Black bean tacos with garlic red cabbage slaw

Posted on June 22, 2016 | 6 comments

For a while, my family and I were hooked on my fish tacos recipe. We would eat them every week. I always had red cabbage in the fridge to top them with zesty slaw. We are not tired of the fish tacos yet, but it is good to switch things up sometimes. These black bean tacos with garlic red cabbage slaw are a regular in our rotation now. They are perfect for summer because they don’t take much time to make, which leaves more time for fun! Continue reading →

Blue Cheese Wedge Salad with Veggie Bacon

Posted on April 29, 2016 | Leave a comment

I love to eat salads at restaurants. They are always so much more indulgent than the salads I tend to make at home. After trying blue cheese wedge salad at many restaurants, I couldn’t resist remaking the recipe at home.

This salad recipe is made with iceburg lettuce. This is the only time I use iceburg in my kitchen. Other lettuces don’t hold up to my standards for a wedge.

The crispness and texture are perfect, and I can indulge in my blue cheese obsession. The only true down side to iceburg lettuce is that it is not nutritious like other leafy greens. Continue reading →

Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing

Some girls are over the moon chocolate fans. Or they swoon over a slice of decadent cake, or a soft and chewy cookie. I’m not that well acquainted with my sweet tooth. It’s there, but when I crave something indulgent, it is usually savory. This blue cheese dressing comes to the rescue for me. Sharp, salty and creamy, and all the more, ready and waiting to dress a salad or dunk a veggie stick! Yum! Continue reading →

Do you ever find yourself short on a few meal ideas at the end of the week? Sometimes the meals I plan don’t go as far as I think they will and I’m left scrambling to pull a meal out of my pantry ingredients so that I won’t have to make an extra stop at the grocery store (read: have more impulse buys on food that I don’t need!). Broccoli cheddar hand pockets were designed on just such an occasion. Continue reading →
