Guacamole Bacon Cheeseburger

Yesterday I posted my list of 4th of July Recipes however, I have a few more that I plan on sharing with you this week. First and foremost, I realized that my list did not include the all mighty burger, which will probably be present at many 4th of July parties this week. But I [...]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken

After raving about our favorite Indian restaurant Ryan and I were able to get one of our friends to go. This friend, mind you, is lactose intolerant. After looking at the menu, I assured her that there were plenty of things that she could order, after all their menu didn’t indicate that there was any [...]

Cajun Popcorn Shrimp Sandwich

Cajun Popcorn Shrimp Sandwich

Last week I shared a recipe for Cajun Popcorn Shrimp that reminded me of my childhood. This week I thought I would add another twist to the recipe. I decided to place these crunchy little devils on a sandwich. Inspired by the classic New Orleans dish the Shrimp Po’ Boy, this french bread sandwich is [...]

Creamy Shrimp and Scallop Pasta

Creamy Shrimp and Scallop Pasta

Something about the hot sunny weather makes me want to eat better. I have been proud of myself lately. I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, cutting back on the fried foods and the trips to Taco Bell. Perhaps it was all of this healthy eating and the fact that it was [...]

Roasted Garlic and Mozzarella Meatballs with Tomato-Basil Marinara

Now if that is not enough, imagine these same tender cheesy, garlicky meatballs [...]

Lemon Pepper Chicken

A friend of mine is on this super strict diet and one of the only things he can eat is chicken breasts. His go to method of cooking? Boiling. Not because of the requirements, but because of a lack of recipes.  Now I don’t know about you but after a month, heck even a week [...]

Linguinie with Prawns, Spinach, Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

For those of you that are shying away from this recipe because of the words, “goat cheese”, you are not alone. I know many people who cringe at the words and refuse to eat anything with goat cheese listed as an ingredient. I don’t know if its because they tried it and didn’t like it [...]

It’s finally Friday! I am very much looking forward to this weekend, not that I am doing anything too out of the ordinary. I plan to just relax, maybe spend some time in the sun, catch up on some reading and maybe even a Mariner game. But no matter what we decide to do, I [...]

Marinated Beef and Veggie Skewers

Marinated Beef and Veggie Skewers

Whether you call them skewers or shish-kabobs, food on a stick is always a popular summer time food. They are easy to assemble, cook and eat.  You can pretty much put anything on a skewer, grill it and I will devour it. For this recipe I marinated some tender top sirloin in a mixture of [...]
