This salad has so many tasty things. Tender, flaky salmon with bbq glaze, spicy arugula, crunchy roasted chickpeas, herbs, and homemade ranch. Yummy! This a super fast to put together if you have roasted the chickpeas ahead of time. Does anyone else love roasted chickpeas as much as I do? Their texture is so satisfying.ContinueContinue reading “BBQ Salmon Salad with Roasted Chickpeas and Ranch”

Roast Beef Po’ Boy
This recipe comes from Anthony Bourdain’s Appetites cookbook. It is a simple beef roast thinly sliced in it’s own gravy, on a roll with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. So simple, but SO good! I don’t think you can do this sandwich justice in describing it. We’ve had po’ boys in New Orleans, and itContinueContinue reading “Roast Beef Po’ Boy”
Chicken and Veggie Kabobs
We usually think of kabobs as a dinner option in the summer, since they are typically grilled, but they taste great any time! This recipe uses a simple marinade on chunks of boneless chicken breast along with lots of yummy veggies. Veggies with some char from the grill are one of the best ways toContinueContinue reading “Chicken and Veggie Kabobs”
Sichuan Beef
Sichuan beef is another quick and easy but super flavorful meal that is perfect for a weeknight. This recipe is from Woks of Life and I love pretty much all their recipes. Most of the flavor in this dish comes from the spicy bean paste, which you can buy here. It is important to theContinueContinue reading “Sichuan Beef”

The baseContinueContinue reading “Chopped Salad with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing”

You can makeContinueContinue reading “Moroccan Meatball Soup with Israeli Couscous”
Sirloin Kebabs
I have been making these marinated sirloin kebabs for years, but I tend to make them only for camping trips. They are great make ahead option because you can marinate and skewer the meat and veggies ahead of time and just grill when ready. We haven’t had a chance to go camping since the spring,ContinueContinue reading “Sirloin Kebabs”
Fried Bologna Sandwich
Who else grew up eating bologna sandwiches as a lunch box staple? I liked them fine as a kid, but wasn’t overly impressed. This fried bologna sandwich is a step up from the soggy brown bag lunch version of childhood. The bread is toasted, the bologna is nicely fried, and it is served on myContinueContinue reading “Fried Bologna Sandwich”
Spinach and Artichoke Galette
I love making galettes. They seem fancy, but are actually way easier to make than pies, and you can fill them with pretty much anything you like, sweet or savory. This spinach and artichoke galette is based on the Half Baked Harvest one, but as always I have a few tweaks. The crust for thisContinueContinue reading “Spinach and Artichoke Galette”
