If you are looking for a great way to get your family or yourself to eat more fruits or vegetables try incorporating them into your meals. I don’t mean simply serving veggies as your side. I mean really incorporate fruits and veggies into the meal. For example try adding spinach and broccoli to a fettuccine […]
It’s hard to imagine tuna salad could be made any better than it already is. As it turns out it can be. Some people like to keep their tuna salad easy and straightforward by combining tuna and mayo. Others will spruce it up a bit by adding sweet relish, Dijon mustard, a hard-boiled egg or […]
Do you find yourself to be a coleslaw fanatic? It’s a hard habit to break which is why some culinary genius in a fancy restaurant invented broccoli raisin salad. Ok, so broccoli raisin salad was not invented in a fine dining environment. A really smart person with a coleslaw fixation extend this obsession to another vegetable, […]
While on the hunt for a really unique dinner idea, I struck gold. I came across a really cool Mediterranean inspired meal thanks to Suzy from The Mediterranean Dish. I have to to admit it was really hard not to stare at her photos without my mouthwatering up. They say you should never go grocery […]
Sometimes reinventing the wheel can be a very challenging thing to do. You have to research a given recipe and or ingredients, analyze how well they will work together, and then you have to execute. That’s the process in a nutshell. Wouldn’t it be nice to draw inspiration from food that is already in existence? […]
Crab meat is highly regarded for its sweet and tender meat. Avocados are highly regarded because they go with just about any kind of food and right now their popularity stock is only skyrocketing. Actually, one of the major reasons people are overly indulging in avocados is because of their buttery flavor thanks to their […]
I always like to give a little background story on recipes that are not so common. Unless you a true gourmand, foodie, and or food connoisseur, which is basically saying the same thing three times. You may have little to no experience with the Waldorf Chicken salad. The original recipe dates back to 1896 where […]
I don’t care what people tell me. Coleslaw can and should be eaten year around. KFC serves coleslaw year around and it doesn’t seem to hinder their food sales. In fact I am personally one of those people who will eat KFC chicken just so that I can order some of their tasty slaw. The […]
Let’s be honest with ourselves. Potato salad goes great with picnics and BBQ’s. A chilled creamy potato salad sitting next to a couple slices of tri-tip, a burger, or some pulled pork is stuff poems and songs are written about (well, maybe country songs). The two problems I have with potato salad are: 1. Overcooked potatoes […]
Summer time is all about eating light. During those hot summer lunches and dinners its nice to eat something that is either refreshing or light enough to keep you from feeling extra bogged down. This corn fritter and black bean salad a la Tex-Mex is the perfect dish to help beat the summer heat. It’s […]
I love eating salads regardless of the time of year. For me and my eating habits a salad is either prior to a meal or a side dish. Not often will my entire meal be a salad but lobster cobb salad will probably change stance on the matter. This lobster cobb salad has everything you […]
If you are looking for a satisfying yet original “salad”, then you need to sink your teeth into a caprese salad. This is no ordinary caprese salad though. Typically caprese salad is just fresh mozzarella with some fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and a little olive oil. Boring! Is it tasty? Sure, but it’s also mundane […]
