Parmesan Crusted Homemade Fish Sticks
Parmesan Crusted Homemade Fish Sticks I grew up in a very small New England town in southern New Hampshire. There was a large Catholic population which meant every Friday night was fish night in most households. And while some of my friends grumbled, I begged to be invited for dinner in hopes they’d be serving fish sticks and French fries. Loved them. Please tell me I’m not alone on this one.

Provençal Chicken {Slow Cooker Version}
Provençal Chicken is a wonderful weeknight meal. It’s light and full of flavor. Did I mention all you do is add the ingredients into your slow cooker, set it on low and go out the door and start your day. When you and your family arrive home 8 hours later….well let’s just say you’ll move up a notch on your way to rock star status.

Lamb Gyro {with Tzatziki Sauce}
Lamb Gyro with Tzatziki Sauce. One of my most favorite dishes to order from a Greek restaurant. There’s something so distinctive and special about the flavors of the heavenly sliced meat topped with the cool Tzatziki Sauce. If you love Gyros like I do then you know exactly what I’m talking about. This recipe brings all that together.

Steamed Mussels, Shrimp & Sea Scallops
Steamed Mussels Shrimp & Sea Scallops. This was last Sunday’s dinner. We posted a preview pic on facebook looking for a catchy name for this pot of love. The responses ranged from Shellfish Goodness to Seafood Delight, Call Me for Supper, and Shell-fish-pa-looza. All of which could aptly label this fabulous dish.

Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad
Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad. This is such a wonderful weeknight meal. Simple fresh ingredients that come together with ease. Glorious maple pecan encrusted salmon over a bed of crisp romaine with hard boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes, homemade croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. As delicious as you could find in a restaurant, enjoyed in the comfort of home.

Vietnamese Beef Pho
Vietnamese Beef Pho. Let me just say this about that. I don’t think I’ve ever delivered so much flavor with so little effort. When I got home from work I assembled everything I needed, put the broth and seasoning on to simmer, all in about 5 minutes. I did also pop our beef filet into the freezer, which later helped with getting a nice thin slice.

Bow Tie Chicken Salad {with Watercress Pesto}
Bow Tie Chicken Salad {with Watercress Pesto} Born out of the ingredients in our fridge/pantry, which inspired Watercress Pesto. This cold salad was the perfect lunch two days in a row. I’ve said before and I’ll say again, I think my best recipes happen when I stay out of the grocery store.
-
Mushroom & Sage Whole Roasted Chicken
Mushroom & Sage Whole Roasted Chicken. This week’s version of our whole roasted chicken was inspired by the most beautiful mushrooms and our gloriously happy sage plants. My first thought was to make a stuffing with crusty bread, fresh mushrooms, apples, sausage and sage. Then fill the cavity of this beautiful bird and let my taste buds dream of what was to come.

Crispy Chicken Legs {with Sweet Tomatoes}
I woke up early this morning, reached over for my phone to do a little surfing. I think I’m finally convinced that my fb newsfeed is equivalent to other’s ‘Google news balanced by Drudge…daily news.’ Don’t shake your head. When I make Crispy Chicken Legs with Sweet Tomatoes, because my friend Jamie Oliver suggested them, you will surely acknowledge that social media….ain’t all social. There’s great stuff out there.

Marinated Turkey Tenderloin {with Benny Sauce}
I instantly fell in love with this wonderful Benny Sauce marinade almost 15 years ago. Paired with boneless turkey breasts, it has become a favorite of mine. By the ingredients list you can see it’s full flavored and fabulous. And when I tell you that each of these ingredients smiles at you, I mean it. They wink and smile.
