Brie with sun dried tomatoes and garlic

Goes great as a first nibbler for about 4 people. It is savory, not sweet.

Roasted Pepper, Pancetta, and Pesto Pizzas

Magnificent pizza, easy as anything to make and even easier to eat.

Blueberry Arugula Salad with Honey Lemon Dressing

This simple salad is sure to please any palate and is amazingly versatile. Use any type of fruit and change out the fruit and/or nuts according to the season.

Chicken Scarpariello

A delightful Italian chicken recipe, with peppadew or pepperoncini peppers. Serve with crusty bread. The name translates to "shoemaker's chicken" and the dish often includes other ingredients like onions, garlic, and sometimes potatoes.

Chicken Tortilla Casserole

A healthy chicken tortilla casserole from scratch. This easy layered casserole is loaded with cheese, veggies, and juicy chicken.

Lemon Chicken Linguine

Pasta tossed with red chilies, garlic, sliced chicken, parsley and Parmesan.
Fairly quick: about 20 minutes prep and total time 35 minutes.

Blueberry Salsa

This salsa is usually served with salmon, steelhead, chicken or turkey

Asparagus and Beet Salad

Add marinated and grilled chicken to make this a complete lunch or light dinner.

Beef Tacos

Beef tacos are fun to put together and delicious to eat. Fill the tortillas with lettuce and beef, then each person can add his or her favorite toppings.

Greek Pork Tenderloin Medallions

The herbed gravy is so good you may find yourself doubling it. Goes well with a rice pilaf or a Greek salad pita bread.
