May 29, 2019 by Maggie Jones 9 Comments

Salmon crab burger with mustard sauce

We make these amazingly delicious burgers for special occasions, small summer celebrations or when entertaining. However, they’re simple enough to make anytime if you have more self control than I do. These were one of Brad’s and my favorite meals for years but I could never get a decent picture before we devoured them. Five…

Carrot, zucchini and squash ribbons in herb and garlic butter.

Colorful, peppery, and garlicky, this dish hits all the requirements for a Jones favorite. This recipe is one of the first I posted when we started this blog but the pictures were awful so I’m pulling it up from the archive in the hopes I can convince you to make it. This recipe is so…

Spanish chicken with grapes, cilantro and white wine

You really need to make this chicken. Probably tonight but, if you already have plans, later this week is okay, too. I understand why you haven’t made it yet – the pictures that accompanied the recipe when I originally posted it back in 2014 were pretty awful. Evidence is under the recipe below. Even these…

The gorgeous colors of this dish make it…

Keto Shrimp Coconut Soup
