Chopped Italian Submarine Salad
By the summer of sixth grade I was old enough to head off on my bicycle in the morning, with one stipulation, be home before dark. Most days for lunch I split an Italian Grinder with my BFF before heading to the lake. This Chopped Italian Submarine Salad has all those familiar wonderful flavors.

Gazpacho Grain Bowl {with Confetti Veggies}
I made a big batch of Gazpacho to take to a family gathering. I thought it would be a nice refreshing change and it was. However, even after our party I had a good amount left, along with my favorite fine diced confetti colored veggies. This is how the Gazpacho Grain Bowl with Confetti Veggies was born.

Avocado & Chicken Salad Boats
Avocado & Chicken Salad Boats with hints of lime, cumin and cilantro. This delicious plate could easily become my new favorite lunch. The mashed avocado replaces mayonnaise in this recipe, lending numerous healthy benefits.

Mediterranean Grilled Cheese {Gluten Free}
Wrapping up a fabulous April, spent celebrating National Grilled Cheese Month. Our Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich, layered with basil pesto, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, and cheese, was phenomenal. All that goodness was sandwiched between two slices of fresh baked Jackalope Real Bread. Let me tell you a bit about that.

Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken}
This might be my most favorite salad EVER. I’m sometimes reminded not to make statements that can’t stand the test of thyme. If you deliver me a Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken} 5 days a week, I’m certain I will sing your praises.

Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna
The pictures don’t do this recipe justice, but I am here to tell you that Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna is pure comfort. Surprisingly, that comfort is delivered without a guilt trip. That’s right, this recipe came straight out of the new Weight Watchers cook book AND it’s made in the slow cooker. Badda bing. Badda boom.

Our Favorite Fish Sandwiches
While I’m not Catholic, I did grow up in a predominantly Catholic community. I was the kid who begged to spend Friday night at my friend’s house because I knew there would be fish sticks or fish sandwiches for dinner. Something I adored. It’s in that spirit that on this Friday evening I share some of our favorite Friday Night Fish Sandwiches with you. Enjoy!!

Braciola {Italian Beef Rolls}
Braciole {Italian Beef Rolls} slowly simmered in spicy Arrabbiata sauce until the beef is fork tender. The filling, comprised of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian bread crumbs, garlic, toasted pine nuts, and hard-boiled egg, is my loose interpretation of this classic Italian dish.

Chicken Kiev {with Fresh Herbs & Garlic}
I looked out the back door at my fresh herb porch pots, expecting to see various shades of brown with brittle textures. Yet instead I saw a burst of spring-thyme green. Chives. How on earth did this soft herb survive the unseasonably icy and cold winter? It’s a mystery. And a sign. Make Chicken Kiev.

Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl
Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl. I went to Pet Smart during lunch to replenish Lilah’s food. Pet Smart is very close to Pier One. I was smack in the middle of Healthy Lunch Bowl Week. They sell really pretty bowls.
