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.

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.

Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Farro Salad {with Fresh Veggies}
Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Farro Salad {with Fresh Veggies}. I must admit I’ve become a bit smitten with Farro. I was studying the bulk bins at my local Whole Foods Market looking for something different. I was charged up to discover that Farro is packed with goodness.

Chicken Chilaquiles {with Fried Eggs}
Chicken Chilaquiles. Chee-lah-KEE-less. Chicken-ala-cheese-ness. There are about a bazillion corn tortillas in a package. Have you noticed that? No matter what recipe I make with them, inevitably I will have half a bazillion leftover. That’s what led me to this classic Mexican dish. Chilaquiles are traditionally made from corn tortillas that may have been hanging around for a bit…aka stale.

Southwest Skillet Corn Fritters {with Avocado Ranch Dip}
College Football Season is upon us. In fact, for our team it’s GAME DAY!! Since we’re a foodie family, Game Day is one more reason to create new dishes. Our inspiration comes from our opponents. Yes, we like to envision our rivals as a meal. For example if we’re playing the Arkansas Razorbacks….we might have a meal of Braised Pork. I’ve been warned that talking College Football is akin to discussing religion and politics. So instead we’ll focus on these Southwest Skillet Corn Fritters {with Avocado Ranch Dip}. We devoured them.

Carne Asada Marinated Beef Tips {over Jalapeño & Corn Grits}
I saw this plate of heavenly food in a magazine ad (something very similar to this plate). I knew at that moment I would either have to drive to the restaurant or recreate it at home. That’s when our Marinated Beef Tips {over Jalapeño & Corn Grits} were born.

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.

California Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I woke up this morning and put on my workout clothes. I did it before I could talk myself out of it. I figured that gave me at least a 50% greater chance of it actually happening. Low and behold I have a workout under my belt. No way, no how was I going to offset that kind of progress with a unhealthy lunch choice so I made a California Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Avocado, Tomato & Basil Omelet
Avocado, Tomato & Basil Omelet. There’s nothing complicated or new to learn from this post. It’s just a reminder to use your fresh herbs every chance you get. They can take a ho hum omelet and give it a bright pop of flavor. That’s just what fresh basil and scallions did to our tomato and avocado omelet. Havarti cheese came along and gave it a big group hug.

Margarita Ceviche {National Margarita Day}
Margarita Ceviche My mom gave me a unique cookbook several years ago called Surreal Gourmet Bites. It changed my life or at least the way I viewed food. Thank you Surreal Gourmet (Bob Blumer) for inspiring me to eat with my eyes first and thanks mom for always choosing gifts for life.
