We use a two-step process to roast the veggies and then add garlic and lemon to keep the flavors all separated until just before serving. The result is a perfect tender-crisp texture … Continue reading Roasted Broccolini with Garlic and Lemon

Chicken Curry Soup
The original version of this recipe came from our friend Colleen at the gym, although where she originally found the recipe, I'm not sure.

Here, we've combined them with a northwest original - toasted hazelnuts … Continue reading Green Beans with Hazelnuts

And an easy way to add a little Provençal flare to any food - even if not … Continue reading Grilled Pork Steaks Provençal

This simple sauce is great for dipping veggies in (cauliflower, broccoli, and mushrooms especially), or as a dressing over salad like the cucumber avocado dressing from a few weeks ago. It is also a great condiment over top of the grilled chicken recipe we've got lined up for tomorrow. It will also keep for several … Continue reading Poblano Lime Sauce
Sweet Chile Cashew Chicken Salad
This recipe started out in our little black book several years ago from a potluck dish brought by a friend's mom every year to his Christmas party.
