Cilantro Shrimp

Cilantro Shrimp by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a simple and absolutely delicious stir-fry shrimp dish. I've been looking for something easy and tasty like this. I have a new staple! I used a red chile sauce that we had on hand instead of the sambal oelek, and I added it selectively after stir frying to my husbands and my plates, but not to the kids plates. It was…

BBQ Pork Tenderloin - Spanish Style by John Spottiswood

Grilled Lamb Kebabs

Grilled Lamb Kebabs by John Spottiswood

These light Moroccan seasonings produce extremely flavorful lamb. They enhance the natural flavor of the lamb without overwhelming it. Whether you like your lamb medium rare or well done, you'll still love this marinade. You can marinate as little as 30-60 minutes for a light flavoring (if so, I would recommend marinating at room…

Tangy Blue Cheese, Fruit and Nut Appetizers

Tangy Blue Cheese, Fruit and Nut Appetizers by Kristi Rimkus

This is such a colorful appetizer. In reality, it's a deconstructed version of a very popular spinach salad, usually served with fruit, dried cranberries and a vinaigrette. Creamy blue cheese, dried cranberries and toasted walnuts top endive, or apple slices. Easy and delicious!

Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms

Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms by Melissa & Alex

A basic weeknight staple, I found this recipe on food.com (which claims it was originally a Weight Watchers recipe). A few tweaks based on what we had in the house, and a satisfying--and not dry!--chicken dinner was born. Original recipe available here: http://www.food.com/recipe/balsamic-chicken-and-mushrooms-54726
