Huge Meatball Fan. That’s me. I’m forever pondering the possibilities. If you’re ever looking for meatball inspiration check out my favorite recipes here.
My latest classic dish turned into a meatball lovefest are Chicken Piccata Meatballs. Take all those Chicken Piccata comforting flavors and roll them up into meatball heaven. Enter capers, Parmesan cheese, lemon, garlic, fresh parsley. Oh and then let them bathe in a glorious caper butter wine sauce to soak in even more deliciousness.

We found such a bargain on Sea Scallops. Great big juicy sea scallops. I believe the steep price tag is what keeps me from eating them every day. But I do love them. We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways. My choice was Asian Noodles with Seared Sea Scallops. Continue reading »

inHere in the sunny south we’ve been experiencing some big weather swings. Cold one day, hot the next. Seems that kind of shift leads you straight into flu and cold season. Yep, that’s right.
