for the love of food
Cinco de Mayo is coming up! And there is nothing that I love more than a Mexican holiday! Actually there is nothing I love more than Mexican food and margaritas! For years i've been throwing a Cinco de Mayo party with tons of different Mexican food options, drinks, and even a little Mexican fiesta station on Pandora.
Read MoreWho doesn't love Mexican food? I mean really, not loving Mexican food is like not loving sunshine. Fajitas, tacos, nachos, burritos...I mean the list is endless and delicious. And don't even get me started on margaritas, that's a different post all together. Today I'll try to focus on these fajitas, I did steak but chicken is fare game also. There is so much flavor going on, you really can keep it simple or go all out with as many toppings as you can think of. In my world, fajitas make an awesome dinner party idea, add some chips, guacamole, and salsa as an appetizer, a pitcher of margaritas, some Mexican tunes off pandora, and wham bam you have an excellent party, theme and all!
Read MoreGreece is on my bucket list, but until that dream happens, I'll just keep eating greek salad. It's simple, can be lunch, dinner, or a side dish, and you can add or subtract so many things to make it exactly how you like it. Plus, I am against bottled salad dressings for many reasons. Reason a. there's an awful lot of things I can't pronounce on the back for a vinegar based dressing(or an anything based dressing for that matter). Reason b. they are so easy to make with things already in your pantry, that there is no reason to buy it. I can list more, but I won't bore you. Here's my favorite salad of all time, I hope you enjoy it too!
Read MoreThis recipe was pure luck. I was cooking for a crowd, a crowd that doesn't eat pasta or potatoes. A crowd that eats salads everyday for lunch, so you don't necessarily want one for dinner. And lastly a crowd that can eat for a living. So I needed something filling, fresh, and that would impress. So I dreamed up this beauty. I love feta cheese. I love roasted red peppers. I love spinach. I love fresh basil. So why not put it all together? That was exactly my question. So I did it. I added chicken into the plan, and perhaps a side dish or two. It was fabulous, and now is a staple in the dinner plans! It may look intimidating but I promise it isn't.
