Happy National Egg McMuffin Day!

So whether you’ve got a little extra time to make your own like I did this morning or you’re supporting your favorite local breakfast joint….don’t miss an opportunity to celebrate this beloved breakfast sandwich!!

Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl.
I went to Pet Smart during lunch to replenish Lilah’s food. Pet Smart is very close to Pier One. I was smack in the middle of Healthy Lunch Bowl Week. They sell really pretty bowls.

The things you dream of while laying in bed waiting for the first dog to stir. Naan Flatbread is so versatile and delicious. My favorite way to use it is as pizza crust. Just add your favorite toppings and bake. On this morning we turned naan into Bacon, Egg & Cheese Flatbread Pizza. Got two thumbs up for this one. Felt a bit guilty accepting praises when it took little to no effort but I got over that ;)

Spicy Shrimp & Spinach Quesadilla. Sometimes you have a dish at a restaurant that needs to be recreated. Typically it’s because that dish becomes engrained on your taste buds…..in a good way.

For the past few days I have been pondering what to make for Sunday dinner. On Friday we declared it would be Seafood Lasagna. As I prepared to head to the grocery store on Sunday morning, there was an abrupt change of plans. “You know what, pick up a Ribeye for dinner. That would be a lot easier than the lasagna.” As you wish. Hmmp. Since when has easy been my reason for cooking? I surprised them with Seafood Lasagna Roll-Ups as an appetizer.

I declared I would share a different Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe each day for the entire month of April, also known as National Grilled Cheese Month. While we had a good amount in the archives we’ve had to put on our creative recipe hats to fill out our offering. What a month!! Are you ready? Recipe links are below each photo. Enjoy!!

I love this combination so much that I got up bright and early one morning with the sole intention of making a pot of chili…so that I could picture it on top of this Perfectly Baked Potato. Continue reading »

We’ll all be looking for ways to use up some leftover roast turkey (or chicken). Why look further than classic Turkey Divan. Creamy sauce poured over roasted turkey and steamed broccoli then baked to into amazing. It’s a comfort food classic and when it’s time for another Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week, you’ll be glad to have this recipe on hand.

We had a good old fashioned Lunch Counter Style Chef’s Salad for dinner last night. It had been years since I’ve had one. Once the salad revolution transformed how we view salads, some of the old standards have been slowly forgotten. I can say with certainty that there’s a reason the Chef’s Salad was on most menus for decades. It’s delicious and a completely satisfying meal.
