Make a Greek Salad for dinner.

This time a year the weather is warmer and a nice lean and loaded salad is a not too heavy dinner my friends!
Start the night before by marinating chicken tenders in extra olive oil, garlic, lemon and your favorite herbs.
The next day grill your chicken and makes the salad tomatoes, feta, olives, and beets and if you have it potatoes dress it up with homemade vinaigrette! It just doesn't get better than this mes amis!

Stir Fry Healthy!

Use your favorite fresh veggies and lean protein a little extra olive oil, garlic and ginger and some low sodium soya sauce and voila a simple quick and healthy dinner!

It's the Florida Strawberry season!!

You know me I love the simplicity of things! Whether it's picking local grown fruit or veggies or just whipping up a delicious dish with just a few fresh ingredients! We all know I’m a frugal gal! I buy produce when it's in season because you get the best tasting produce and you also get them at the best price! For some reason you appreciate it more so when it's mango time I make my mango salsa! When it's citrus time I make my lemon meringue pie! And it's now our strawberry season I just love it! Try it yourself buy local and in season and create the freshest dishes possible there is nothing better than that and it will leave you feeling kind of spoiled! Nothing wrong with that either mes amis!

Your tools! That's right a cook does not have a tool box but a drawer full of tools!!

My husband is a mechanic by trade initially an aircraft mechanic, then an RV mechanic and now a heavy equipment mechanic and oh boy his tool box sure has change with that being said I have only been one kind of cook can you guest? My favorite three are my lemon juicer, zester and thongs oh yea I use almost all three every day!! It's funny that the styles of cook you are dictates what tools you use the most!! I think by looking in someone's drawer you can tell what kind of cook they are ;) Oh and by the way I need a bigger kitchen I’m growing out of my tool drawer ;)

The perfect breakfast, lunch, brunch and even dinner!! The Quiche

Saute fresh vegetable in a little olive oil. Mix eggs, milk, cheeses and fresh herbs. Pour in a prepared pie shell and bake at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes and voila! Simple, healthy and delicious!

Italian Manicotti

Sometimes you just have to go Italian! What I love about Italian food is most of the recipes feed a bunch so perfect for a dinner party theme or if just two of you like me here in our household, then that means we get to freeze of it for a quick dinner later on during the week, got to love that!

BBQ-Spicy Chicken loaf

Next time you feel like eating meatloaf, switch the ground beef with ground chicken! It's leaner and super moist!
