Sausage, Peppers & Caramelized Onion Stromboli {a Groundhog Day Treat}
Earlier in the week, we began discussing what we would cook on Super Bowl Sunday. All the foodie websites and fb pages were alive with recipe ideas and exchanges. The possibilities ranged from good old favorites like wings and nachos to the more exotic Salmon Wraps and Filipino Spring Rolls. I had every intention of hosting a virtual Super Bowl Party on my fb page, even planned a week of recipes and posts centered around that theme. But when it came time to make the announcement….we took it in a totally different direction. Here is the Party Announcement I shared on our fb page.

Smoked Turkey & Brie Grilled Cheese with Apples & Spinach {and Apple Butter}
Recipe inspiration…hmmm toss up between one of those amazing Artisan Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (which almost implies healthy…hehe) and an unused hunk of Brie in the cheese drawer. Doesn’t really matter which because it was the Apple Butter that stole the show. Smoked Turkey & Brie Grilled Cheese with Apples & Spinach {and Apple Butter}.

Ham Bone Soup {Warm & Tasty}
This wonderful soup, that we’ve been eating for the past two days, could be made with almost any ingredients….so long as there’s a Ham Bone in the soup pot. And no matter how skilled you are at carving a ham, there is always extra meat still on the bone.

Roasted Vegetable Orzo {Featuring Delicata Squash}
Roasted Vegetable Orzo {Featuring Delicata Squash}, inspired by this wonderfully delightful recipe from 101 Cookbooks. As I’ve said many times before I eat with my eyes first and the vision of these beautiful roasted delicata squash is what drew me to this recipe.

Spinach & Avocado with Pesto Grilled Cheese
I was debating whether or not to post this sandwich. After all, it is only a sandwich. But after two days of making special trips home for lunch…because ALL I WANTED was to have only this sandwich….I think it’s worth sharing. The Spinach & Avocado with Pesto Grilled Cheese is the bomb!!

Spinach & Mushroom Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin {Applewood Smoked}
I woke up today, recognizing I was feeling really good in my pj’s and realizing my fridge had a mixed bag of unused (although thoughtfully selected) ingredients. It’s been one of those weeks….the kind that kicks you in the butt and says snap out of it. Still in my pajamas as I write this post, I am preparing Spinach & Mushroom Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin. Never left the house ergo never entered a grocery store = Winning!! And yes, I’ve snapped out of it.

Baked Cod with Montpellier Butter
Cod is a wonderfully mild white flaky fish. It’s happy seasoned with anything from fresh herbs to punchy marinades. It’s beautiful baked or grilled and when leftover it begs to be the star in a batch of fish chowder. After recently learning about freezing fresh herbs in butter or olive oil, I began to do a little compound butter research and decided Montpellier Butter would be the perfect pairing with our baked cod.

Southwest Eggrolls with Avocado Dipping Sauce {Chili’s Style}
Every time I make these Southwest Eggrolls they are a hit. And this copycat recipe gets you pretty darn close to the Chili’s restaurant version.

Orzo Salad with Peppercorn & Balsamic Poached Pears {Share the Love}
I am loving my new star ingredients from Oli+Ve, Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar. In fact I’ll be back for refills this weekend. Whenever I have the opportunity to cook for a group, small or large, I love to try something new. It’s risky (if it flops) but measuring the mmmm mmm good tells you best whether it’s a keeper or history.

Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing {Share the Love}
Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing is probably the number one dish I’m assigned for a group dinner. It’s just so darn good. I bring it willingly because I know we’ll be treated to amazing stuffed mushrooms, cheesy potato casserole, and marinated flat iron steak. We all have our dish.
