Beef Carpaccio {a Birthday Tradition}
My birthday week is officially winding down. It began last Saturday with a wonderful dinner, made especially for me. I have for three years in a row now requested that one of my favorite dishes, is made for my birthday dinner, Beef Carpaccio. And so because I believe that after three repeats of an event it becomes a tradition, Beef Carpaccio is now a Birthday Tradition.

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.

Lemony Thyme & Blackberry Scones

Antipasto Skewers {a fun & easy party food}
I love a party where everyone brings an appetizer to share. Such a great way to sample new recipes. When we get the whole family together to celebrate a birthday this has become our favorite kind of meal. I made Antipasto Skewers to share at our last get together. They were fun to eat and easy to make.

Refrigerator Pickled Green Beans
Refrigerator Pickles take the unknown out of making pickles. I know nothing about canning and preserving, although both are on my culinary bucket list. I have however successfully made a couple variations of pickles. These Refrigerator Pickled Green Beans are ready in two days. They are crisp with a slightly spicy zing. Delicious.

Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon {over Spinach Couscous}
Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon over Spinach Couscous is a go-to staple meal in our house. Or at least it used to be before we became a food blogging family. We easily had this dish once a week and would have to force ourselves to occasionally change up the way we prepared salmon.

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.
