In prime grill season, I’m largely in charge of sides and have been enjoying test driving a plethora of new flavors. This zucchini salad delivered a summery burst of flavor and color. Mediterranean Zucchini Salad

Thai Peanut Chicken Salad
Seeking new inspiration in the ‘shredding for the wedding’ department, I landed on a new Thai chicken salad with addictive peanut dressing recipe that was a huge hit and plans to be part of the regular rotation. Without further ado… Thai Chicken Salad Peanut Dressing: Salad: Topping:
Balsamic Chicken Salad
Accidentally, trying to use up what was kicking around the fridge, I stumbled on the nicest marinade and salad combo that insisted on being saved for later use. She ain’t pretty, but she was delish! Balsamic Chicken Salad For the chicken: For the salad: For the Chicken Topper:
Mediterranean Pistachio Crunch Salad
Modified from the “Jennifer Aniston” salad, this has to be one of those meals I could eat nearly every single day. While it doesn’t need anything additional, it also works well with a protein hat. The protein hat, shredded rotochick, and pistachios for a nice crunch. Mediterranean Pistachio Crunch Salad For the dressing: For the…
Golden Chicken Soup
Inspired by the Dinner Tonight newsletter recipe staring my inbox in the face for far too long, one chilly Swiss evening finally brought it to my lips. I can see it being a winter time, feel good staple. Golden Chicken Soup 1. Preheat oven to 400F. 2. Lightly coat broccoli with olive oil, sprinkle with…
Thanksgiving Salad- An Ina Specialty
Recipe from Ina’s “Cooking for Jeffrey,” a favorite cookbook. Ina claims this may be her favorite salad ever. While, I won’t disagree, it’s a bit different than the standard salad and was a nice change, something about it just screamed “Flag this for Thanksgiving!” so let’s go ahead and do just that. Ina’s Maple-Roasted Carrot…
Greek Sc-alad
This weekend I combined two of my food loves- Greek salad and scallops- into a marriage called ‘Scalad.’ Pretty satisfying combination even if the scallops were very sandy like these were. I’m French, they call seared scallops, “snackee” for the sound they make when you sear them. Apparently this is “snack, snack.” No recipe, just…
Hot Greek Salad
Everyone has been baking together feta and tomatoes during quarantine and while I still haven’t tried that, I have invented a hot Greek salad that’s quite nice. It feels healthy, so maybe it will even bring you a hot Greek? Yet to be seen…. It’s a great way to use up veggies in your fridge,…
Supermodel Project: Adeena’s Greenas
Great greens, it’s a healthy post! A move out, followed by a move in without cookware and a birthday….the last couple weeks have been a bit indulgent. And by indulgent, I mean weirdly cheese heavy, but not that weird, because Switzerland. Thankfully, IKEA sent me a pan and Chrissy Teigan had been advertising this recipe…
Ina’s Salmon with Melting Tomatoes
Funny how stressful quarantines are better suited for wine and popcorn rather than the latest gourmet Mediterranean meal. Tonight would be different- tonight the Chrissy Teigan style of cooking salmon takes a Mediterranean vacation (that I could really, REALLY do with) with Ina Garten and this lovely recipe. The whole bit cooks for 11 minutes…
Funk Food: Crab Fried “Rice”
This is one of those recipes that you know must be wonderful because my photos are so.damn.bad. I’m not much for cauliflower rice – it’s clearly not the carb it masquerades to be and it makes my stomach hurt? No thanks. I’ll just eat a salad. After reviewing my favorite Brewery Bhavana’s menu for their…
First Place Recipe of Quarantine: Gaby’s- Chicken Larb Bowls
Chicken Larb Bowls was my first recipe from What’s Gaby Cooking. The recipe were absolutely delicious and very easy to make. I served my larb over Chrissy Teigan’s coconut rice on day one and ate it over salad greens the rest of the week. It was so good, in fact, that I’ll be making it…
