Chopped Mediterranean Salad with Lemon Herb Vinaigrette
I love this Mediterranean Chopped Salad because you can make a giant bowl and eat on it for days! Or in our case you can make it two days in a row because it’s that good!! We’re definitely on a salad kick right now and I’m loving it. And my body is pretty stoked too!

Salmon Marbella {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……

Cowboy Caviar & A Country Christmas Party
Whipped up a batch of Cowboy Caviar in honor of tonight’s Country Christmas themed Annual Company Party. I can not wait. While we work (and play) hard all throughout the year, the Christmas Party is a chance to spend an evening with my second family and their spouses. And inevitably make memories that will last us until next year’s party :) Did I mention, I can not wait!

Triple Olive Tapenade {with Roasted Red Pepper}
Leftover olives…what to do? what to do? A quick search found this fabulous tapenade recipe by Former Chef. The recipe calls for kalamata, green, and Californa ripe olives but you can use any combination you have on hand. The ripe olives add a nice balance to the punchy kalamatas. You’ll also want to add roasted red pepper. These can be bought in a jar but roasting them at home is super easy.

Chicken Marbella
We were first introduced to Chicken Marbella at a dinner party. Not just any dinner party, but a monthly affair that revolved around a different theme chosen by the host couple. We were each assigned a course and often a specific recipe to bring together to share.
