Winter Salad W/Cranberries & Feta

Just popping in quick to share one of my most favorite salads with you.  Yes, those are sugared almonds.  Yes, that is one of the reasons its my favorite.  So sue me. I like to call this my winter salad because it looks so fresh and crisp and clean and bright!  Like…

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…)…

Spinach & Feta Artichoke Dip

I owe my love of artichokes to my good friend, Dede. Actually, I owe quite a bit to her.  Not the least of which is the fact that she taught me how to devein shrimp, sneak food into a movie theater, and even hosted our wedding at her farm.  Years ago, when…

Breakfast Stackers

When I lived in San Diego, I used to meet up with my friend and fellow Navy wife, Karen, at this bar and grill.  For the life of me, I can NOT remember the name of the place (I think it had something to do with panning for gold…) but the place…

Green Tea Smoothie

So, remember when I posted this recipe for Green Green Salad?  I am at it again, but this time its drinkable.  I keep creating these verdant recipes and all I can think of is, “Awesome.  It is sooooo greeeeeen.” Side Note:  I have been looking for a green couch for my family room,…

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…

Green Green Salad W/Grilled Chicken & Creamy Honey Lemon Dressing

“Brace yourself,” I ordered my husband, as I dipped a piece of fresh spinach into the large measuring cup I was carrying.  “This may be the best salad dressing in the history of the word.” And I dipped and he munched and he loved it and I grinned. I was right: It…

Salmon Noodle Bowl

Have I ever mentioned to you how much I love fish? I really do. I have to physically restrain myself from posting obscene amounts of salmon and tilapia recipes here. Never mind that this is quite obviously a salmon dish or that a How To recipe involving tilapia and parchment paper is…

Spicy Meat & Cheese Roll-Ups: Back to School Post #5

One of my favorite things about food are the associations that you make with it.  A certain dish or meal that makes you think of a time or place in your life, triggering a memory. I love that. This is one of those foods for me.  Years ago, while catering with two…

Loaded Black Bean Quesadillas

Greetings! Sorry I have been MIA for a week!  I have been cooking and baking up a storm but it has been mostly new recipes and experiments.  We were out of the state for several days and I literally didn’t even have time to sleep, let alone get any blogging done.  Our…

Peanut Noodles

When it comes right down to it, the fact that this dish has a no-cook sauce and that I can make it entirely in the blender…well…that is really what drew me to it originally.  After I made it once, it was the flavor that drew me in.  The second time I made…

Smokey Smoothie-Blueberries, Bananas, & Spinach

This smoothie is what I have been making lately so naturally, I want to share it with you!  It gets frozen in these little thingamabobs and then added to my daughters lunch.  My boys-especially my almost 1 year old-suck down whatever can’t be frozen, and I just end up trying to steal…

Vegetable Enchiladas

As I was making this dish, it occurred to me just how often I use black beans. I was writing this blog post in my head while I was cooking, something I do quite a bit in the kitchen, and I was kind of trying to pick an approach.  Generally, I have…

Far Eastern Salad

In the last post, I mentioned that this salad was requested by my sister as a ‘must eat’ when she was here with me.  The funny thing was that even though I used to eat this about once a month myself, the past few years, I kinda forgot about it.  When she…
