I made this recipe for my sister and her fiancé and it was a hit! This dish is really easy to prepare, full of flavor and a great recipe to keep in your repertoire especially with summer fast approaching.

Shrimp Summer Rolls with Spicy Almond Dipping Sauce
Summer rolls have become an obsession of mine in recent years. They are so versatile and can be made with any combination of proteins and veggies. Rice paper provides the perfect portable wrap for summer rolls. This is a dish I would often bring for lunch at work and I remember sitting at my desk […]

Pesto Pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes
Pasta may easily be my favorite types of recipes to make. It’s so easy and versatile, it can be taken in any possible direction imaginable. The flexibility of pasta dishes is what draws me to it, well that and the fact is insanely delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone that didn’t enjoy a […]

Honey Chipotle Chicken with Mango Salsa
When I make this dish, I feel like I am mentally preparing myself for spring. For some reason I equate grilled meats and fruits to spring and summer time. There’s no place I’d rather be than sipping a cocktail standing over a hot grill with snow just being a distant memory. Sadly, it is still […]

Shrimp Tacos With Avocado Salsa and Cilantro Lime Crema
Tacos often get a reputation for being heavy and indulgent. These shrimp tacos are just as indulgent but they feel so much lighter than an average taco with fresh, crisp, bright flavors. The creamy avocado with the acidic, herbaceous crema provide the perfect contrast to the spicy, warm shrimp. This is the perfect spring or […]

Tuna Poke
There is nothing I love more than ahi tuna. I feel like I can confidently say it is my favorite protein source. While I’m professing my love of rich, fatty tuna I can also declare poke as my preferred way of preparing it. Poke is marinaded, diced raw fish native to Hawaii but has found […]

Honey Sriracha Salmon
This is hands down my go-to marinade for salmon. It has all the flavor profiles I look for in a marinade, slightly sweet, spicy, with a rich umami from the tamari. The honey helps the marinade caramelize and thicken once it is baked. This marinade is also very flexible, if you like it spicy you […]

Lemon Ricotta Tagliatelle
I don’t think there is anything I love more than a creamy, cheesy pasta. Actually, anything that has to do with carbs and cheese is an instant favorite of mine. There’s something so comforting about digging into a hot bowl of pasta however, it has the tendency to leave you feeling bogged down and lethargic. […]
