This is a delicious salad. Totally addictive and packed with flavor. I even got a bean-hater to eat this salad. It has bright bold flavors with lemon and za’atar, parsley and mint. Za’atar is a middle eastern spice blend that has thyme, sumac, oregano and some other delicious spices in it. It’s a bit challengingRead more
This is another great salad from the Women’s Retreat. I think this one was my favorite, because you can’t go wrong with lemon, feta and dill. The lemon really brightens up this dish and keeps the orzo from feeling slimy, which can happen with cold pasta salads. This also has great texture from the crunchyRead more
These might be the fanciest creation I’ve made. That said, they really weren’t that difficult, and are definitely show stoppers. These were the first treat to go at the March Carroll Cafe. As it’s just beginning to seem like spring is here, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of the last of the winterRead more

The lemon and spring onions add a complexity to the chicken that really elevates this from just another boring chicken dish.Read more
I made this over the 4th of July, and loved the simplicity of it. This super delicious, cheesy tart comes together quickly, takes advantage of the lovely summer tomatoes, and looks impressive enough for company. As the saying goes, it’s easy as pie. I think this would also work well as a galette…which might makeRead more
With an abundance of broccoli on hand, I was looking for something different to make than the usual steamed or roasted broccoli. This takes the super healthy benefits of broccoli and turns it into a great spread, or in this case, sauce. While this is definitely different from traditional pesto since it doesn’t include basil,Read more
Lemon poppy seed is my favorite muffin flavor. It’s been ages since I’ve had one, so I decided it was time to make a batch. These were very yummy. The glaze adds quite a bit of sweetness with a balance of tart lemon zest. The poppy seeds give a nice little crunch to the delicateRead more
