Pan Seared Lamb Chop Dinner for 2

I cannot think of a nicer Easter Dinner for two or four. This is a 30 minute meal that is an excellent choice for a holiday or special occasion meal. This plate of food could be served in a very fancy pants restaurant! The cauliflower is out of this world.

Baked casserole with eggplant, tomatoes, and cheese in a blue dish, partially scooped with a spoon.

Eggplant Ricotta Bake

This version eliminates the 'frying' step, instead the eggplant is roasted, which concentrates the flavor. While not traditional, I love the added ricotta 'lasagna' layer that serves as the protein. I like the eggplant to shine, so I do not add too many herbs or spices. A wonderful dish!

Crispy coconut-crusted shrimp arranged on a plate with a creamy dipping sauce and lemon slices.

Air Fried Coconut Shrimp

The trick is to find the unsweetened coconut in your supermarket - it is often labeled as 'dessicated' or dried. Check the label and make sure sugar is not listed as an Ingredient. Mmmm, I love coconut!

Perfect Moist Chicken Breasts!

You cannot easily eat chicken because, with all due respect, you overcook it, rendering it dry and tough and hard to digest. Open your mind and lets cook it together.
