Hello Darlings! I knew I wanted to create something pink this month. However, pink isn’t exactly a color that you generally find in nature- so I was a bit stumped. That was until a fun surprise package came in the mail from Food Should Taste Good, and I just knew that I had to create a dip! I use beets as a natural food coloring and thought that their color and sweetness would pair well with fall flavors like cumin, nutmeg, cloves, and carrots. Adding Greek yogurt to the mix acted as a binder ... Read More about Beet-Carrot Yogurt Dip for Breast Health Awareness Month

Tarragon-Panko Baked Cod
Hello Darlings! I usually am terrible when it comes to leftovers. Lazy me makes what’s easy or expected without putting much thought into the dish I’m creating. However, I had some gorgeous cuts of cod left over from having a friend over for Cod en Papillote and decided I needed to make them into something special but still simple. I used my cod, leftover sliced veggies and added panko to create an easy but delicious dish! Ingredients: - Cod, cut up into chunks - 1 Cup Panko - 1 ... Read More about Tarragon-Panko Baked Cod
