Lemon Raspberry Loaf
This delicious lemon raspberry loaf is a welcome addition to brunch, or it can be enjoyed as a not-too-sweet treat any time of day. If you want a little added sweetness, add a light drizzle of the optional lemon glaze right before serving. Raspberries are members of the rose family. We generally think of red raspberries but there are also golden (yellow) and black raspberries. Which ever color you choose, don't wash before storing as this causes the berries to spoil quickly. Handle the delicate berries as little as possible. To wash, use a colander to hold the berries and dip in water then let drain just before using. Raspberries are nutritional powerhouses. They are high in Vitamin C, low in sugar, high in anti-oxidants, good source of fiber, help prevent diabetes and are good ... [Read More]
Cauliflower Soup with Goat Cheese, Garlic & Bacon
Cauliflower Soup with Bacon, Garlic & Goat Cheese is lunch time quick . Pair it with a crisp, green salad or crisp crusted rolls for a more filling meal. It also makes a nice, light appetizer when served in small portions and garnished with green onion slices. One of the great things about cauliflower is how well it takes on the flavors of other ingredients. In this case, the tangy goat cheese adds an interesting and delicious dimension to the finished result. If you want more robust flavors, roast the cauliflower and onion before blending. The flavor will be more complex, but be aware the soup will take on a darker brown color as a result. Goat cheese is a good source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. The fatty acids found in goat's milk have antibacterial ... [Read More]

Busy week! The calendar ended up with a disproportionate number of appointments in the last week of the month. Some appointments are hard to get and there is no choice. Some were changed repeatedly because of Covid and actually only happened because the numbers are down. The good news is Wheels 1 year check of the heart valve replacement says everything is great!

Tuscan Chicken Rice Bowl
A delicious meal, ready to eat in about 30 minutes. You can assemble from scratch which may take a just a few minutes longer at cooking time or freeze ahead of time, thaw overnight and have it ready in a flash for a healthy work night meal. Add a quick salad of spring greens, feta cheese, a few walnuts and blueberries. Look for chicken breast fillets as they are about half an inch thick and will cook quickly and evenly. Most stores will carry them, but if you don't find them make your own fillets. With a sharp knife slice a chicken breast lengthwise into half inch pieces. Look for chopped mushrooms if you have a "fungus-phobe" like Bytes at your house. He'll eat chopped mushrooms with little comment, but objects to the bigger pieces. (We're making progress with that -- lol!) ... [Read More]
