If you had to go on a colour diet and only eat only three colours – which three would you choose? I'd choose red, orange and green. That covers about 80% of my favorite foods. The whole idea sounds crazy, but of course a quick search uncovered an interesting article about the benefits of food by colour. What Color is Your Diet.
The white and orange salad has fennel, roasted yellow beets, orange sements, mint, sunflower seeds, walnuts and feta.

White and Orange Salad

Good Morning
Having fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning brings back that vacation feeling. If I can start every day with a fresh glass of vacation, I'm good.

Fresh Squeeze
I love fresh squeezed orange juice! It's good in the morning, and it's even better in the evening with a shot of vitamin V. I've been wanting to get a citrus press for a while, and then I found a nice one from Breville. No more lugging home juice from the market on Saturday morning... now I lug home oranges.

Christmas Dinner – Duck with Orange Chipotle Sauce
My goal each holiday season is to avoid eating turkey. I know I'm in the minority on this issue, and I've suggested alternate meal options on many occasions. Each time I suggest an alternative, I'm met with a similar response – no! Perhaps I should suggest the infamous deep fried turkey.
Last night (Christmas Eve) was turkey night... but tonight it's duck! I picked up two beautiful Muskovy duck breasts at Whitehouse in the Market to make Broiled Duck Breasts with Orange Chipotle Sauce. It's not a complicated recipe – most of the work goes into the sauce. Broiling it in a roasting pan with some water in the lower pan kept it from smoking too much, and it made the fat on top nicely caramelized and crispy. To serve, it was sliced thin, and topped with the sweet & spicy orange chipotle sauce. We had it with a side of roasted butternut squash.
What would you rather have, turkey or duck?

Roasted Arctic Char and Fennel
I was looking for something with fennel and fish... f&f. When came across this recipe it reminded me of another favorite s&a, so I had to try it.
This recipe is so easy, it's ridiculous. There are only three ingredients... if you don't count olive oil, salt and pepper. 25 minutes after you start, you'll putting dishes in the dishwasher and thinking about dessert.
