Serve corn on the cob with butter, chili powder, cheese, and lime juice. I love the corn on the cob. When we go to our local farmer’s markets, it’s one of the things I look forward to. While we wait in line, we think about what toppings to put on the corn that is piping […]
ORZO SOUP WITH LEMON CHICKEN AND ORZO
A wholesome mix of vegetables and tender chicken simmered in a lemony broth. This is pure comfort in a cup! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous in the Bay Area. We have had temperatures of 70 degrees. I can now run in shorts and go for long walks wearing flip-flops. Even in perfect weather, I […]
TACO LEAVES WRAPS
A delicious, healthy, low-carb alternative to tacos! Packed with flavor and protein, this recipe is sure to please.

GARLIC BUTTER ZUCCHINI NOODLES
