Tangy Tuna Salad W/Avocado & Capers

Capers and I have a thing going.  Its a love-hate thing.  Well, ok.  Mostly love. Fine.  All love.  Its an all love thing.  I love capers. But doesn’t everyone?  If you haven’t tried them, they are actually little buds that have been pickled and brined.  They have a sharp, tangy little bite…

Light & Tangy Tuna Wraps

After a quick break to celebrate the holidays, I am thrilled to say that I am back and full to the brim with incredible recipes to share with all of you!  I can’t promise that they will all be healthy (I know we all want to follow those brand spankin’ new resolutions…)…

Loaded Roasted Pepper Hummus Sandwich

It is hard for me to convey just how spectacular the combination of these flavors are.  The only thing I have been able to come up with is, thats so good, you will want to eat it even when you are pregnant and so sick the though of a sip of water…

Tangy Chicken Salad w/ Avocado

Chicken salad and I have a funny kind of relationship.  I have mentioned before that our family never made it when I was a kid but I make it all the time now.  I rarely, if ever order it when at a restaurant because…well…it always tastes terrible.  You know what I mean?…

Strawberry-Avocado Salad W/Honey Lime Vinaigrette

I had this recipe in mind to share with you from the beginning of this blogs creation and for reasons I don’t quite understand, I just have never gotten around to it.  My bad. Please don’t judge the recipe by the simple picture above.  The lettuce combo I happened to have in…

Salmon Nicoise

It isn’t you.  Do not be alarmed.  Don’t bother to rub your eyes and blink rapidly.  What you are seeing is real.  This is most definitely not an autumnal dish.  I am slightly embarrassed to even post this right now as it uses several ingredients that aren’t exactly in season and can be hard…

Baja Fish Tacos

I confess.  If you had asked me, oh say, ten or twelve years ago, if I liked fish tacos, my answer would have been a very firm “No.”  The fact that I had never had a fish taco at that time would have been irrelevant.  I am from Minnesota you see, and we…

Cobb Potato Salad: Weird, but good!

Yes, its green potato salad.  I’ll explain in a minute. About a year ago, I decided to start a blog.  I had been asked over and over for recipes, input, sometimes advice, and I thought that if I started putting it all in one place, I could share with everyone about everything-all at…

Guacamole

Hola!  It was a Mexican Fiesta this weekend at our house and here is the guacamole recipe I promised you!  I also made shredded beef tacos with spicy sour cream, salsa, and mexican rice.  We had carrot cake for dessert (my husband’s FAVorite-although not exactly fitting for our Latin theme!) and all I…

Shrimp Cobb Salad

Eat with your eyes first and gaze upon this salad. Doesn’t this look good?  I thought so too.  So when I glanced at the cover of Cooking Light Magazine and saw it, I immediately added it to my menu for the week.  Beautiful to look at and delightful to eat, the flavor…

California Chopped Salad

O.K. So I have been a bit busy these last few days and while I have been cooking, I have not had the time to tell you about it.  We replaced all the storm windows in our screen porch, finished painting the outside of our house, finished up swimming lessons…we have had…
