Volunteering at the Market and Spinach Salad

This is my last semester of classes before I finish my Masters degree. While I still have a practicum to finish and thesis to write I am beginning to feel like I am close to the end. In honor of this ending, I wanted to really celebrate the student life this summer, by this I mean not working full time.

Halibut Steaks with Sour Cherry and Arugala Salad

Oh man this dish is so delicious too bad my image doesn't really do it justice! I can't wait until we have fresh local blueberries and cherries again. The salad is delicious on its own as well. For the tarragon mustard use my probiotic-rich Date-Mustard recipe and just add tarragon to it. ...

Nectarine and Rocket Salad

Nectarine and Rocket Salad

The sweet-sour flavor of the nectarines goes just divinely with the peppery rocket leaves. A ...
