Chinese New Year Candy

 These were brought to a women's retreat I attended recently, and, oh my stars, were they delicious! Upon my first bite of one of these scrumptious morsels, I decided I wasn't leaving without the recipe.

Lemon Vinaigrette


 Discovered this in a friend's refrigerator and have been pestering her for the recipe ever since!

1/3 C extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 C fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp. honey

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Mix together ingredients and toss onto green salad! So simple, and yet, so delicious!

Smoked Fish



 Inspired by our vacations to the shore of Lake Superior where the smoked fish is amazing and must be featured in as many meals as possible, from dinner in the dining room to picnic on the sailboat. I cobbled this recipe together from several I found online. This requires brining overnight, so prepare in advance!
