I recently held a cooking and nutrition seminar with a support group of amazing ladies who are either currently in cancer treatment or are in recovery. To say it was inspiring just doesn’t do justice. These women were warriors! I am a firm believer that what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and have…

Game Thyme!
February surprisingly is full of food! With mardi gras, fat Tuesday, super bowl, Valentine’s Day, and basketball season you are sure to be fumbling through recipes for a go-to winning dish. Superbowl is undoubtedly known for four main food categories…Pizza, Wings, Chili and Chips & Dips. With this year’s big game falling so…
Roadmap to Romance… A FoolProof Valentine’s Dinner For Two
You’ve heard the saying, the key to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but I’d like to think this is true today for all genders. We are in the 21st century, I mean a woman is running for President for crying out loud. Women love food just as much as the hungry man. I…
Tis the Season for Torta…
Tis the season…..to eat! With holiday parties, office luncheons and family gatherings you can guarantee food will be bountiful. It truly is the most wonderful time of year for fudge, cream pull candy, peanut butter rolls, bourbon balls, hams and turkeys, and for “carving the roast beast,” so says the Grinch. (Dare I mention the…
Super Bowl “Snackers” The Ultimate Party Menu!
That’s Right…it’s game time…and for me it’s never about football but always about the food. These party “snackers” will be sure to please any Niner or Ravens fan, and just might score you a touchdown this year! Enjoy! 1. Black Bean Corn Salsa & Fresh Tortilla Chips (I know this is repeat offender, but it…
Move Over Mr. Potato, the Kale Chip has Arrived!
Ok, so maybe I got carried away with the title of this blog post; however, there is a lot of truth to it. When I was a kid you never heard of Kale unless you went to someone’s BBQ and amongst the smorgasboard of fattening foods you would see a large pot of slimy greens with a…
Lemon, Horseradish, & Chive Fish Cakes with Tarragon Remoulade Sauce
I love crab cakes, but what I loathe, is paying $15-20 bucks for a 16 ounce container that will only yield about 4 cakes. Lump crab can be pretty expensive, but this fish cake alternative has all the flavor and crunch of a fresh pan seared crab cake without the expensive price tag. Using a…
Summer White Wine Steamed Mussels with Crusty Bread
Here’s the truth. We just over think dinner, therefore making it stressful, therefore making it a job, therefore taking the joy out of cooking. Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as steamed mussels in a gorgeous white wine broth served with a side of crusty bread and a block of…
A New Fresh & Healthy Twist on Chips & Salsa
Before I begin let me make perfectly clear that I LOVE chips & salsa! Whether it be my slammin sadie’s blackbean and corn salsa (check previous post under “Ultimate Tailgate Menu”) or the fresh salsa you get at the Farmer’s Market. Yum!! I think I could make a meal on chips & salsa alone…(well maybe chips, salsa, & a…
