Spicy Tomato Garlic Mussels
The hubby loves all things seafood. So for his Valentine’s Day gift this year I decided to make him a delicious meal of mussels. I don’t have a lot of experience with them so I tested the recipe a few times before perfecting it enough to serve. From the research I did, mussels are complete…
Ropa Vieja con Pollo
Growing up in Florida, I had so many friends who were Cuban. I ate A LOT of Cuban food made by loving Abuelas. Foods like, Arroz con pollo, platinos, black beans and rice, and Ropa Vieja. I am so in love with Cuban food and culture. When Mario Specialty Foods asked us to help them…
Spicy Chicken Wings and Blue Cheese Sauce
Yum I love January. Yes, I said it. Even though we have snow on the ground and its freezing outside, I love it. But, my love is not for the weather, it’s because there is so much football. Yes yes, I know the football season starts in September and I have 4 months of it,…
Red Lentil Coconut Curry
Today I decided to try my hand at a simple curry. I don’t know about you but I am a curry addict. I like all kinds. Spicy. Sweet. Mild. Red. Green. You name it I will eat it. However, most of my favorite curries usually involve coconut milk. it adds such a delightfully creamy texture to the dish while providing a depth of flavor and sweetness that is to die for. Today I decided to indulge my love of coconut curries and make a wonderful mild red lentil curry. I threw in some fresh local kale and organic sweet onions…and I must admit it was delicious! Exactly what I needed to cheer me up on this cold dreary day.

Butternut Squash Pasta
Today I am snowed in. I am in Connecticut. It is cold out. Who decides to move to CT in the winter. This person. Not my brightest idea…. However, I will say…I love snow. It is so pretty. And I work from home, so it’s not like I actually have a leg to stand on when I complain. I have it pretty good. While all the other people (I am sorry guys) have to go out, dig out their cars, drive on the icy roads, and trudge through the snow…I get to sit inside, under my blanket, drink my coffee, and talk to you nice people. But still…I stand by my earlier statement…It’s cold out. I don’t know about you, but when I am cold I want pasta

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa
I’m a huge fan of nutty grainy flavor so I was excited to experiment with quinoa. I thought the flavor of the quinoa would go well with some chili kinds of flavors, and I was right. This dish is delicious. Its one of the first recipes I got right the first time! I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I did.
