26 Sailfish in one Day
We had an epic day last week catching 26 Sailfish in one day. It was a gorgeous day in the Florida Keys… the Skies were clear the humidity was low and we had a great Breeze coming from the North. Never did we dream when we set out to fish that day that we would end up with 26 Released Sails.
Vegan Pumpkin Banana Bread
If you Love Bananas, Pumpkin and Dark Chocolate then this is right up your alley. Best yet is that it’s Organic, Vegan and Gluten Free but doesn’t sacrifice on flavor or texture. Of course you can substitute non organic or regular flour but that’s just not me!! I personally always make a double batch because I usually have that many over ripe bananas… plus this freezes extremely well… you can give one away and keep another for another occasion. My tip of the day… when I bring a dish or dessert for a dinner at a friend or relative – well to make the dish even more special… I buy a new ceramic dish and present it as a gift to keep! I promise it will leave the Hostess with a Huge Smile.

Chicken & Shrimp Corn Chowder
This Chicken and Shrimp Corn Chowder is sure to be a big hit with the family. This has just the right amount of heat to please and the sweetness of the corn balances the salt from the bacon. It’s like a party in your mouth, and of course I make mine using all organic ingredients.

Italian Pizzelles
In the early 1920’s during the depression when money was scarce, Italian mothers and grandmothers would make Biscotti’s,Pizzelles and Struffoli as gifts for family and children. Amazing what flour, sugar and time spent in the kitchen could do to put huge smiles on little ones faces. I think even in today’s fast paced, fast food culture this is still a treasure – nothing shows you care as does something homebaked. This recipe calls for a batter like dough that is baked on a pizzelle iron. Powdered sugar adds a touch of elegance. The Italian version calls for Anise in place of Vanilla. I actually make batches of all 3 flavors.

Arugula Salad with Pancetta, Pears & Walnuts
Arugula, also known as rocket, has an assertive peppery taste that balances nicely with the pancetta and pear. If you prefer midler greens, use fresh spinach in place of all or part of the arugula.
