This Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole Recipe is easy to make from scratch for the perfect weeknight meal! For a slight twist on classic tuna noodle casserole, it has Old Bay Seasoning and a buttered toast topping. It’s just a fact of life: anyone growing up in the late ‘80s and/or early ‘90s most likely had to endure some variation of tuna casserole. Frequently, in my case....
Hoisin Salmon Burgers with Ginger Mayo Recipe {Plus The Wellness Kitchen Cookbook Review, Giveaway, and Q&A with Paulette Lambert}
Happy Spring, friends! I hope you’re able to enjoy spring-like weather and get outside for some fresh air today to celebrate. Or if the weather isn’t quite so spring-like where you are, go make a nice big leafy green salad with tons of fruit and veggies…it’s guaranteed to make you happy!...
Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower, Tuna, and Egyptian Roumy Cheese
This dish is basically a grown-up version of Tuna Helper. (Despite my mom being the anti-processed food extremist that she was, which I now thank her for, even I tried Tuna Helper as a kid.) Don’t judge. :)...
Seared Salmon with Tzatziki Sauce
I don’t really consider myself a clean freak, but I guess if the shoe fits. Or if she walks like a duck and talks like a duck…or in this case, if she feels the need to clean daily whether the apartment needs it or not… Ok, I guess you can go ahead and call me a clean freak (my husband already does). Which is why I’m appalled to say we had an ant issue not too long ago. (Ok, that’s a little dramatic. But I was at the very least surprised.) And to make matters worse, one day I heard one of our elderly lady […]...
Almond-Crusted Salmon with Gingered Grapefruit Relish {And a Huge Superfoods Giveaway}
I hope everyone’s New Year is off to a wonderful start! With so many people making resolutions to get healthier, I thought this would be the perfect time to share a recipe that is as nourishing and healthy as it is delicious. It’s the kind of meal you’d get in a spa for lunch if you were taking the whole day to pamper yourself....
Salmon Niçoise Salad
It isn’t always easy to get fresh produce into our diets. I get it…some of us have kids (or husbands, not that I’m naming names) who only like certain fruits and veggies and refuse don’t like to try new things. Short of force-feeding, what’s a veggie-loving girl to do?...
Scallop-Herb Salad
Anyone else a fan of lobster rolls? The other day I saw a picture of the most gorgeous looking lobster roll in the world on Pinterest. (If you’re not on Pinterest yet, you might be wondering what all the fuss is about…you’re in good company. Mike tells me all the time he just doesn’t get it. And I tell him there is nothing to get, it’s the most wonderful/fun/addictive way to waste, ahem, I mean spend, time.) So, back to lobster rolls....
Singapore Mei Fun Noodles
In my junior year of college, this dish was the go-to late-night study food for the whole floor of my dorm. Most of us on the floor were majoring in the same subject so we’d all have an exam at the same time. The night before a big test, we’d all order Chinese food and stay up through the night studying in the common room. Singapore Noodles was always all of our favorite dish (along with Crab Rangoon)…it always made studying all night a lot more fun....
Baked Fish with Crumb Topping
Since Mike and I eat fish a couple times a week (and because I’m usually not that adventurous with it…most of the time I make it the same way – poached!), I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. My inspiration for this meal was ordinary breaded and baked fish…but in the end this fish dish turned out to be anything but ordinary. The onion, garlic, and herbs lend so much flavor, and the Panko breadcrumbs make a nice crunchy topping. We both loved it, and it’s definitely a meal that will be repeated in our house....
Crab-Stuffed Shells
When I think of stuffed shells I usually think of some kind of cheesy mixture stuffed inside pasta shells, topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. These shells couldn’t be farther from the norm. As part of my Mother’s Day Menu, I wanted to make stuffed shells with crab…almost a deconstructed crab cake, stuffed in pasta shells. Also, since crab in its natural form is found in shells, I thought it would be pretty cute to stuff a crab mixture into shells of a different kind. I wanted to make a Béchamel sauce (this is a white sauce; it’s basically just milk that is thickened […]...
