Cara Cara Orange Feta Pistachio Salad
I love bright, beautiful salads. This Cara Cara Orange Feta Pistachio Salad reminds me of summer time. It has juicy and sweet Cara Cara oranges, tangy feta and sweet pistachios to light up those taste buds. Serve it alongside chicken or meaty fish, or by itself if you are meat-free. Oh, and did I mention…

All I know is spring needs to stick around, because I am not ready for a Houston summer. If spring has sprung early for you this year, my refreshing and Blackberry Blue Cheese Endive…
Boozy Berry Basil Lemonade
I helped a friend host a baby shower last week. The mother-to-be was expecting a baby boy. I had to come up with a cocktail that could also be a mocktail, and was blue (or blue-ish) in colour. Boozy Berry Basil Lemonade can be made with a berry vodka, or without. Both versions are equally…
Rustic Roasted Potato Canapés
I love potatoes. They are my downfall in any shape or form. Hashbrowns, roasted potato wedges, creamy mashed potatoes, gratins…I love it all. I consumed way to many potatoes over the holiday. We are back on the low carb bandwagon for the foreseeable future. That won’t stop me from making these two-bite Rustic Roasted Potato Canapés…
Zucchini Walnut Bread – Low Carb

Bread is something I occasionally miss while eating a low carb diet. Luckily, this Low Carb Zucchini Walnut Bread has…
