White Bean Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

The perfect spring salad!! I made this white bean with lemon vinaigrette salad for my girlfriend's baby shower this weekend and it was a huge hit! Besides looking amazing with all the bright colours it tastes very fresh and is a the perfect light dish for any picnic, potluck or party this spring!

Meatless Mondays

Why not make every Monday a Meatless Monday!! Skip the meat and amp up those veggies! Don't worry, this isn't a campaign to make you go vegetarian but more a way to promote better foods that help prevent heart disease, cancer, stroke & diabetes. Check out the Healthy Eats website to get started today!!

Pamela's Wine Pairings

Hi Everyone!

Don't forget to check out all of Pamela's Wine Pairings & Weekly Wine Picks for 2012! We are getting very excited to start visiting some fabulous local wineries and purchasing all of our favourite wines. A new must try is Silk Scarf's 2010 Riesling Muscat, I was very impressed when I tasted this white and cannot wait to stock my wine cabinet with it! This Riesling blend sells for $21.90 a bottle and you will not be disappointed! If you are ever in Summerland stop by and check out the family operated winery & orchard, they have the most delicious cherries you will ever taste!

See you all on the wine trail this spring/summer!

Vegan Gluten Free Roasted Tomato, Pepper & Onion Pasta

I made this pasta dish for my moms birthday the other night and it turned out fantastic!! I used gluten free brown rice pasta and was surprised to find that it was much lighter than regular pasta. Make this pasta for the vegan in your family!

Greek Sole with Parmesan Asparagus & Herb Wild Rice

One of my favourite things to do in the summer, or whenever I can track them down, is to purchase fresh seafood from a local seafood truck! They bring all of the seafood up to Kelowna from the coast and sell it out of an old school bus! Everything is extremely fresh and freezer packaged. It's an excellent way to enjoy ocean fresh seafood anytime.
