Think about the countryside of France, fields of lavender and one of France’s famous blends, Herbes de Provence. This is also a favorite combination of herbs that I’ve been using for a long time – I think the lavender element pulled me in. I highly recommend this wonderful mixture of different herbs as it elevates … Continue reading
A delightful dish from France using Provencal style food. This style is frequently used for preparing chicken or fish with staple ingredients found in the region. These ingredients include EVOO, sun-ripened tomatoes (I did use diced tomatoes), garlic, olives and Herbes de Provence (pollen) consisting of a blend of herbs; thyme, savory, oregano, rosemary, lavender … Continue reading
This is a good idea to have a few of these on hand in your refrigerator for future meals such as sandwiches, fajitas, or just alone with some roasted veggies. In the past I’ve used different seasonings and methods of cooking depending on the recipe, but wanted one that was universal. I recently purchased Valerie … Continue reading

I get regular emails full of recipes using Fustini’s vinegars and oils. I have made a few including West Michigan Blueberry Chicken Salad and Lavender Balsamic Strawberries with Mascarpone Cream and Turkey Tetrazzini. When I lived in Ann Arbor I shopped at their store all of the time but now that I have moved further … Continue reading
All I can say is you have to make this sumac-pomegranate flavored recipe while the tomatoes are perfectly ripe (at least here in Michigan). The spiced onions are heavenly and the chicken is tender and goes perfectly in this Palestinian recipe. It is a take on a dish called musakhan, which is chicken seasoned with … Continue reading
I receive regular recipes from thekitchen.com and this chicken dish tweaked my tastebuds. The white wine/white wine vinegar sauce sounded wonderful and light which was flavored with fresh rosemary and smashed garlic cloves. I was not mistaken and it was a perfect dinner served over my favorite rice. The author attended a Kosher Italian cooking … Continue reading
What a wonderful way to make chicken that will be good in tacos, burrito bowls, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostados or even on a sandwich. Because it is made in a slow cooker it is a perfect dish to make during the warmer months. I often will plug it in on my deck! There are many versions … Continue reading
