I love it when my local grocery stores starts to stock something new, especially in the meat department!! A few weeks ago, I walked into the store and my eye was automatically drawn to the smallish packages of oxtails. I have started seeing oxtails more and more on restaurants’ menus but I had yet to…

Red Pepper Pesto with Roasted Cauliflower and Rigatoni
I love the vibrant colors that spring brings and although spring has not yet sprung this red pepper pesto will definitely be a pop of color to the dreariness of winter. I am always looking for new ways to make pesto because it is such a versatile sauce and can add bold flavors in very…
Rosemary Skirt Steak and Cannelloni Bean Salad with Arugula Micro-Greens
Going with the theme of getting away from unhealthy carbs and finding new pasta free recipes, I decided to take on a hot and cold dish. The hot steak and warm cannelloni bean salad topped with the cold arugula micro-greens and shaved Parmesan cheese gives a nice balance of hot and cold. This is an…
Tandoori Chicken with Roasted Cauliflower
Tandoori chicken is one of my most favorite dishes!! It is incredibly versatile and can be used with a variety of dishes. The spices are incredibly fragrant and warming and soak into the meat in a wonderful way. I do not make a traditional tandoori chicken because I use boneless chicken instead of bone-in chicken,…

French Onion Soup with Gnocchi
Today the temperature has dipped down to a balmy 15 degrees. We have the water dripping in the faucets so that the pipes won’t burst and I have my heated blanket on high…it is still definitely winter! When the weather is so cold outside that I cannot even think about leaving the house, I know…
Fettuccine with Champagne and Lobster Cream Sauce
Sometimes you just want something super fancy and extra decadent…Champagne and lobster will help you achieve that!! I don’t normally cook like this, I try and keep things simple and easy to make, but every once and a while I want to try something that is challenging. For me, lobster is both a challenge…
