Bitter Clementine Orange Marmalade

I have several friends who love bitter marmalade, including my spouse. This recipe has met his approval because I used a local favorite rum that adds just a slight punch. The more orange peels used, the more bitter the marmalade. I like to use two thirds of the peels, which adds just enough bitterness to the marmalade without overpowering the sweetness. Use a rum of your choice - I used Mad River First Run Rum.

Makes 5 to 6 half pints of marmalade

Creamy Oats & lentils risotto

This is my 'go to' recipe when I run out of produce. I accidentally created this recipe in my pursuit for eating healthy and avoiding restaurant food even on busy days. I have used red lentils as they have the same cooking time as oats and therefore can be thrown into the same pot along with oats. However, this dish can be made with any lentils that you may have. Just cook them separately if you are unsure about the cooking time.

"Nut" Another Breakfast Shake

Breakfast shakes are oh so delicious and you can be so creative with them. This one is a very almond-y shake and I love it! Almonds are my favorite nuts and I try to incorporate them in my meals as much as I can. Did you know.... A fistful of raw almonds (~7) a day are good for your heart, brain function, has the good fats (monounsaturated fats), calcium, fiber and magnesium. I like to call them the alpha nut!

Preserved Lemon Super Sauce

This vibrant, creamy and easy-to-make sauce was conceived for use as a salad dressing, but it's really far more versatile than that. Try it as a sandwich spread, use it as a dip for raw or blanched vegetables, or toss it with boiled new potatoes for a citrusy take on potato salad.
