Shrimp Scampi This right here was where it all began… my first signature dish! I still remember the first time I had it. My grandmother made it one Sunday for a family dinner. That memory is so strong that every time I make it, I’m right back at the table taking the first bite. You… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi
Summer Shrimp Sauté with Rice and Beans Tonight was one of those nights where I felt as if lifting my knife was equivalent to lifting 50 pounds. I came home from work physically and mentally drained with no plan.. my mind was blank for the first time in a long time. As I was reaching into the pantry to pull out some cheerios… Continue reading Summer Shrimp Saute
BBQ Sauce and Slaw I live by the statement “homemade is better” pretty much everyday, but this is exceptionally true especially when it comes to BBQ sauce! Now, I’m no BBQ pit master, but I do have to say I make a pretty mean sauce and can whip up a spread that gives the impression I slaved for days when… Continue reading Sweet and Tangy BBQ with a side of slaw
Avocado Artichoke Salad I have a lot of favorites on this site (I mean why would I share anything less) but THIS salad always takes the cake. Each time I make it I’m reminded why I love it so much, which then leads to a week long binge because I just can’t get enough! It’s… Continue reading Avocado Artichoke Salad
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing There is ONE thing a salad must always have… homemade dressing! Not only is fresh dressing so much more flavorful than its counter part, it is also wayyy healthier than even your “heathiest” choices (umm sitting unrefrigerated on a shelf for months at a time..no thank you)! Dressings are amazingly simple to make, and… Continue reading Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
Meatless Monday “Taco” Did you know that approximately 1,850 gallons of water is needed to produce only ONE pound of meat? That Americans consume almost 4 times the global average of animal protein? That meat production produces more greenhouse gas emissions than cars, planes, trains, and ships combined (COMBINED!)? Or that going meatless just one day a week… Continue reading Meatless Monday “Taco”
Tomato Soup I’m a huge advocate for less is more, especially when it comes to cooking! You don’t spend your time picking out the freshest ingredients for them to be covered up and their flavors masked by too many extra’s and add ins. This is one of my favorite comfort recipes. My sister and I made this… Continue reading Tomato Soup
Mediterranean Salmon Weeknight dinners made easy are my best friend. Seriously. This Mediterranean salmon took about 30 minutes start to finish. I’m talking dishes washed and put away so you can sit down and enjoy your dinner start to finish! Its quick, simple, fresh, light, basically everything you look for in dinners during the week. … Continue reading Mediterranean Salmon
Sesame Ginger Carrot Salad This is one of my all time favorite salads! It’s fresh, bright, crunchy, full of flavor, and is great as a snack or for dinner when paired with a protein ( I love it with shrimp). It is also my “go-to” meal when I don’t really feel like cooking. Between the… Continue reading Sesame Ginger Carrot Salad
White Bean Sweet Potato Turkey Chili It was a cold, rainy, gloomy Monday on the East Coast yesterday and the last thing I wanted to do after work was slave away in the kitchen ( sounds like most Mondays right?!). I wanted something comforting but not too heavy, flavorful but easy to make, and most importantly something… Continue reading Turkey Chili
