Appetizers & Snacks
Shrimp and Arugula Salad
An easy low carb, paleo recipe for 5-ingredient shrimp and arugula salad inspired by my trip to Italy. I first had this incredible shrimp and arugula salad in a little ristorante in Taormina, Sicily. It was a perfect lunch on a sunny terrace. I was surprised at how few ingredients were in the salad. But…

Pecan Chocolate Chip Coconut Granola
I was thinking about German chocolate cake when I came up with this pecan chocolate chip coconut granola recipe. Toasted pecans, coconut flakes, and honey play with the flavors of the coconut pecan frosting. And semi-sweet chips add a hint of chocolate to the mix. The combination of crunchy, chewy, salty, and sweet is slightly addictive.

Fresh tomato salsa, or pico de gallo, is wonderful with homegrown summer tomatoes. I am still waiting for my tomatoes to ripen (there are a ton of them but they are all still green), so I used tomatoes from a local farm. I think any variety of tomato works well in this salsa. I love…
