Chicken Armadillo Eggs
I don’t know where these things got their name – perhaps they look like an armadillo’s egg? I promise you, there is no actual armadillo in this recipe. I had to make that caveat 😂 What we actually have is delicious chicken breast stuffed with jalapeño & cheese and wrapped in bacon. I’m excited to…

At this time of year, I have an over abundance of Basil and pesto is delicious and a great way to use up that basil. You can do this recipe with spaghetti squash as I did or you can use actual pasta. I’ve been watching those carbohydrates and calories, so I decided to try this…

BBQ Shrimp

Sesame Seed Crusted Ahi Tuna and Orange Ginger Kale Salad
I didn’t discover Ahi Tuna until I was in my 30’s – It was one of those “where have you been all my life?” Moments. Another great thing about Ahi Tuna is that it’s quick! You just sear it enough to slightly cook each side. The center should definitely be pink for you to really…

Deconstructed Cabbage Roll
I have the most beautiful cabbage this year in my garden. I don’t know if it’s because of the cooler spring we’ve had or the fact that I really kinda left it alone after my fall tomatoes died – 😂 whatever the reason, I needed to use it for something amazing. My husband detests cabbage…

Pan Seared Scallops
This isn’t really so much a recipe as it is a technique blog post. If any of you have ever watched Chef Gordon Ramsay, you know you had better not either overcook the scallops or undercook or under season the scallops. It’s so easy to overcook them. 30 seconds too long and you have a…
