Roasted Lemon Chicken à la Nicoise

Nicoise is a classic French preparation that usually incorporates olives. The term means ‘prepared Nice style’, coming from Nice, France. Roasting chicken this way tenderized the meat and infuses it with the fruity richness of olives

Shallot Dressing with Greens

Shallots are a sweet and mild, the perfect substitution for garlic or onions. This dressing keeps well over night in an air-tight container

Devil’s Food Cake

This cake might seem like the devil’s work, but the ingredients are angelically light! Indulge yourself with this not-so-naughty chocolate cake!

Spicy Tuna Cups

Spicy tuna is my favorite thing to order from sushi house menus. I love cooking Japanese favorites and sometimes I even make sushi at home. If you don’t know how to roll your own sushi, this version is a simple way to enjoy tuna and impress your guests with a light, spicy appetizer.

Fudge with Pecans

Every family has a favorite fudge recipe. This fudge still has that chocolately, rich smoothness but is much lower in saturated fat and a snap to make, no candy thermometer necessary.

Artichoke Dip

This is my favorite college party dip gone skinny! I bring it to the neighbors for movie night with toasted pita chips.

Salmon with Orange and Balsamic Glaze

Orange and balsamic make a sweet and sour combo that is perfect with salmon. If you have a sensitive nose but still want to enjoy the health benefits of eating fish, citrus is always a good way to cut the strong sent of salmon.

Buttermilk Biscuits

Whole wheat brings added nutrition to this southern delight! Serve these with soup for a complete meal or add them to your next brunch buffet.
