Shrimp & Summer Vegetable Farro Salad
Shrimp & Summer Vegetable Farro Salad. Farro. Do you know it? I just discovered this beautiful grain and am a bit smitten. Besides it’s slightly nutty flavor and wonderful texture which I adored, it’s also high in fiber and packed with vitamins and magnesium (which has health benefits of it’s own, especially for women). Now combine Farro with fresh summer veggies and protein packed shrimp and you’ve got a power meal that will keep you satisfied.

Cajun Salmon & Sweet Potato Chowder
The inspiration to make this bowl of love came from these five beautiful words… Cajun Salmon & Sweet Potato Chowder. That was enough for me to go buy a beautiful piece of salmon and get to work.

Savory Parmesan & Herb Walnut Biscotti
We’ve been making a big pot of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup each week. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy fresh produce and gives us a healthy option for lunch or dinner throughout the week. Since we’ll be having soup for lunch today I decided to make these Savory Parmesan & Herb Walnut Biscotti to serve on the side.

Shrimp Po-Boy {Oh Boy!}
Shrimp Po Boy. Oh Boy! The words ‘Fried Shrimp’ drifted through the office the other day. I could hear the excitement build, as one by one people shared their love of fried shrimp. Boy wouldn’t I love a nice big plate of succulent fried shrimp. Better yet, wouldn’t I love a nice big Shrimp Po-Boy.

Loaded Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Loaded Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. As in…don’t hold back on the veggies. This was a fabulous way to work through the last few fresh veggies that needed to be eaten before it was back to the Farmers Market on Wednesday. This included a gorgeous head of cabbage that I was persuaded to buy (I just love farmers).

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.
