Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burgers
Is there anything better than a good burger? Okay yes… there are some things, but on the rare occasion that we actually make beef burgers (vs. turkey or salmon) they are such a huge treat. Whether you lay them on a bed of greens or perched on a toasted onion roll they are amazing. Top them with a slice of nutty pungent Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and a couple of strips of crispy bacon…. Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burgers = WINNING!!

Sautéed Mushrooms
Caramelizing mushrooms brings out their rich deep flavor and makes them a wonderful add to sauces or beautiful on top of meats and burgers.

Bloody Caesar Spicy Shrimp Shooters
First it was the Green Bloody Mary, then the Bloody Mary Dressing for our Avocado & Shrimp Salad….both which inspired these Bloody Caesar Spicy Shrimp Shooters.

Bloody Mary Dressing {with Shrimp & Avocado Salad}
Nothing like a good spicy Bloody Mary to wake up the taste buds and catch your attention. Gosh I love them. Now that the whole world is caught in a smoothie, vegenator, super blender craze I envision the Bloody Mary reborn. We’ve already fallen in love with Green Bloody Mary’s and recently enjoyed a version made with Sake as well. I think I need to dedicate an entire post to Bloody Mary’s or better yet cocktail inspired recipes, but for today we’ll focus on this lovely Bloody Mary Dressing.

Green Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary has come a long way baby from tomato juice & vodka. The myriad of spices and seasonings and sauces that can transform this drink is endless. If I only owned a juicer….just think how cool and colorful Mary could become (hint hint). Today we’ll stick with our every day humble blender and create a fresh crisp Green Bloody Mary.

Shark Kebabs {aka Shark Bites}
Today I was given the challenge of coming up with a Shark recipe. Yes I said Shark…as in Jaws (but smaller, teeth removed). What came home from the store was a fresh Shark fillet and a vote of confidence, “I know you’ll come up with something good…and shouldn’t everyone try shark at least once?!” And so the recipe research began. After reading many I began to see a pattern….powerful punchy flavors. Not sure what we’re covering up but I’m all in. Welcome Shark Kebabs with Orange-Avocado Salsa served over Spiced Cashew Rice. Thank you Epicurious and Food & Wine for these great recipes.

Spiced Cashew Rice
Aaah the aromas….they’re dancing through my kitchen. As soon as I lifted the lid a smile came across my face. The sight was beautiful, like an apple pie fresh from the oven beautiful.

Baked Eggs in Bread Bowls {Sunday Brunch}
I’m always searching for new and fun breakfast ideas. I don’t recall what I typed in the search field that returned this recipe, but with just one look I was hooked. Baked Eggs in Bread Bowls…Sunday Brunch couldn’t get here soon enough.

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.
