Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. It was 52 degrees in our bedroom this morning. Somehow opening a window ever so slightly seemed like a fine idea at bedtime. Brrrr. So while I lay snuggled deeply into my bed I did a mental inventory of the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. If there was one thing that would get me out from under the covers, it was breakfast.

Mardi Gras Whole Roasted Chicken
Mardi Gras Whole Roasted Chicken. This fabulous Mardi Gras Seasoning Blend is a top secret recipe. At least it was until now. We went into test kitchen mode this week working on the perfect blend of spices so that we could recreate Publix Super Market Mardi Gras Wings. Why just season the wings, when you can do the whole bird?!

Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella
Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella. I have seen some wonderful recipes lately for slow roasting tomatoes, like this one by The Foodie Physician. By cooking them low and slow you get a rich tomato flavor. They then can be used in dishes as you would sundried tomatoes. Delicious.

The trout was so fresh and beautiful at the seafood counter today that I couldn’t resist, even without a plan for how to prepare it. Pan sautéed trout is what first came to mind. I have a weakness for this wonderfully mild fish, especially when it’s sautéed in butter. To kick it up I decided on Pecan-Crusted Trout, which fit right in with our low-carb eating.

Cajun Jambalaya Skewers
I had such fun making our Low-Country Boil Skewers that I thought we’d try a new twist. Meet Cajun Jambalaya Skewers. Since I’ve read that no two Jambalaya recipes are the same, I took some liberties with the ingredients. Don’t think authentic. Instead think fun and flavorful.

Sesame Chicken {Lower Sodium}
Sesame Chicken. This recipe recreation was too good not to share. We recently made a fabulous dipping sauce for some sweet potato steak fries and the key ingredients were agave nectar and soy sauce. One taste of it and my love for sesame chicken came rushing back.

This Classic Loaded Baked Potato. Popularized as a traditional side dish served with a nice juicy steak dinner. Any respectable steak house has worked nearly as hard to perfect the baked potato as they have say a Cowboy Cut Bone-In Rib Eye.
