Niçoise Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette
I’ve always loved how the Niçoise Salad looks on a plate. Today it was lunch. The ingredients speak for themselves. We treated ourselves to a piece of fresh tuna which we dipped in sesame seeds then seared. The dressing was champagne mustard, white balsamic, olive oil, minced shallot & garlic, fresh tarragon leaves, sea salt & fresh cracked pepper.

Classic Chicken Marsala
This recipe follows the Classic Chicken Marsala basics but we gave the dish a flavor jumpstart by browning the chicken in sage brown butter.

Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps
Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps. Do you ever pick something up to take a bite and quickly realize there’s no putting it down? It’s just too yummy to stop or too messy to chance a reload. I find this is the case with most cupcakes, wrap sandwiches, corn on the cob, tacos, and definitely lettuce wraps. This dish needs to be eaten at the table, with family & friends, where you can lean over your plate, lick your fingers, and not worry about a napkin until you’ve taken the last bite.

Cuban Stuffed Pork Chop {with Sweet Potato Chips}
Sometimes a recipe comes to you… Wow! What kind of intro is that?! Recipes come to me in my sleep, in line at the seafood counter, checkout counter, bookstore, kitchen table, pillow talk, water cooler….love to eat. I completely love talking about food. My co-workers are amazing inspiration. We eat together, share leftovers, and stories of recipe incarnations. Today I went to the grocery store at noon to pick up lunch for a few girls in the office. At the deli counter were prepared Cuban Sandwiches. I love a Cuban! And that’s how it happens. How can I deconstruct a Cuban sandwich and turn it in to “What’s for Dinner?”

Thai Red Curry Mahi Mahi
I only discovered Thai Red Curry a couple years ago while on vacation in Puerto Rico. Our hotel was directly across the street from a gem of a restuarant that featured both Thai and Indian dishes ~ neither of which we were too familiar with. Going completely on the recommendations of our server we ordered Pla Choo Chee (Thai Red Curry Fish).
