Dinner Therapy

  • Baby scallops seared in garlic, lime, and a dash of dill and steaming clams in the shell soaked in garlic butter served over capellini pasta.
  • A blend of baby red and green butter lettuces and baby spinach tossed with fresh tomatoes lightly dressed with extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar, fresh cracked pepper and course sea salt. Lay Parmesan shavings on top.
  • Hearty slices of whole grain millet bread spread with fresh cream butter.
  • Begin with a warm creamy tomato bisque.
  • A nice glass of Cabernet sauvignon.
  • Follow with a healthy piece of dark chocolate truffle and a cup of mint tea.


Dinner at home with the family tonight. . . all thanks to Trader Joe's. The ordinary Monday night family dinner that helps one face the week ahead - deliciously.
