This salad is a slightly modified version of the one on Kathleen Ashmore’s site. I LOVED this salad. I hadn’t really thought of putting lentils in a salad, but it really works. They add great texture and it really makes this salad unique. The real star of this recipe is the dressing though. The originalContinueContinue reading “Lentil Chopped Salad with Honey Pecan Dressing”

This is a bowl version of a fish taco that uses rice/coleslaw as the base, which is topped with seasoned, seared fish, veggies, herbs and a super delicious sauce.

Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps
Chinese chicken salad is one of my favorite salads. Especially the version with peanut dressing. This is a variation on that meal, where it is made into wraps. We really liked the combination of the peanut dressing and the chili mayo. These wraps had tons of flavor and lots of crisp, fresh veggies. It helpsContinueContinue reading “Chinese Chicken Salad Wraps”
Slow Roasted Salmon with Citrus Herb Vinaigrette
This is a variation on a recipe I saw on Wishbone Kitchen, and it is another really flavorful way to eat salmon. I wasn’t sure if slow roasting salmon would be worth it, since it comes out great at higher temps, but I really liked the texture of the fish cooked like this. The marinadeContinueContinue reading “Slow Roasted Salmon with Citrus Herb Vinaigrette”

Garlic Balsamic Olive Oil Dip
As mentioned in my Chicken Balsamico post, I have some amazing balsamic and garlic oil that my mom sent from Michigan and my kids had been asking to have it with some homemade bread, so I made some fresh baguettes and this garlic balsamic olive oil dip to have with a charcuterie board. This dipContinueContinue reading “Garlic Balsamic Olive Oil Dip”
Turkey Taco Salad with Jalapeno Lime Dressing
This healthier version of a taco salad has Mexican spiced ground turkey breast, lots of veggies, black beans, and a delicious jalapeno garlic lime dressing that really adds tons of flavor. I used both romaine and green leaf lettuce in this salad. Green and red leaf lettuce have more nutritional content than romaine does, soContinueContinue reading “Turkey Taco Salad with Jalapeno Lime Dressing”
Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree
I saw a picture of a recipe similar to this one, and thought it looked delicious. I happened to have some ricotta leftover in my fridge from chicken rollatini that I needed to use up, so this was the perfect thing to use it for. Halibut was great for this recipe, but you could alsoContinueContinue reading “Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree”
Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich
We have been trying to eat a bit healthier lately, and that makes a weekend splurge even tastier! I saw a picture of this sandwich on social media and really wanted to try it. It has Indian snack mix in it, and if you have not had Indian snack mix, you need to go onContinueContinue reading “Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich”
Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice
I saw a picture of this recipe and it looked so satisfying. It is a pretty simple meal, but I like the combination of highly spiced, grilled chicken, cheese sauce and rice. Ideally you should always marinate chicken breasts the day before, unless the marinade contains a lot of citrus or vinegar, in which caseContinueContinue reading “Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice”
