My local Sam’s Club has been carrying some really great quality Salmon for the last 6 months or so. I love salmon and am always looking for interesting ways to prepare it. I saw this Honey Mustard Salmon with Avocado Basil Sauce on Half Baked Harvest and immediately wanted to try it. Check out myContinue reading “Honey Mustard Salmon + Avocado Basil Sauce + Blistered Tomatoes”

Flavorful Beef Rouladen
My family loves German food. We always get super excited when traveling if we find a German restaurant. I want to expand my knowledge of German cooking, but is hard not to make our favorites. My kids most frequently ask for sauerbraten, but these beef rouladen are a close 2nd. I am not going toContinue reading “Flavorful Beef Rouladen”
Quick Vietnamese Cucumber and Roasted Peanut Salad
Does anyone else struggle with getting enough fruit and veggies into their family’s diet? My kids love fruit, and I love vegetables, but it still feels like are never eating as many as you are supposed to. In the interest of time I often fall back on basics like steamed broccoli or green beans. NoContinue reading “Quick Vietnamese Cucumber and Roasted Peanut Salad”
Hot Buttered Pretzels + Creamy Cucumber Salad
My kids are addicted to these hot buttered pretzels from King Arthur Flour. They are soft and buttery, and kind of roll like. The pretzels are not dipped in lye like the soft pretzels you get at theme parks or the movies (although I do want to try that soon). They are quick and easyContinue reading “Hot Buttered Pretzels + Creamy Cucumber Salad”
Sauerbraten, Spätzle and Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage
This is one of our all time favorite meals. It doesn’t really get more perfect than the combo of tender, meaty beef and flavorful gravy, creamy spätzle, and the hit of sweet and sour from the cabbage. This is a dish that has variations by region and person, and I have never tried another version,Continue reading “Sauerbraten, Spätzle and Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage”
Leek Orzo with Fried Eggs and Beet and Carrot Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
We have quite a few chickens. They make cute pets, which was a surprise to me when we started keeping them. If you raise them from chicks, they know your voice and they will come if called, just like a dog or cat. It is so cute! Plus they lay tasty eggs. I’m always lookingContinue reading “Leek Orzo with Fried Eggs and Beet and Carrot Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing”
White Chicken Chili with Pan Seared Asparagus
This is new recipe I am trying for white chicken chili that I adapted from Pinch of Yum (link at the bottom). Love her site! It’s different than other chicken chili recipes I’ve made before because it has bacon in it! We love bacon, so this is a plus. I modified the recipe and didContinue reading “White Chicken Chili with Pan Seared Asparagus”
Breakfast Tacos with Guacamole and Parmesan Roasted Vegetables
I have mentioned before that I like to make breakfast for dinner, and I think I do it now more than ever, because my chickens lay so many eggs and I’m always looking for ways to make use of them. I love breakfast tacos. They are so versatile (you can pretty much throw anything inContinue reading “Breakfast Tacos with Guacamole and Parmesan Roasted Vegetables”
Bodega Sandwich with Artichoke Salad
This the world’s easiest and fastest dinner, and it is super simple, but so tasty! This recipe was adapted from Anthony Bourdain’s Appetites cookbook. I use homemade deli rolls for this, but you could easily use any store bought roll or bread. This sandwich is great with some hot sauce on it too. I usuallyContinue reading “Bodega Sandwich with Artichoke Salad”
Mapo Chicken with Rice and Quick Kimchi Cucumbers
This dish is inspired by the delicious Mapo Tofu, but uses boneless chicken breast pieces instead. It is savory and spicy, in the tongue tingling way that only Sichuan peppercorns produce. It should be served on white rice, and adding a pickled component on the side really rounds out the flavors. You can find theContinue reading “Mapo Chicken with Rice and Quick Kimchi Cucumbers”
