Quinoa is so yummy. Paired with the roasted butternut squash and sweet currants make this dish extra special. You can serve this as a main course vegetarian meal over a bed of lettuce, or as a side dish with your roasted chicken or fish. This is how we do it…(that is a song that is stuck [...]

Coleslaw with Apples and Cranberries
Here is an easy and tasty side dish to serve at your next BBQ. I love the sweetness of the dressing and cranberries, tang of the Granny Smith apples and crunch of the cabbage. By using the pre-shredded bag of cabbage and carrot mixture, this side dish comes together quickly. Here is the shredded Granny [...]
Honey Roasted Squash Bruschetta
Not only was this quite tasty, but very elegant and beautiful. I worked at the winery this weekend and we served this with our new release of wines. I really enjoyed the flavors of the honey against the slightly sweet butternut squash. This would be a great salad to serve in the winter months. The [...]
Mushrooms and Spinach in Puff Pastry
Yumm-o-licious! This great dish can be served as a main, meatless meal, paired with a salad. OR you can cut this into about 16 squares and serve as a hearty appetizer. Every time I have ever made this everyone goes crazy for it. Once again, I used creamy Gruyere cheese, crunchy pine nuts, sauteed spinach and [...]
Spinach, Mushroom, Tomato and Cheese Strata
Here is another delicious breakfast strata. Instead of using the prosciutto and pesto, I used sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms. This is perfect for the brunch table and hearty enough to serve to your girlfriends in the evening, paired with a nice big green salad. Your vegetarian friends will love you for making it meatless. [...]

To give this enchilada a little bit more “chunk” appeal I added roasted corn, sauteed spinach and roasted yams. This dish is nothing short of spectacular and loaded with tons of [...]
Warm Pasta Salad with Roasted Vegetables

Orzo with Everything
This salad is just bursting with amazing flavors and textures. Unfortunately, I didn’t get my usual step-by-step photos in; however, this is a very straight forward recipe. Just boil, chop and toss. This is the perfect salad to feed a large group, take to a pot-luck or picnic. You can also add in chicken or [...]
Zucchini Tart with Feta and Brown Rice Crust
Oh my goodness. This just might be your new go-to recipe during the summer when zucchini is out of control and being left on your front door step by undisclosed neighbors whose gardens are bursting with the green monsters. The original recipe uses puff pastry for the crust. I thought I’d try to be a [...]
Spinach in Puff Pastry
I love all of Ina Garten’s recipes, and this one is my most favorite. This Spinach in Puff Pastry makes for a delicious appetizer or a meat-free meal paired with a salad. Really, you just can’t go wrong with this delicious recipe. What’s not to love here. I think that the hardest part of this [...]
