While I try to create most of my recipes, sometimes I come across a recipe that just needs to be shared. This particular recipe is from Half Baked Harvest. The sweetness of the honey whipped feta is absolutely delicious with the salty, roasted olives. The only edits I made are I removed the black pepper…

Tomato Poached Halibut
I find this meal to be great for Date Night. To start, the prep & clean up are easy and it does not require you to be working in the kitchen for hours. Most of the items are pantry stable as well. Less time does not mean less flavor though! The sweetness of the roasted…
Tuscan Soffritto Capellini
This pasta will transport you to the rustic hillsides of Tuscany with it’s earthy yet lite vegetable sauce. Complex with many layers of flavors, the earthy base of the sauce is contrasted perfectly with the salty toppings.

Sunday Brunch & Bloody Mary’s go together like PB&J. Some Bloody Mary’s though can lack a depth of flavor and leave you feeling like you’re sipping on chilled condensed tomato soup. The key is starting with a high quality tomato juice, preferably organic with no corn syrup. Pickle juice adds a layer of saltiness and…
