SIDES:
 
Chilled Tomato and Tarragon Soup (F) (DF,NF,SF)
Sun-loaded and juicy organic tomatoes from Amish country are used in this recipe. We use the tarragon both in the soup and to flavor crispy croutons for this velvety, fresh-tasting tomato soup. The soup is terrific served hot or chilled.

A fragrant coconut rice recipe, its sweet tropical essence combined with colorful veggies and spice make it a thrill to the taste buds at any dinner table. In fact, I even eat it cold, straight out of the fridge!

This salad is a Luau in a bowl, with baby lettuce, pineapple chunks, papaya, roasted/salted Macadamia nuts and plantain chips.

Crispy, yet healthy and delicious. Kids will defiantly approve of this dish!
 
Trattoria Salad (GF,DF,NF,SF)
Incorporating white peach slices in the salad helps emphasize the fruity flavor of the chicken. We add baby spinach, prosciutto, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze to the mix!
