Offering a variety of fresh, local produce, baked goods, arts and crafts, as well as milk, eggs, meat and seafood. On […]
Coctel de Camarones
Coctel de Camarones -this is without a doubt one of my absolute favorite dishes. As the weather is heating up here in North Carolina I’m dreaming of digging into one of these. When I take a bite and close my eyes I am transformed to a gorgeous ocean view with sea breezes blowing through my […]
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Oh man – I am so excited about this pudding recipe. Not only is it rich and creamy but it’s made in the blender and then chilled! Super easy with a decadent chocolate flavor. At the spice shop where I log in a few hours a week we sell a type of cocoa called Black […]

Fish Tacos
Fish Tacos are one of my favorite meals. When my man, Dan brought home some fresh snapper fillets last weekend I seasoned them, threw them on the grill and presto! Fresh fish tacos.

Avocado-Buttermilk Dressing
If you’ve been following my blog you might have noticed that bottled salad dressing is not my favorite. I’ll take oil and vinegar over bottled dressing any day. It’s such a simple affair to whip up one’s own dressing and the rewards are terrific. Well worth the effort. This is one of those recipes I […]

Avocado & Mango Salad
So avocado is green, right? Right! Mango does not come from anywhere near where I live but I went for it anyway, as they looked unblemished, plump and juicy! Today’s post of Avocado & Mango Salad is a delicious way to get into the mood for spring.
