Scallops are another sea food that has a mild taste and can be enjoyed by those who are not especially fond of fish. Scallops are in season now and can often be found on sale. They are an excellent source of B-12, magnesium, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids. This makes them a heart healthy food.

Roasted Whole Turkey Breast

We had a small gathering for Thanksgiving Dinner this year and I didn’t want to cook a whole turkey. Instead I opted for just the breast. It worked out wonderfully. It took less time to cook, wasn’t dried out and no dark meat leftovers. The trick to a moist turkey is to baste, baste, baste.

Fried Zucchini Flowers

The reason I started growing zucchini was for the flowers. The past few summers I have seen them at the local farmer’s market, but they are easy to grow in your own yard.
