Herb Deviled EggsI never met a deviled egg I didn’t like. Seriously, I love all versions of this classic summer potluck staple!

The plank not only keeps the fish moist because it protects it from the direct heat of the grill, but it infuses the salmon with a wonderful smoky flavor. The tangy Spanish-inspired roasted red… |

Salsa Verde Eggs BenedictMy mom loves Eggs Benedict so next time I see her, I’ll be making her this Mexi-inspired version of it! In this recipe, salsa verde (a green tomatillo-based salsa) replaces the traditional hollandaise sauce, and the black olives and fresh cilantro add another layer of fresh flavor.I suggest warming the Canadian bacon before adding it… |
