Sirloin Steak

My exploits with steak on this blog have thus far been with Filet Mignon and Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon. Those are really nice cuts of meat (also expensive) and hard to mess up I think. I needed a cheaper alternative to feed my carnivorous urges, so I turned to sirloin, which is less than half the … Continue reading

Balsamic Roasted Peppers

I had some colorful peppers that were beginning to wrinkle and look less-than-fresh. So not one to waste anything, I decided to roast them with some added flavors and have on hand as a snack, side dish, or a delicious sandwich addition. I perused some other recipes online and decided on a combination of olive … Continue reading

French Onion Soup

With fall upon us, even though the weather is still hot, I’ve been inspired to do more soup recipes. I’ve wanted to make my own French Onion Soup for ages, mostly because I am addicted to cheese (no joke) and it’s always such a satisfying appetizer. My friend Tori and I made this during one … Continue reading

Mango Arugula and Avocado Salad

Tori actually found and suggested this recipe and we incorporated it into our dinner feast to really maximize the healthy veggie factor of our meal. The salad is pretty simple but I think the combination of mango and avocado is severely underestimated. Jen and I actually made Mango Pomegranate Guacamole before and it was a … Continue reading

Lime Quinoa Cilantro Chickpea Salad

This salad is definitely a recipe both Jen and I have had pinned on our food boards for a while, and I finally committed to it to try it. I saw a few versions of the salad and the one I was inspired by most was from the Diva Dish. I loved the interplay of … Continue reading

Peach, Tomato, and Mozzarella Crostini

I had just spent a weekend in pretty rural parts of America, eating probably the most processed foods known to mankind, so I wanted to start the week off on a healthy note. I think I found this recipe trolling on Pinterest, but don’t quite remember. The crostini embodies everything that is summer – -ripe … Continue reading
