I find myself tending towards simple food in the summer. I’m sure you can relate.  I want something that’s simple to make and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. That’s the place where this lemon herb hummus came from.  The last few weeks have been pretty busy around here (I won’t bore you with the details),…

I don’t make fish nearly as often as I should. It’s mostly due to the fact that I’m pretty picky about what seafood I will eat… And, I’m even pickier about what seafood I will cook.

I usually stick to pretty basic recipes when it comes to fish… I’m always afraid I won’t cook it right or that it will be too fishy, so I tend to keep it simple.

Parmesan Herb Bread

My husband always raves about the bread at Italian restaurants… Not just the typical white “Italian” bread, but the herb breads that are often served with olive oil for dipping. You know what I mean, right? So, I decided to try my hand at some bread of my own.  Of course, since I was making…

Baked Seafood and Lemon Herb Pasta

You may be wondering, “What’s special about baked seafood?” and rightfully so. I like to try new ingredients when I cook, but seafood is one thing that terrifies me in the kitchen.  So, the special thing about this dish is that I managed to make a respectable seafood dish for dinner – one that both…
