'Awesome-sauce' recipes for every day of the year!
Growing up I was lucky enough to move around the world and experience food from a multitude of cultures. But throughout all of these travels my mum always made us recipes from our Scottish home. One of these was her potato salad recipe! It's less creamy than American potato salad, can be served warm or chilled, and is a little bit healthier too. Try whipping up this easy side dish for your next party or potluck!
So here in Minnesota it's still winter...and cold..and gloomy..So as a cure here is a colorful and delicious salad! The lemon zest adds a sunny flavor and the colorful vegetables make for a more interesting lunch plate. Not to mention the added benefit of some serious protein power in this dish. Enjoy!
My coworker had the excellent idea of having a potluck at work this month to get us out of our midwest winter blues. Everyone brought in delicious dishes from home and having it on a Wednesday was a great way to break up the humdrum of the week. I brought in my mango salsa (found here Mango Salsa) and Oreo cheesecake bars! They were a huge hit and now it's time to share them with you! Enjoy but beware - these are dangerously delicious!
A packet of taco seasoning can help in a pinch but making your own is cheaper and you can suit it to your own taste profile. I use this when making chicken for tacos, enchiladas, and other dishes. Delicious, easy, and customizable! How do you like to balance your spice blend?
I got this idea from the Del Monte mango salsa recipe. It was a good base but it was definitely missing the kick I like to get from my salsas! Very easy to make and a healthy, colorful snack. Not to mention the praise you'll get if you bring this to a party! Awesome way to stand out from the usual chips and salsa crowd. Enjoy!
This recipe is a fabulous year round dessert whether you're looking for something for a summer barbecue or a holiday party potluck! Well, here's an easy recipe that's a big win at all these events. This is made with raspberries but you can substitute blueberries or blackberries to suit your taste. Enjoy!
It's finally November! Time for some comfort food desserts to wave off the impending cold of winter. This deliciously easy dessert can be made for one or many and as an added benefit - your kitchen will smell fabulous! Enjoy and happy fall!
Fall is here! And with it wonderful vegetables that are delicious when roasted. I love this recipe because you've got beautiful colors, loads of healthy vegetables, and an excellent protein kick from the quinoa and black beans. A great healthy fall meal to get you through a busy week. Enjoy!
Thanks to a lovely trip blueberry picking with my cousins, I have more blueberries than I know what to do with! So I decided to give a blueberry vinaigrette a whirl and (if I do say so myself) - it turned out delicious! Enjoy and let me know what you like to put in your homemade dressings!
Salads and dressing go together - no arguments here! But I struggle with some of the dressing I see on the shelf at the store. We often see extremely high sodium, sugar, and (of course!) calories. It takes more effort to make your own dressing, but it pays dividends and gives you much more freedom to customize your dressing to better match your personal flavor profile along with the flavor profile of whatever salad you're serving.
