Salmon Rice Bowl (30 Minutes)
Who else likes a good sushi moment?! This salmon rice bowl IS NOT SUSHI, but for me, it has those deconstructed sushi vibes to it. A similar idea to my smoked salmon sushi bowls - LOVE that recipe too! This salmon rice bowl is essentially cooked salmon and rice, combined with a spicy mayo sauce. The fun part is in the toppings. You use nori sheets, or those little seaweed snack packets (my fave), and add some of the salmon mixture to the seaweed, top it with a slice of avocado, and a few … [Read more...]

Greek Grilled Chicken with Zucchini (Yogurt Marinade)
Is there anything better then firing up a grill during the summer?! I grew up eating the finest grilled steaks and burgers, grilled on a charcoal grill by my Dad. Now that my husband and I have our own charcoal grill we enjoy grilling as much as we can. Usually we just grab some brats or burgers from the store and grill them up for an easy meal. Delicious, simple, summer food. Nothing wrong with that. If you're like me though, you might want something lighter than burgers or … [Read more...]

It's the perfect blank canvas for an array of toppings. Similar to an artisan pizza. Best part: there is no … [Read more...]
