Classic Wedge Salad

Crisp, cold, and loaded with flavor, a well-constructed wedge salad complements virtually any meal – and can be the meal with the addition of a favorite protein. If I could count the number of times Jack has ordered a wedge salad at a restaurant, it would be an impressive number. Serving this salad at home…

Make-Ahead Sweet Green Smoothie

For years, I have enjoyed making smoothies.  There are many I enjoy, but I often return to my favorite smoothie which has a chocolate base and is a healthier way to satisfy my never-ending sweet tooth. Although I like my greens, NEVER did I have any inclination to put them in the blender.  Until recently.…

Sausage, Mushroom & Pasta Bake (gluten-free option)

Green Monster Smoothie

I have been off my smoothie kick for months. Maybe it was all the excesses of the holiday season, but I actually craved a green smoothie yesterday. Seriously. And this from a girl who used to cringe at the thought of blending her greens! So, in the spirit of getting back on track, perhaps at…

Spring Millet Salad

This springy salad is equally delicious served warm, chilled, or room temperature.
