Grilled Chicken Tequila Burgers {with Cilantro-Lime Mayo}
Grilled Chicken Tequila Burgers {with Cilantro-Lime Mayo}. Recipe Inspiration. I’ve mentioned before that recipe ideas come to me in many ways. Today for example, I spent my lunch break at the hair salon, a place I love for these three reasons: first I adore my stylist and love hearing about her recent travels and life experiences; second because I always leave feeling refreshed and happy; and third because they have the best assortment of magazines!! Today I left with 16 snapshots of recipes and ideas that I MUST try. My head is spinning with fresh new visions.

Fish Fillet Sandwich {Taste Test}
Please tell me I’m not alone in my love of McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish Sandwich. I must be honest and admit I had let our relationship drift over the last several years…it’s my fault, I blame myself. However, thanks to the new “Favorites Under 400” (calories) campaign our love affair has been rekindled. I’m sure there are critics who will scoff at my admission, but in order to conduct a fair Taste Test I must inform (and warn) my competition of the nature of my personal relationship with F-O-F.

Thai Red Curry White Fish {with Squash & Zucchini}
Thai Red Curry Paste is becoming a go-to ingredient for me. It seems to find it’s way into Salmon Burgers, Meatloaf, Soups, and certainly Curry dishes. It’s a wonderful flavor…not too hot, just uniquely red curry.

Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes {Share the Love}
Had a wonderful girls lunch out at the Cheesecake Factory this past week. If you’ve ever been you know their menu is HUGE and everything sounds interesting and delicious. At our request, our server gave us a run down of her favorites from each category. She named Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes as one of her all time favorite appetizers, which was quickly seconded by the most experienced Cheesecake Factory veteran at the table. That was easy! Bring 5 forks please. Today I will use this recipe to try and lure my kid off the lake and into my kitchen.

Salsa Verde
The star ingredient in Salsa Verde is the tomatillo. Similar in appearance to a small green tomato (once their paper-like husk is removed), however with a quite different flavor. The tomatillo has a mild, almost citrus like flavor. They are great to cook with since they don’t need to be peeled or seeded. Salsa Verde is as prominent in Mexican cooking as tomato sauce is to Italian cuisine.

Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin
When I first made Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin and posted a picture in my What’s for Dinner album, I got immediate requests for the recipe. I love pesto. It’s so versatile and easy going. Never complains when you substitute sage for basil, pecans for pine nuts, aged cheddar for Parmesan. And turkey tenderloin is the perfect delivery vehicle (pork tenderloin would be delish too). So good and so moist!

Green Bean Casserole {Deconstructed}
Finding these gorgeous Haricot Verts at the Farmers’ Market warranted a special recipe. Something just as fresh with flavor as they are. Hmm…green beans, first thing that came to mind is Green Bean Casserole. Not envisioning the from a can variety but instead a bed of creamy mushroom & thyme sauce, topped with these vibrant green beans, sprinkled with crispy onions and shaved Parmesan cheese. Now that could be amazing.
