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.

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.

Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs {with Mango Salsa}
Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs. To quote my in-house taste-tester, “This is a flavor WIN.” I’ll take that as a thumbs up. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs marinated in a jalapeno orange marinade, then grilled to perfection. So delicious and as a bonus, figure friendly.

Smoky Shrimp Diablo {with Baked Eggs}
Smoky Shrimp Diablo {with Baked Eggs}. We’re dabbling with some new recipes. Full of flavor and of course fresh herbs. I ran across a recipe for Baked Eggs in Smoky Tomato Sauce…which became the base for this fabulous recipe.

Grilled Swordfish with Lima Bean & Herb Butter
Grilled Swordfish with Lima Bean & Herb Butter. I haven’t always loved Swordfish. I remember it being dry and underwhelming, so frankly I avoided it. Too many other choices that I knew I loved. I’ve shared recently that fish speak to me. There’s really no other way to explain how I can approach a massive row of freshness and choose….that one, I’ll have that piece of fish. That’s what happened the day I fell in love with Swordfish.

Boursin Garlic & Herb Spread
I’m not sure when Boursin Spread became so popular, but as a child I can remember it being served with crackers and other nibbles in the 5 o’clock hour. What I don’t recall was if my mom made it herself or bought it. Flash forward 20 years and I’m certain my sister made it from scratch. She has always been creative and confident in the kitchen. I believe a bit of that has worn off on me.

Veal Marsala
I love this dish. Veal Marsala is a favorite Italian dish.

Salmon with Roasted Vegetable Orzo
Salmon with Roasted Vegetable Orzo. Sharing a nice simple dinner we enjoyed recently. Not much to the recipe, but sometimes a little inspiration is all you need. Have fun with it. Season your salmon the way you love it, roast it with a few of your favorite summer veggies, and serve over a bed a orzo pasta.

Tandoori Marinade
Tandoori Marinade is classically used to make Tandoori Chicken. However, the Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower was fabulous. Stay tuned for future Tandoori dishes.

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
We love Caesar Salad. For these reasons. Homemade Croutons and Caesar Dressing. I’m just being honest. Yes, we enjoy the lovely crunch of romaine lettuce, and the nutty saltines of fresh shaved Parmesan cheese. We even add warm boiled eggs, which are incredible on this salad. But it all comes back to the Homemade Croutons and Caesar Salad Dressing.
