This side a perfect match for the lamb I posted here yesterday. I love that it is red and green- how festive! It couldn’t be any easier. I actually saw Barefoot Contessa do this on her show. I couldn’t find the actual recipe but it looked so easy that I was able to remember the…
Herb and Garlic Cornish Game Hens
Ok, I am going to do my best to get some Holiday recipes posted in the next couple weeks. Starting now. If you are just stopping by for the first time (first off, thank you!) please know that this month will be heavy on the recipes and light on the nutrition articles. We have a…
