Shaved Brussels Sprout and Farro SaladThis recipe is adapted from one by Susan Spungen. I thought it was phenomenal. If you can't find Farro, you coud substitute brown rice or pearl barley, but get Farro if you can. It's wonderful. You might consider serving this as a side for Thanksgiving. It would make a great addition. |

Roman-Style SpinachThis is a great new way I've learned to cook spinach.

Shrimp & Scallops Salad in Wine Reduction SauceThis recipe is an adaptation from a local restaurant near my house called Cafe Gianni's. In fact Chef Gianni is offering cooking classes beginning in June and I plan to attend. I am so excited about that, I have never taken any cooking lessons - I am a totally self taught cook.

Simple Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms and TomatoesThis is one of those simple recipes that are almost embarrassing to put on this website. But this was really tasty and healthy, and our kids devoured it. I have everything being prepared in parallel, so the whole dish takes less than 25 minutes start to finish. If you're tight on time, this is a winner! |
