These pork chops were simply amazing.  Using my Cast Iron pan was perfect for our dinner.  Get it really hot to sear the chops then the oven will do the rest.  I did let the pork chops marinade for a few hours in the refrigerator seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh rosemary and thyme from my garden then olive oil.  

I made these for 3 of us!  I used the Center Cut Pork Chop Loin but you can use any cut for this recipe.

Before I begin let me just say for the record. Bone Suckin' Sauce reached out to me and asked if I would test out their products.  We said sure since we love to BBQ on our Big Green Egg.  We have made a few different recipes using their products and we just LOVE their products.  

These ribs are amazing.  Go ahead and get some of their sauce and make some ribs!

Cindy's important tip! Be sure to zest the lemon first then squeeze for the fresh juice!

This is the perfect romantic dinner for two!  You can use this same recipe with chicken but the Cornish game hen makes a great dish and it looks adorable.

This is another way I share my love for Cauliflower and Italian together!  This is delicious!  Go ahead and give it a try.  Enjoy xo Cindy

As I have been surprisingly on several cauliflower recipes a taco was inspired while walking through the farmers market and watching everyone eating various tacos!  This was experimenting yummy!!!!

We have been on the go for all of December and tonight I felt like a comfort salmon dish.  I am starting HEWfit in a few weeks and decided salmon and pasta was a perfect dinner for us.  As an Italian pasta was always a frequent visitor but over the past several years it makes a rare appearance.  When we do eat pasta it's a small amount.  Tonight the salmon will be the star but it will be yummy for us to enjoy!  

Go ahead and give this recipe a try!  I bet it would also be great with spaghetti squash too.  

This recipe went great with my pan seared pork chops!

Thank you to my friends at DiFiori for the best pasta around!  Their gnocchi was amazing.  We love you guys.

We only eat corn late summer when it's tender and sweet.  At the lake house we entertain often and preparing this dish in advance was a great way to feed a crowd while enjoying local summer corn!  We loved the spice from poblano and jalapenô peppers!  

Go ahead and give this a try.  If you can't find local fresh corn then use frozen corn.  (I actually added a frozen bag of white sweet corn as 4 extra friends were coming over and I was afraid there would not be enough).

I love my LeCreuset Pan!  Stove, Oven to Table!  Perfect.....

In the fall comfort foods seems to make everyone happy!  I love to serve this in an individual bowl for everyone to sit and enjoy each bite!   The ground chicken goes so well with the acorn squash.  You can use ground turkey, beef or pork and still make this meal amazing!

You can use boneless lamb for this recipe but using the rack of lamb makes this dish look so fancy yet very easy!  Why not dazzle your family or guests with this Italian dish.

I love using fresh herbs in this dish.  You can use dried but if you are making this special dish then go for the fresh! 

I promise you won't miss the standard flour pizza crust!  This is amazing especially if you love cauliflower as much as I do.  Using a store bought Rotisserie Chicken makes this pizza amazing.  I love cooking up large batches of caramelized  onions to use during the week. 

Here is the recipe for my Caramelized Onions!

Shrimp is great because you can get it fresh or frozen (keep handy frozen) and it cooks up super fast. I love enjoying with orzo and vegetables for a quick family dinner.

You can sauté up any vegetables you have handy for this delicious dish.

My Nana and I would stuff Manicotti's for Sunday dinner.  She would love to get them ready in the morning then we would bake them for dinner.  Her and I would mostly eat the inside stuffing. I decided to make the filling as meatballs and they were amazing.  I served over a vegetable primavera pasta.  Super yummy!  Go ahead and enjoy this Italian classic.

As I continue on my Turmeric journey this recipe has been born.  I was at the store and found Bob Mills Paleo Baking Flour.  It contains Almond Flour, Arrowroot Starch, Organic Coconut Flour, Tapioca Flour so I thought; let's try it!  I just loved this recipe.  I enjoyed with my turkey and lentil meatloaf and of course made some vegetarian gravy!  Yummy..

A large beef tenderloin is very common in many Italian homes.  My Nana would slice it very thin and serve as an appetizer as well as the main course!  This tender piece of beef is perfect for any family gathering!

Veal is another common meat used in Italian kitchens.  I love the thin medallions with the tuna and capers.  This is a real authentic Italian dish that we make in our hours over and over!
