My little girl is getting married next month and I have been playing with ideas to serve at her shower that are healthy versions of her favorites. She loves bagels and cream cheese with salmon, cream cheese and capers…but alas…. the wedding dress fitting. So I came up with this little bite that offers a little veggie with the bagel fixings.

Today I made them with a blackened seasoning for extra depth and flavor! The pairing with the Swiss cheese just took them over the top! I made them thin and doubled them up for extra seasoning surface!!! Continue reading

I was missing my excellent Grandmother again… (click to read a little more about Dorothy). She used to make Gołąbki for us sometimes. I’ll admit that as a youngster I was not a huge fan, but as an adult I’d really begun to appreciate it. She made the best ever Gołąbki. This is my slightly healthier version of hers… Continue reading
