We have babies.  Hydroponic Herb Babies.  And today was our first harvest, Basil.  We used the most tender delicious basil leaves in this Lemon Basil Shrimp & Pasta recipe I found in Cooking Light. Continue reading »

Crab Louie Sliders

Crab Louie Salad Sliders.

The Crab Louie Salad has been around for over 100 years and first became popular on the West Coast of the United States (or was it King Louie himself who first dined on this salad…the world may never know).  The salad consists of crisp lettuce, sliced tomato, hard boiled eggs, ripe olives, sometimes asparagus….and of course gorgeous crab meat which is tossed in Crab Louie Dressing.

Roasted Lemon & Artichoke Chicken

Roasted Lemon & Artichoke Chicken.

We were looking for an easy weeknight meal that could be made from ingredients already on hand.  We like to keep boneless skinless chicken breasts in our freezer.  We buy them in bulk, trim them of any fat, then lightly pound them to an even thickness before freezing them flat in bags of two.  When we’re ready to use them we just thaw and create our meal.

Turkey Piccata

Jennie-O’s Ground Turkey, Italian Turkey Sausage, and All Natural Turkey Breast Tenderloins are all staples at our house, especially when we’re in Healthy Living mode…which is probably in order more often than not :)  I originally made this Turkey Piccata recipe a couple years ago when I was a die-hard Weight Watchers girl.  This dish has no lack of flavor but by simply exercising portion control AND measuring the added fats (as in measuring spoon) it can be a very figure friendly meal.  Continue reading »

Salmon Mirabella over Toasted Israeli Couscous

I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with my new friend and fellow food lover Sandi-A New York Foodie.  She’s invited me to do a guest post on her blog, which will be a first for me.  I’ve chosen Salmon Marbella, because in a round about way, this dish brought us together.

Lemony Thyme was actually the inspiration for this dish….which feels kind of cool.  Coming off a full week of Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry we treated ourselves to a nice big piece of salmon.  We tossed ideas back and forth on how we would prepare it but made no progress.  I called up our love food photography… page and perused it until I landed on Chicken Marbella….why not.  The ingredients work well with salmon (and we happen to have them on hand), in fact those punchy flavors coupled with the natural salmon oils might just be amazing.  Yes, it shall be Salmon Marbella over Toasted Israeli Couscous for dinner.
