Seared scallops over spaghetti squash with crispy leeks

This recipe is great if you’re looking to impress some dinner guests as it gets a lot of oohhhhs and ahhhhhhs for its fancy presenation but won’t have you slaving in the kitchen for a long time. In fact, you can make the spaghetti squash ahead of time (which is what I did) and then […]

Whole Roasted Cauliflower with a lemon thyme dressing

Apparently roasting a whole cauliflower head is a trendy thing.  Do an internet search and a million recipes pop up with different sauces and toppings.  Who knew about this and was holding out on me??

For you vegetarians, you […]
