Welcome to a New Year! Let’s hope that 2021 is a good one…I was going to make my Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad the other day and one of my sons wasn’t in the ‘salad’ mood so I turned it into a Taco Night… I love the flavor combination of the chipotle ranch sauce mixed with the barbecue sauce…¡oh Dios mío! Delicioso! Continue reading

After a long morning of golfing one recent Saturday my hubby came home hungry…so I assembled this really delicious sandwich for him to munch on…thick & crispy seasoned bacon, grilled seasoned chicken, fresh avocado and sharp cheddar cheese with a creamy Dijon-Ranch aioli on toasted sourdough bread…it really hit the spot!

The last of my summer corn was the perfect addition to this healthy salad. I charred the corn and added fresh plum tomatoes and ripe avocado, poured on a zesty-honey dressing and voilà a salad was born. Farewell summer…see you again next year! Continue reading

Recently when visiting Washington DC we stopped for lunch at the Sculpture Garden Pavilion Cafe at the National Gallery of Art. On the menu was a Southwest Chicken Salad that not only looked good but tasted delish! I wanted to go back there the next day since I couldn’t stop thinking about it…but alas…we ended up at Hill Country BBQ – another great place to eat if you’re a big fan of brisket & ribs. But I couldn’t get that salad off my mind…so of course I had to make it at home. It turned out fabulous! The combination of flavors was just perfect…perfectly grilled southwestern-spiced chicken, fresh avocado, charred corn, black beans, crispy shallots, cotija cheese all piled on fresh salad greens and drizzled with chipotle-ranch dressing and bbq sauce…oh my! I will absolutely be making this salad again and again… Continue reading
If you saw my post in late September I made Pink Peppercorn Pickled Onions. They are so delicious and pretty. I’m really into using them right now and put them on almost everything. They paired really well with these smoky tacos and I just loved the flavors together. Surprisingly I have a few heirloom tomatoes left too! Continue reading
This is one of my favorite appetizers when we are in the city. I love to eat my tuna raw and when I am certain the tuna is super fresh I just chop it or pound it and eat it! Also to add to the simple excellence, I cut some square wontons in half and give them a super quick fry in some olive oil…Today Heaven!!!! Continue reading
