Grilled Scallops with Red Pepper Sauce

Grilled scallops with red pepper sauce is an easy dish to prepare. The natural sweetness of the red bell peppers works nicely with the succulent briny flavor of the scallops.

Tuscan Bean Salad

Tuscan bean salad is a favorite in our household. The white  beans are a satisfying addition in a nice marinated combination of fresh salad ingredients.

Pasta Primavera

Pasta Primavera is a fresh and delicious pasta combination with summer vegetables. Primavera means Springtime in Italian and this popular dish celebrates the fresh Springtime and Summer vegetables (even better from your garden).

Homemade Marinara Sauce

It might be tempting to reach for a can of prepared marinara sauce, but why not make a declicious fresh marinara sauce from scratch, especially when it is so simple and quick to prepare.

Mussels and Potato Salad

Potato salad with mussels combines two of my favorite foods. Prepared with a vinaigrette dressing, it's easy to prepare, delicious and comes in under the healthy diet category.

Spinach and Portobello Mushroom Omelette

Spinach and portobello mushroom omelette includes provolone cheese and green onions for a savory blend of flavors and textures. Very satisfying omelette and easy to prepare.

Family Photographs for your Family Cookbook

As you plan and layout your family cookbook, be sure to include plenty of photographs and images. Not only do photographs bring an exciting visual dimension to your recipes, you'll want to capture the memories that family photographs will add to your family cookbook.

A family cookbook is more than a collection of your family recipes. This is your special opportunity to tell the family story and capture your family history. And all of those photographs that you've collected over the years make the perfect addition to your family cookbook.

Here are a few ways to incorporate photographs in your family cookbook

  • Recipe and food images
  • Family portrait (the family group)
  • Portraits and pictures of family members
  • Honor the chefs and cooks behind the family recipes with a photo
  • Pictures of babies, children and grandchildren
  • Pictures of the family pets (how about a funny food story or mishap with a family pet to go along with a picture of your pooch)
  • Pictures at the holidays
  • Pictures from family vacations
  • Pictures from family events and celebrations including family reunions, birthdays, weddings, etc.
  • Pictures in the kitchen
  • Pictures of the houses and towns where your family has lived

Tell the story with pictures and words.
