carbohydrate recipes I discovered radishes. Yes, that’s correct, radishes. I only used to use them for color in my fresh salads and a little heated bite. I’ve made radish roses for decoration on a crudite’ plate. I never thought of cooking them and using them as a potato substitute.…

RUSTIC PIZZA DOUGH (thin crust)
Who doesn’t love pizza? I personally don’t know anybody that doesn’t like it. For me it’s all about the crust. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t have quality cheese and other toppings it’s not going to cut it. However, to paint a good picture, you need a good canvas. Don’t you agree? Twice now,…

SPINACH & CARAMELIZED ONION, EGG CAKE
I am on a kick to cut carbs! Seems the older I get the harder it is to lose weight. Thankfully, when I talk to my gal pals, they all feel the same way. Sadly, some of my favorite foods are carbs. Bread, pasta, sweets…….very unfortunate for me!! So, while I may not cut them…

TARRAGON VINAIGRETTE
I adore salads in the summer. They are cool, crunchy, and easy on the waistline. Of course, it is all about the dressing for me. It can be the most beautiful salad in the world. If the dressing isn’t good, it’s just a waste of good vegies. We have a favorite French restaurant we frequent…

We were recently sent some homemade sausage from our friends in Connecticut. Their son, now an avid hunter, brings home all sorts of game. Our friends, in true Italian fashion, make their…

TACO BOWL….NOT “BELL”
We love Mexican food! Tacos, refried beans, fajitas, taquitos, are among some of the few that come to mind. I am sure you are all familiar with that famous fast food place. It ends with “bell”, not bowl. I admit, we do go there on occasion to get our fix. This is my take on…

SHRIMP SCAMPI OVER ZOODLES
I promise I won’t zoodle you to death. This one was too good not to post though. It’s like a new toy at the moment. I am truly fascinated with my new spiralizer by Kitchen Aid. I love shrimp scampi. What I don’t like about it is all the butter and oil dripping from it.…

SPIRALIZED ZUCCHINI & CARROTS WITH PAN FRIED SALMON
Well slap yo Momma, hush my mouth, and call this one a new favorite. My husband said “make sure you write this one down”. I of course am doing that right now. I just purchased the spiralizer attachment for my Kitchen Aide. Of course my friends at QVC had a special so what’s a girl…
