Detox Soup

This is a great soup to detox your body of the poisons you have been putting into it. I tend to make it when I feel like I could lose a couple of those heavy pounds right away. As well it is a great one to make when you decide to clean out the fridge; heck, do both at the same time, clean out your body and clean out the fridge. It is loaded with good veggies, which equals lots of vitamins.

Herb Citrus Crusted Lamb Chops

I love French Rib Chops as I feel they really dress up a casual meal, they are so elegnant in presentation and tender in taste. I use to make this particular recipe often, many years ago, but have not done so in awhile. I love the combination of the orange zest, garlic and rosemary with the creamiest of the lamb. As well, beinggrass-fed lamb, there is a nice sweet grassiness that is very pleasant with this combination of herbs.
