Great rules- you've heard them before, but always a good reminder to be smart when grocery shopping!

Grilled Chicken

Charred to perfection with a Moroccan inspired rub. Yum!

Red wine Risotto

Red wine and sun dried tomatoes- topped with toasted pine nuts. Rich and bold- a perfect winter dish.

Bourbon Brownies with Sea Salt

Smells like bourbon, tastes like bourbon. Yes please.
