  • Sauteed Sea Scallops with Strawberry and Celery Salsa

    Sauteed Sea Scallops with Strawberry and Celery Salsa

    Sauteed Sea Scallops with Strawberry Salsa Sea scallops are a wonderfully decadent treat, especially when crisped up in some butter and olive oil.  I love ordering scallops at restaurants on a special occasion, but there’s really no reason to limit them to a restaurant experience; you can make them at home just as well and […]

  • Chocolate Oat Muffins

    Chocolate Oat Muffins

    Chocolate Oat Muffins How about a weekend treat with these Chocolate Oat Muffins for breakfast?  They’re verrry chocolatey!  But, not too sweet – chocolate cake this is not.  Rather these muffins are a little more dense, tangy, and filling.  What I love most about these muffins is that they’re a treat, but a treat that […]

  • Warm Lentil Salad with Kale and Portobello Mushrooms

    Warm Lentil Salad with Kale and Portobello Mushrooms

    Lentil Salad with Kale and Mushrooms This lentil salad right here is a bowl full of health.  Lentils are off the chart on a number of awesome nutrients, including molybdenum, folate, copper, phosphorus and iron.

  • Legit Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Legit Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Oatmeal goodness in a delish cookie Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that only have a sprinkling of oats are super lame.  Not like these awesome cookies, which use 100% oats and not a shake of flour.  That makes them gluten free and 100% whole grain goodness – but don’t let that detract from their cookie status.
