Incredible Green Beans with Feta & Dill

This is an easy and incredibly delicious Green Bean side dish. So good you could probably eat it as a whole meal, I know I have.
Butter, White Wine and Lemon Juice add richness and added acidity. Plus caramelizing the Onion adds such a wonderful sweetness to balance out the Lemon Juice and White Wine.
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do.

Arugula with pear & blue cheese

Arugula with pear & blue cheese

Salads can be as simple as a dressing and some leaf greens, or they can have 16 different ingredients. Some fine dining restaurants might take a couple hours to put together a salad. On the other hand I can throw one together in about 5 minutes for lunch, who has time lol.

      This Arugula with Pear & Blue Cheese Salad is on the easier side but with a few extras. If you decide to add these special touches I’m sure your guests will notice.

Want a snack with just a hint of exotic flavour, just that hint of spice try Candied Pecans with Turmeric. These are not like the store bought Candied Nuts that taste like they have had a can of Coke dumped on them.

      A subtle hint of Turmeric with Ginger and a whiff of Cinnamon. The very light touch of Honey and the goldenness of Coconut.
