Our Story
August 19, 2014 was a day we will never forget. For about three weeks prior I was concerned that something was going on with my beautiful, energetic, 19 month old girl. Although it was a hot summer and we spent a lot of time playing…

Puerto Vallarta – Hotel District, April 2025
We were a little late to the party this spring – my BFF from High School and I. There are 9 of us now, and all of the other gals were either on vacations or couldn’t go.
Skillet Ground Turkey and Rice
Comfort food at its finest. Serve on its own or with lettuce leaves and sriracha to make wraps. Both are delicious!
Rotisserie Chicken Tacos
A meal can hardly get any easier than this! Homemade Corn Tortillas is part of the fun. Serve with Mexican Street Corn Salad.
Mexican Street Corn Salad
Authentic Mexican Street corn (elite) consists of grilled corn on the cob slathered in butter, mayonnaise and chilli pepper topped with cilantro, Cojita and lime juice. We cut the corn from the husks and make an easy summer salad to serve with Rotisserie Chicken Tacos.
Spicy Chicken Thighs
Chicken Thighs are so moist, we prefer them over chicken breasts with this rub. Let the rub rest on them for 15 minutes and up to overnight.
Beefsteak Tomato Confit
Even though “Confit” means slow cooked, these tomatoes can slow marinate for hours on the counter. Generally we marinate for about 4 hours. Ripe Beefsteak tomatoes work best, compared to Cherry or Grape.
Seared Citrus Digby Scallops
Digby Scallops are renowned for their sweet, tender texture. Digby, Nova Scotia was the first place to commercially fish scallops in the pristine water in the Bay of Funny, during the early 1920’s. They are also renowned for their sustainable fishing practices.
Red Leaf Lettuce with Citrus Vinaigrette
This is an amazing salad and using freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice is critical. Orange season is from December to April, and even though this salad is bright and spring like, we generally serve it during cooler months. A reminder of warmer days to…
Roasted Cauliflower and Carrot Soup
Even though there is no dairy, this soup is creamy and comforting on a snowy day. We love to serve soup before dinner, especially if it is a lighter meal or for lunch. Find the teacups or small bowls and put them to use.
White Bean (Cannellini) Hummus
This White Bean Hummus is similar to Chickpea Hummus – but not quite. Cannellini Beans have a milder and creamier consistency. Dress the Hummus with anything and everything you have on hand. We love Slow Roasted Tomatoes along with avocado, cucumber, parsley, red onion, and…
