You HAVE TO TRY this recipe. I do not even like Brussels Sprouts and I devoured the E.N.T.I.R.E. pan of these delicious little morsels. Of course, anything with bacon always takes it to the next level for me, just sayin. They are a little time consuming but worth every step, let’s get started. The ingredient [...]

Bacon, Leek and Gruyere Potatoes Au Gratin
These potatoes are the most amazing potatoes I have EVER tasted. You know they are good when you dream about them all night and eat them for breakfast the next morning…cold! The textures just blend together with each other and well, bacon. Need I say more? This will be the star of any meal paired [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash, Corn and Spinach Enchiladas
Oh my gosh! These enchiladas were so dang good! I loved the velvety smoothness of the butternut squash paired with the creamy Gruyere cheese. 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 [...]
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 [...]
Delicious and Easy Roasted Carrots
Side dishes have always been somewhat of an enigma to me. I have a very limited rotation that get to accompany my meals. Sometimes I just don’t even serve one. Shh! Don’t tell anyone. So I got to thinking last night and remembered how much I love roasted ANYTHING! Plus, carrots are my all time [...]

Trio of Roasted Potatoes
You can do the Mashed Potato or you could do the twist or you can roast ‘em like this! Well, I absolutely adore roasted yams. These roasted potatoes are terrific with turkey or any other roasted meats you might serve throughout the year. Just imagine the flavors of the sweet yams, buttery yukon golds and [...]
Portobello Mushroom “Steaks” with Cranberry-Port Sauce and Gorgonzola Cheese
How many ways can you use a Portobello mushroom? There are a lot, actually. Just think of this big brown mushroom as a “steak” of sorts. However you would prepare your favorite steak, prepare the dish with a Portobello mushroom instead. I’ve noticed on a lot of other food blogs that people are doing “meatless [...]
Clean Eating/Chicken Blue-Cheese Stuffed Potatoes
These are the healthiest, yet tastiest, twice baked potatoes I’ve ever had the pleasure eating. Quite frankly, I’ve never had a twice baked potato with chicken inside of them. Of course the blue cheese just takes these guys to the next level. I’ve been getting this great little magazine for almost two years and I [...]
