Creamy Seafood Pasta

Scallops or lobster work equally well in this very simple pasta dish. Lemon zest flavours the creamy sauce and balances the sweet scallops or lobster.

Maui Ribs

Maui Ribs

We don’t often cook with Maple Syrup, but this recipe is a keeper! The Maple Syrup and Tamari (lighter GF Soy Sauce) are perfect together! Use honey if you prefer, regardless this dish is wonderful served with Lion’s Mane Mushrooms.
