Meet Michelle…I firmly believe that if you passed high school chemistry you can learn to cook well, and I know that $50 at a grocery store will yield you more delicious food than $50 spent at most restaurants ever could. At my home the wine is good, the company great and the food is fabulous. There is no reason why it can’t be the same at your house! Together we can all cook better than most restaurants. Read More

Basil Chicken with White Cannellini Beans
After a weekend of eating lots of bad-for-me-food to celebrate my birthday I am back and on the straight and narrow path of eating what’s good for me, and this Basil Chicken with White Cannellini Beans is the prefect meal. Most healthy dinners do not really entice the...
Prosciutto Wrapped Figs
