Linda and I were at a wedding in South Carolina this past July… One of the appetizers that was served there was this perfect little bite that you see here.

My Hubby and I loved it and it is definitely one I will be making again soon! Continue reading

Salmon with Herb Gremolata

Salmon with Herb Gremolata

Today I’m sharing a tasty and healthy salmon dish. As mentioned in a previous post, Gremolata is an easy and healthy way to add tons of flavor to any dish. Gremolata is simply a combination of garlic and fresh herbs with lemon. I’ve substituted lime for the lemon in today’s recipe and fresh parsley, oregano and thyme are the herbs of choice. A squeeze of lime juice is the final ingredient to finish off this lovely salmon meal.  Continue reading

This is a great end of the summer party sandwich.

She loves bagels and cream cheese with salmon, cream cheese and capers…but alas…. the wedding dress fitting. So I came up with this little bite that offers a little veggie with the bagel fixings. Turns out this was a great breakfast appetizer and is great at room temperature too…  Continue reading

Blackened Filet Mignon Burgers

Blackened Filet Mignon Burgers
Most of the time when I want a good filet mignon, I buy the whole loin and trim it up. When I do that I always make filet mignon burgers. We really love them because they are just so moist and juicy. Today I made them with a blackened seasoning for extra depth and flavor! The pairing with the Swiss cheese just took them over the top! I made them thin and doubled them up for extra seasoning surface!!! Continue reading
