Classic Guacamole

People are particular about their guacamole, I tell you!  They have o-pin-ions.  Put yourself out there with a guac recipe and prepare to get into a throwdown.  It’s almost as bad as talking about politics.  So before I give you my guacamole recipe, can we come together as one and just agree that guacamole is awesome?  And that maybe, just maybe, there is no single way to make it?  With that said, I stand behind this guac 100%.  It’s seriously amazing, refreshingly simple and just what you need for your Taco Tuesday. read more

Slow Roasted Halibut with Chermoula

This time of year, when it comes to food, I often want some element of freshness to counterbalance the heavier foods of winter.  Enter citrus!  Citrus is your friend.  This salad is incredibly refreshing, not to mention beautiful.  I am a sucker for color and these colors are pretty freaking fab.  Take a peak at this closeup…  read more
