It's Friday early eve and day two of my quarantine post my Aruba trip where my son got married to his sweetheart and celebrated his 30th birthday. We were blessed all of the celebrations went off fabulously considering the world as we knew it was changing with the pandemic spread of the Corona Covid-19 virus. With humble gratitude we are all home safe.

Being on my own and attending to matters at hand a Friday familiar ritual called to me. This being Pizza and a movie. On a whim I decided I would test out a home-made crust creation and video taping as well. Call me crazy - it won't be the first time. This video is very amateur the pizza creation turned out quite well.  A complete recipe to be uploaded once I can recreate my crust with the addition of spinach. Meantime instructions are included here for you to make this if you wish. And if you do please tag me and let me know how yours turned out. Bon appetit!

If you love to wow your taste-buds and impress your co-diners without raising a sweat then this recipe is sure to become a fave in your cache of company worthy meals. Actually all your meals can be company worthy if you ensure to infuse them with big flavor.  That's just what great chefs and restaurants do and you can to.

The recipe is so easy and you're likely to discover its better than what some (most) resto's serve. And if you're like me you just cringe when going out for a meal then thinking... "man, I make better meals than that!" Now there are amazing venues out there that impress and I love going out for a wow meal. My point is I like to create them too.
So check this out and then get out in that kitchen and rattle some pots and pans and if you do make this please post and tag me on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter.  I love seeing your creations. Find the recipe details here.

If you like this video please be sure to give it a thumbs up and follow me on Youtube - in error I have two channels and this will eventually be fixed. Meantime find a small cache to choose from. More to come in the future.

Ah Hummus!  Not sure how I ever managed without this fabulous, versatile and protein-rich dip before. Now it’s a staple for me and I usually have both a stash in the fridge as well as the freezer.  Home-made is best of course and I have such fun playing around with recipes and adapting the legumes I use, the veggies and spices I add in. In addition, I find various toppings to add that extra something – this is essential in my view.  It makes for a perfect last minute appetizer as well and hey, you gotta love having both a proverbial favorite for your guests as well as something that’s good for them too. Enjoy this version – truly one of my favorites next to the SunButter and Sweet Potato Hummus I make as well.  Enjoy the video and be sure to let me know how your version turns out.

Salads are hit most any way and this fruit studded curried chicken salad is sure to win rave reviews.
For those of you who don't eat meat sub black bean, adzuki or chickpeas seasoned with sea salt, pepper and your favorite curry powder. They marry well with this salad and the black beans in particular look stunning.  Either way you will love this easy to make, flavor infused salad creation.
