A salad I whipped up for dinner tonight. I served this salad with Filet Mignon and fresh bread sticks from the bakery but it could easily go with just about any meat dish or could even be the main course as it is fairly hearty and filling. I recommend you use it as at least a side dish, as using it for a pre-dinner salad might be a bit too heavy ( Read more... )

Last week we decided to do some grilling.. nothing special, nothing new, but the highlight of the meal was a new side dish recipe I decided to try. This one was SO good, the flavors were really delicious!

This was really easy and had great flavors. Forgot to take the picture after the extra sauce was put on the chicken (also forgot to slice up the extra oranges I bought!), but you get the idea. We served ours with some grilled peppers and butter herb rice on the side. It was good!

Say what you will about traditional/non-traditional pasta primavera, but this was really good and I'm very much wishing I had some more now, after looking at the picture! I think we're going to have to make it again this weekend.

This could not be easier - in fact, it's a "microwaved" dinner (yes can you believe it?!) except for the rice.. , and it was really really good. I guess you could technically cook this on a skillet too but we thought we'd follow the recipe at least once. It reminded me of the cashew chicken dish I used to get from our favorite Thai place back in ( Read more... )

I'm still trying to gain my tastebuds for seafood.. I don't mind crab, so crab cakes made their way onto our menu last night!

I didn't feel like spending oodles of money on ingredients for them, so we pretty much made everything (such as the mango chutney) at home. We served them with mango salsa, some mashed red potatoes, and sauteed zucchini.
