Okay, let me start by saying, I’m not ready for Fall yet. Okay, that’s a lie, on Sunday, we had a roast turkey breast for dinner and it felt like a sort of Thanksgiving dinner. I’m not…
Triple Berry Salad with Halloumi
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to attend a trip sponsored by Dole Food Company. I learned a lot about their fresh fruit and vegetables operations and came away with a greater appreciation for the people who…
Feta and Kalamata Olive Tortellini Pasta Salad
My husband, Curtis, is a picky eater. There are things that Curtis refuses to try, like tofu. I can’t convince him to try it for the life of me. I always joke and say when I’m looking…
Garlic and Olive Oil Sauteed Green Beans

Guacamole with Fried Tortilla Chips and a wonderful surprise!
Next weekend, I’m turning 30. As can be expected, I’m not too excited about this milestone birthday. It’s so different from turning 20. I know everyone else older than 40 reading this is rolling their eyes. I…
Fried Zucchini

Penne Pasta with Spicy Tomato Sauce
I’m posting a vegetarian recipe for my sister, Cathy, who requested that I post more of them. I received a Williams-Sonoma Classic Pasta at Home cookbook from my mother-in-law as a gift at least 8 or 9…
Fried Donuts (so easy!)
