Best Melon Recipes
Best Melon Recipes: Nothing screams summer like ripe melon. Cantaloupe, honeydew, canary, watermelon. Such a sweet special treat that begs to be eaten outdoors. I personally enjoy all of the melon varieties. But my favourite is honeydew. Or maybe canteloupe. How about you? You will find one or two great new things to make with melon here on the best melon recipes roundup. I am pretty traditional with melon. When we eat it we typically just have it sliced or chunked, or placed in a fruit salad.

One of my Favourite Dishes: Chicken Piccata Recipe
One of my favourite dishes ever to order when we go out is this: chicken piccata. I love the flavour combinations of capers and lemon and wine with chicken served on a bed of noodles. Of course there is always just a tiny hint of olive oil in the mix to make this dish, and the chicken, super moist and succulent. I wish I had a dish of it handy right now actually. This, and chicken masala, are two chicken dishes I could exist on. No question, chicken is a staple in many family homes at dinner time. It is versatile and fairly inexpensive. Plus it really absorbs spices and…

The Best Ever Cherry Desserts
Cherry Desserts remind me of being a child again. Cherries in general also do that for me. My Mom was the world’s biggest fan of strawberries. She loved cherries too. I think that was partly because her parents had a berry farm many years ago and she grew up eating both often. As a kid I loved cherries and some of the best cherry desserts too. My daughters both love blueberries and strawberries, but they crave cherries the most. There is nothing so simple, refreshing and healthy as fresh seasonal berries, just picked and ready to eat. I personally can’t wait until June when both cherries and strawberries are in…

I swear to you on all that I cherish, if the world of flavours dried up tomorrow and there was only lemon left, I would be totally fine with that. Lemon is my favourite flavour of all, ever. It makes me happy. Nothing like lemon to signal spring, summer, or even just a change of seasons. I just love it. My favourite of all time is lemon merengue pie. But lemon squares and tarts and even lemon flavoured cake makes me happy. So I rounded…

Thai Coconut Curry Soup Recipe
I love soups and crockpot recipes and I love to experiment with spices too. Sometimes the ingredients and the results are magical. This Thai Coconut Curry Soup recipe is one of those magical meals. This is quite a versatile recipe. This recipe goes well with beef, chicken, shrimp, or just vegetarian and with some rice noodle. It serves two people, comfortably. When I have used either beef or chicken, I make sure I cook it aside first and then cut it into bit size pieces. Also, you cut up your veggies any way it looks more appealing to you.. I don’t eat or make Thai food often, but every now…
