Grilled Salmon Kebabs
These lovely grilled salmon and lemon kabobs are delicious and easy to make – with mega omegas in every bite! Seasoned with fresh herbs, lemon, and spices and grilled to perfection.
Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread
This banana bread is moist and delicious, made with white whole wheat flour, sweet roasted strawberries and ripe bananas, with just a smidgen of butter, so you can enjoy a slice without the guilt!
I had some bananas that were getting brown and I was really in the mood for banana bread, so I combined the two for a delicious quick bread. You can turn these into muffins if you prefer. In the past I attempted this recipe, but the strawberries released too much liquid which made the bread a little too moist. Roasting the strawberries is the perfect solution, most of the liquid dries out from roasting so you get the flavor of the strawberries in every bite.
Garlic Lover’s Roast Beef
Vampires beware, there’s garlic in every bite! And if that’s not enough garlic, I like to serve this with roasted broccoli with smashed garlic and skinny mashed potatoes… in my house, there’s never too much garlic.
Roast Beef Sandwich with Melted Cheese and Caramelized Onions
I wish this photo could capture how delicious this sandwich is. I made a few attempts at photographing this, but the photo can’t capture how sweet these caramelized onions are and how perfect they taste with yesterday’s leftover garlic infused roast beef and melted Swiss cheese. Read more…
Tropical Fruit Salad Recipe
This tropical fruit salad, made with fresh papaya, mango, pineapple, bananas and grated coconut is the best tasting fruit salad… EVER!!
It makes a great big bowl, big enough to feed a crowd so it’s perfect to bring to a picnic, potluck or to serve at a backyard BBQ. This is easy enough for anyone to make – if you can use a knife, you can make this salad. The bananas are added just before serving so they don’t turn brown.
Grilled Chicken and Zucchini Yakitori
I love these Japanese inspired grilled chicken and zucchini skewers marinated with yakitori sauce and threaded onto bamboo sticks with green onions. They are perfect as an appetizer if you’re having a backyard bash this summer, or you can turn it into a meal any night of the week served with rice, salad or more vegetables.
Yakitori reminds me of my college days in Soho living on a student budget. Me and my BFF Gabbie used to meet 3 to 4 times a week after class at this cute little Japanese restaurant in the Village where paper origami birds hung from the ceiling and Japanese music played in the background. I didn’t have much money then, so I usually ordered the chicken yakitori off the appetizer menu which always came with white rice… a perfectly good meal when you’re broke.
Just Peachy Green Smoothie
At least 3 to 4 days a week, I start my morning with a green smoothie because it’s a quick way to enjoy a nutritious breakfast without having to cook a thing. Just throw everything in the blender and breakfast is ready in less than a minute. I especially love this time of year when stone fruits are in season, especially sweet juicy peaches. Read more…
