Flavorful Fridays: Spring Mix Salad with Gorgonzola & AppleOne of my absolute favorite salads is one that my mom has made for years, and I have no idea where she got this salad. It is extremely simple and quick to put together, but it has a depth of flavor and heartiness to it that I can’t get enough of. I could make an entire meal out of this salad. I hope you enjoy this salad as much as my… |

Linguine with Shrimp and Lemon OilWhen work gets really crazy, I have a hard time mustering the energy to come up with a creative and delicious menu after a long day of work. Most often during times of busyness, our dinner menu consists of a pretty basic dinner–something easy like chicken, rice, and salad; or something even easier such as ordering pizza from down the… |

Flavorful Fridays: Salad with Citrus VinaigretteAs I mentioned last week, summer is the best time for fresh salads. The markets are overflowing with fresh produce, which is perfect for creating flavorful and nutritious salads. One of my best resources for delicious salads is my aunt. I give her credit for introducing me to salads that break the “just veggies” rule and combine… |

Apricot CrispOne of the best things about summer is all the fresh fruit. I love going to the farmers’ market and buying local, in season fruit. Aside from eating it fresh from the market as the perfect snack or accompaniment to breakfast, I love making crisps and pies. Add a little ice cream, and it is the most refreshing summer treat. I found… |

Flavorful Fridays: Spinach Salad with Strawberries & KiwiI love summertime. The weather gets warmer, the meals get lighter. Summer feels like it is my break from big meals; because the warmer the weather, the less we feel like sitting down to a heavy meal. This means that I can serve a big salad and not get too many complaints. One of my favorite salads is a spinach salad with strawberries… |

Flavorful Fridays: Hearty BreadsticksBread is often a staple of any meal in our home. It makes a delicious way to sop up extra sauce and dressing, and it comes in handy as an additional utensil (better than using your fingers and tastier than using a knife to help get those little straggling pieces of food onto the fork). A couple nights ago I had a hankering for… |

Flavorful Fridays: Chicken PiccataI know I’ve mentioned before that my family likes to eat meat, but the meat we eat most frequently is chicken. On the majority of weekday nights that I decide to cook chicken breasts, I usually cook them on the stove top with a little olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper for flavor. These three simple ingredients really give it all the… |

Spinach & Ricotta PastaWith how busy life has been–work projects, weekend travels, and cake decorating–I haven’t really had time or energy to experiment with our dinner menu. This has also led to a more sporadic turn in my weekly meal planning and grocery shopping. So last week, as it was getting rather late for dinner, I rummaged through the cupboards and… |

Flavorful Fridays: Risotto alla MilaneseWhat is Lombardian cuisine without their traditional risotto alla milanese? This risotto dish contains saffron which offers a light and distinct flavor to the creamy rice. Will still prefers the risotto with sausage or prosciutto, but the risotto with saffron is a nice dish to add to the mix of dinner options.Risotto alla… |
