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.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries {Cajun Herb Seasoned}
Baked Sweet Potato Fries are almost a staple for us. There’s something so addicting about the sweet heat that comes from the sweetness of the potato combined with the Cajun herb seasoning. Any time we’re having burgers or anything else that pairs well with fries, we’ll likely turn to these.

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.

Mushroom Thyme Haricot Verts
Mushroom Thyme Haricot Verts. Haricot Verts, French for “green beans” are so wonderfully tender. They are absent of the strings that can make preparing green beans a chore and are easily recognized by their long slender shape. It’s such a treat to find these at the Farmers Markets and when I do I can’t help but buy pounds of them. Be prepared for a series of recipe posts incorporating my favorite of the green bean varieties.

Blueberry Goat Cheese Crostini {with Honey & Lemon}
Blueberry Goat Cheese Crostini {with Honey & Lemon} There something really wholesome about a beautiful bowl of fresh spinach and mixed greens sprinkled with the fruit of summer. That’s exactly how I’ve been enjoying my salads lately…with assorted berries, nuts & cheeses. Last week when I got to the end of several of my salad ingredients I was left with spinach, blueberries, and a bit of goat cheese. I drizzled that with balsamic vinaigrette and discovered my favorite salad of the summer.

Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb}
Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb} If my kid had a signature recipe it would have to be her Yummus Hummus. She started making it several years ago as she discovered a new passion for ‘real’ food. This recipe was something she could make completely from scratch. She actually took great pride in soaking the garbanzo beans overnight and getting up in the morning to make a batch before heading off to work. I remember always hoping she would leave a little behind for mom.

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.

Tzatziki Sauce
Tzatziki Sauce. This traditional Greek cucumber yogurt sauce is a key ingredient in a Lamb Gyro and Greek Chicken Meatballs. It also makes a wonderful dip to pair with a fresh veggie platter. Served chilled, it’s so nice and light, yet full of flavor. The fresh mint, garlic, and lemon juice play oh so nicely together. I could go on. Instead I think you should make some…you’ll love it.

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.
