Almond Crusted Tilapia with Orange Beurre Blanc

One of my favorite restaurants in Central PA is Devon Seafood Grill in Hershey. It is one of the few restaurants in the area that has a "big city" feel - fresh ingredients, fantastic dishes, and a great, slightly trendy (but not too trendy) atmosphere.  My hubby and ...

Cranberry Coconut Granola Bars

I may never buy a store-bought granola bar ever again. Seriously. This month's Pre-Made Our Way Challenge was to make homemade granola bars.  I enjoy the PMOW challenge each month because it's fairly relaxed - no strict rules, recipe variations allowed, etc.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy ...
