Ahi Tuna Noodle Casserole {with a Lemony Thyme Sauce}
I recently got on a kick of looking for ways to ‘Deconstruct’ recipes. It seemed like a cool way to present a dish and the couple I have posted were quite fun. Next up on my ‘to-be-deconstructed’ list was Tuna Noodle Casserole. A comfort food dish that many of us grew up on (whether you liked it or not). My thought was to build the layers of flavor thoughtfully using top quality ingredients to deliver a bowl of comfort. I think I’ve succeeded with this one.

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I’m in a bit of a quandary. I’ve made the decision to improve my health by making some small changes. No fads or gimmicks. No big investments. I’m following the plan that has worked for me in the past. Eat right and exercise knucklehead. Pretty simple concept, that over time never seems to fail. I started on the plan three weeks ago today and I can’t tell you how much better I feel.

Halibut in Roasted Romesco Sauce {over Pasta}
Halibut in Roasted Romesco Sauce over Pasta. Now that was a fabulous meal. I sampled Romesco Sauce recently and fell in love with it. I immediately added it to my ‘must make soon’ list and am so glad I did. The best way I can describe this sauce is as roasted red pepper pesto. It’s nutty, with big bold flavors and is so versatile.

Romesco Sauce
Presenting Romesco Sauce. Think roasted red pepper pesto. It’s nutty, with big bold flavors and is so versatile. This sauce can be served on pasta, as a dip for fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches. But where we see Romesco really shine is when it’s paired with seafood.

Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary}
Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary} We recently attended a “Stock the Bar” Wedding Shower for the daughter of our good friends. One of the libations being served was a beautiful batch of Sangria, loaded with fresh berries and fruits. I eat (in this case drink) with my eyes first and that Sangria called me, by name.

Mango Salsa
Mango Salsa. You really ought to give fresh fruit a chance. I know I’m preaching to the choir for many of you, but there are a good number of people who don’t want to be bothered with fruit. Ahem.

Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs {with Mango Salsa}
Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs. To quote my in-house taste-tester, “This is a flavor WIN.” I’ll take that as a thumbs up. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs marinated in a jalapeno orange marinade, then grilled to perfection. So delicious and as a bonus, figure friendly.
