Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burgers
The typical American family dinner includes a large serving of meat, a vegetable, and a starchy side dish. My family is no different. Our dinners have been mostly meat-centric over the years. The meals focused on either a beef, chicken, pork or fish entrée with the side dishes playing a smaller role in our dinners. But that has been changing over the past few months. I have been adding a meatless meal to our dinner menu about once a week. A favorite entrée of ours is Sweet Potato and Black Bean...
Read MoreBlack Bean and Vegetable Enchiladas
After eating, drinking, and overindulging during the holidays, many people are looking for lighter meals. Black Bean and Vegetable Enchiladas are full of flavor and are a satisfying vegetarian dinner. Enchiladas were first made in Mexico and were simply tortillas wrapped around small fish. Today, they are filled with many different ingredients including cheese, chicken, beef, shrimp, lobster and a variety of vegetables and beans. Traditionally they are topped with red enchilada sauce which is tomato-based and made...
Read MoreEggplant Rollatini
Eggplant Rollatini is wicked good. A lightened up version for lasagna that packs all the flavors that make Italian dishes delicious. It is a favorite of my personal chef clients and is requested a couple times a month.

Serve with a wedge of iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing and dinner is complete. Eggplant Rollatini Print Recipe type: entree Author:...

I give out lots and lots and lots of recipes and cooking tips.

Read MoreGreek Orzo and Feta Stuffed Peppers
As a personal chef, I am always on the lookout for new recipes to make my clients. I am a certified cooking magazine junkie as I subscribe to more than my share of monthly culinary periodicals. When I open my mailbox and see the latest edition of Cooking Light, Eating Well, or Bon Appetit, I can’t wait to head to my deck with a glass of wine and read it cover to cover. Spending more time than I should on my computer leads me to countless websites loaded with recipes for grilled teriyaki salmon with...
Read MoreMicrowave Steamed Artichokes
We love artichokes at our house. It is one vegetable I know that won’t be pushed around the plate and later sneakily scrapped in to the garbage can. And when we have guests over – especially my kids’ friends – I like to serve artichokes because it is not a green vegetable that typically is served at many kitchen tables. They look intriguingly at the vegetable and wonder how they are going to eat it. My kids expertly show them how to pluck off the leaves, dip them in melted butter,...
