Smoked Chicken Thighs with Quinoa & Baby Spinach SaladThis a nice main dish salad. I smoked the chicken with apple wood then finished it on the grill with the glaze.

The quinoa can be eaten hot, cold or at room temperature depending on your… |

Tomato Onion SaladTry this refreshing tomato onion salad. It's perfect during the summer months. It's also very healthy and light unlike other salads with heavier dressings. The dressing is a basic olive oil and lemon mix. To add some kick, add chopped jalapenos! |

Basic Artichoke RecipeThis basic artichoke recipe is the perfect side dish as it complements almost any main course. It's flagrant and delicious. I used to shy away from artichokes because I did not know how to prepare them. Once I learned, I realized it was not so difficult and had missed out on such a great veggie! Hope you enjoy the recipe. |
