Avocado Turkey Burgers are bursting with flavor, super-juicy and a lot better for you than traditional burgers! Have a question about one of my recipes?

I came up with these incredibly juicy and flavorful turkey burgers that reduce the fat and calories. Sounds … [Read more...]

With a layer of gooey fudge, a layer of fresh cherry filling and a chocolate pie crust to tie it all together, this is the ultimate summer treat! Three years people! That's about 2 years and 50 weeks longer than I thought I would be doing this for.

This was going to be a fun little hobby that I would drop when I got bored and found a new hobby. Somehow, over the last couple of years, the whole thing evolved completely. It went from hobby into a business … [Read more...]
Grilled Chicken in Mustard Sauce
The best supper is the one you can make in minutes! Quick and easy grilled chicken in mustard sauce will become your new family favorite! People often ask me how I became a cook, baker, and most importantly, a recipe developer. Every time, without hesitation, I answer that it boils down to my mother and her creativity in the kitchen. I’m sure that if I had grown up in a house where my mother followed recipes without experimenting at all, that I wouldn’t have ever attempted to experiment, and eventually start creating my own recipes. It’s funny though, that while I completely credit my mother’s creativity for my own kitchen accomplishments, I’ve developed a completely different style in the … [Read more...]
