Welcome to my recipe collection.

These recipes offer a delicious mix of new and old world flavors. From the kitchens of my mother and grandmother in Transylvania to the new fusion mixes from my home kitchen in Canada. I have been inspired by the fickle tastes of my children ( vegetarian, pescatarian or whichever way the wind may blow) and my desire to become healthier without compromising taste. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Leave me comments and your favorite recipes!

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pinch dry crushed red pepper
2 bunches swiss chard, stems trimmed, leaves cut into 1/2-inch-wide pieces
1/2 lemon, juice of
salt
Directions:
Melt butter and oil in heavy large pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper.
Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
