I do like the candy and chocolate and the colors of pink and red! Very pretty. Valentine’s Day is also another excuse to eat chocolate and other sweets. This year, instead of buying candy for the kids, I am making chocolate & fruit dessert. You get chocolate, but you also get the fruits! Valentine’s Day Chocolate & Fruit Dessert!

Have you ever had duck? To some it may be intimidating, as it’s not an everyday meat people eat. I made a sweet roast and tender duck and boy was it absolutely delicious!

I love Christmas! All the things you have to do just to prepare for the holiday. You need to purchase gifts, wrap, decorate your home, prepare a meal. Wow, a lot! To get ready and not overwhelm myself. I make a list of everyone I need to buy gifts for.

I don’t usually buy cod often but wanted something different. For lunch this weekend, I made a sautéed buttery, garlic cod with lime. If I had thought of the recipe in advance I would have let the fish marinate for a few hours before cooking. However, it still turned out delicious.
