Sausage and Mushroom Crostini
Sausage and Mushroom Crostini The recipe I chose for ReDux was from Rachel Ray 2 where she prepared Sausage Calzones. I was inspired by the Season and thought this would be a great party food (no one has to know you’ve cut out fat and calories).

Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings
Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings This is an insane recipe from a few years ago... I love taking really naughty pub food and making it practically guilt free, you still need a little restraint here, portion control and not eating the skin is key (sorry!). ...

Roasted Eggplant Dip
Roasted Eggplant Dip Here we are at the end of 2020. Arguably the worst time in our lives but I’d like to say a few things about my personal experience this year.
