Super easy, this turkey and black bean taco bowl is the perfect departure from all of the Thanksgiving Holiday fanfare. My family loves Thanksgiving. We relish all of the traditional fixing, the stuffing and the mashed potatoes, the cranberries and dinner roll. Wow! Thanksgiving is a couple of weeks away and I am looking forward […]
Traditional Greek Salad Recipe
I love a good traditional Greek salad recipe. In our home, a Greek salad is meal. Loaded with delicious vegetables and a scrumptious dressing with fresh herbs it is anything but boring. Showing my age here, back in the 90s, Greek salads were on most restaurants I frequented. Now, unless it is a Greek restaurant, […]
Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style
Any time I make Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style it brings me back to sailing on a catamaran in Greece! My Sweetheart and I were so lucky to take a five hour cruise around Oia in Santorini. On the boat, the crew prepared a decadent meal and my favorite dish was the Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style. […]

It is fall, and it is the perfect time to make this mustard-glazed Chicken Thighs with Figs and Potatoes. In September, Florida is lucky enough to have a few weeks of fresh figs.

Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl MediterrAsian Style
Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl is one of the easiest meals to make. What I love about MediterrAsian Style dishes is they are healthy, fresh and delicious. Poke Bowls are a go-to of mine when eating out, but eating them at home is even better. Home cooking allows you to control the ingredients and portions. The […]
Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps
Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps is a new recipe for me. As a plant-leaning home chef, I love mushrooms and use them often. When I was a twenty-something, I would often serve button-mushrooms with a cheesy crab filling at a party I was hosting. A popular, and time-consuming, appetizer amongst my friends. Not really seeing […]
