Tabouleh & Couscous Salad
I’m not sure why I’ve waited so long to make homemade Tabouleh. It’s packed full of fresh herbs and aromatics, my absolute favorite way to enhance flavor. Today, I introduced this dish to several friends, who I think now also share my love of this Middle Eastern salad.

Thai Coconut Curry Hummus
Shelby sent me a text picture of a tub of Thai Coconut Curry Hummus. Oh YES!! How brilliant! Hummus is the perfect vehicle for flavor creativity. I was in the kitchen the next day coming up with my own version. After the rave reviews it received from my taste testers (in this case my work family) I decided to share it with you.

Herbed Scrambled Eggs {in Avocado Boats}
There was a cooking show on Food Network a while back that we really liked. I can’t recall the name of it, but the host would always feature the ‘obedient ingredient.’ That’s exactly what I did this morning. I bought a few too many avocados this week so I’m turning them into serving vessels. Our Herbed Scrambled Eggs were quite happy in their avocado boats.

Loaded Egg Salad
Loaded Egg Salad. Mom taught us how to make really good egg salad. Finely chopped eggs, celery, scallion, mayonnaise, salt & pepper. Nothing complicated just finely done. That’s all I’ve ever wanted in an egg salad. Until my birthday lunch out with Shelby.

Inside Out Fresh Herb Omelet
This Inside Out Fresh Herb Omelet was my Healthy Choice post-workout meal. Four weeks ago today I arrived at the office with workout clothes in hand (after taking 4 months off). I was committed to getting back into an exercise routine and knew I would need the encouragement of teammates to keep me on track. So when the lunchtime walking crew lined up to head out, I followed right along. Well actually I lagged behind a good bit, but I did it. A 2.61 mile power walk in 40 minutes.

Roasted Veggie Oven Hash {with Fried Eggs}
Hash is such a great way to use up the tail end of fresh veggies. I decided to oven roast my diced vegetables with just a little olive oil and seasonings vs. pan frying in butter. I’m taking baby steps towards Healthy Choices and Roasted Veggie Oven Hash with Fried Eggs keeps me right on track.

Roasted Spring Vegetables {featuring Radishes}
Roasted Spring Vegetables I was so pleasantly surprised to learn how wonderful radishes are when oven roasted. It never even occurred to me to cook them. To me radishes were only served as part of a veggie tray. Growing up, I remember mom making ‘radish roses’ and serving them on a nibble tray during the cocktail hour. I tried to like them. Just didn’t.

Italian White Bean Dip {with Homemade Pita Bread}
I have a treasured folder where I keep paper copies of recipes. Some jotted down on scratch paper, others torn from magazines, and lots printed from the pages of fellow bloggers I admire. This morning I found this Italian White Bean Dip recipe that I had torn from a Weight Watchers hand out….months ago. Time to revisit.
