This is one of those fantastic recipes where you put a spoonful to your lips halfway through the preparation and you smile in amazement. The combination of flavors is just that good...and very original too. I've never had anything quite like this. The fennel, onions, garlic, olives, tomato and wine all just meld together into one…

Arroz Con Leche Brulee by Colleen Mcconnell

I don’t think I realized how delicious arroz con leche was until I was in Spain last month. We had SO MUCH of it there, and I didn’t come across a single version that I didn’t like.

Vegetable Lasagna by Salad Foodie

Lasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred…

Apple Brie Appetizer Soup by Sara Gray

Well, this appetizer soup certainly surprised me! It's reminiscent of a Brie appetizer that's garnished with apples, but made into a soup appetizer - a new twist on an old theme.
