The grill ran out of juice so my Grilled Mexican Salmon Salad had to become a Seared Mexican Salmon Salad.
Not to worry. It was full of flavor. And searing the salmon made it juicy on the inside with a delicious crust on the outside.
I loved how pretty the dinosaur kale looked before I turned it into a salad. And my version looks a lot like the Green Chef photo.
I’m serious. You need to try it. Get a week free here. You’ll like it. I promise.
Ok. You are going to need this link by the time I’m done sharing about tonight’s dinner.
Dinner was phenomenal. Harissa Glazed Pork Chops with Braised Green Beans and Carrots and a side salad from Green Chef.
I didn’t have to think. Didn’t have to plan. Just pulled out the color-coded ingredients and made dinner.
It was full of flavor. It was all Paleo, which is important to me even though I don’t always eat Paleo.
If you haven’t tried a subscription box, I urge you to try it at least once. It is amazing. And I love it. It will be something we do off and on for a while. Because hello convenience.
I’ll give it to you again. The link to try it for a week. See if you like it. Tell me what you think.
I’ve never been a sandwich for dinner type of girl. Probably because my momma spoiled me by making delicious dinners every night. Sandwiches were a lunch thing at our house. And for the most part, I still feel that way.
But tonight, after a long day of cooking for a project at work, I couldn’t even imagine cooking.
So I didn’t.
Instead, I swam some laps in the pool. And then I made a delicious sandwich.
Now this sammie is special. It’s got homemade bread from Me and McGee Market in North Little Rock.
A good sandwich starts with good bread. Everything else is just extra. My sammie extras included ham, Gouda cheese, sliced heirloom tomato, baby arugula and spinach mix and horseradish mustard with a side of Terra Heritage Blend Chips.
If you haven’t tried Terra chips, you need to. I love the Heritage blend. It has sweet potato chips, beet chips, parsnip chips and other delicious root veggies. I love all the colors.
What is your favorite sammie? Favorite chips?
Nothing beats a hamburger on the grill.
Lately, I’ve been grilling up some mean hamburgers. I found some delicious seasoning mix called Fennel and Fire’s Hambuger Blast. And it is life changing.
I paired my burgers with fried potatoes, lady cream peas and sautéed lemon pepper okra from Me & McGee Market in North Little Rock.
It was summer produce perfection.
I absolutely love having a farmer’s market in my backyard. I actually have three within a couple miles of each other so I like to share the love.
What have you been grillin’ lately? Favorite summer dinners? Favorite farmers’ markets?
I had dinner and drinks with my best girls last night. We’ve all been busy with life, but we still make a point to get together to catch up.
When I’m out with people I care about (my family, boyfriend, friends, etc.) I try to unplug and just enjoy my time with them.
But when you write about food, it’s important to share the whole experience.
So far I’ve used this space to share my foodie creations. I’ve totally neglected food I enjoy eating elsewhere.
My love of food runs deep. Ask my boyfriend. Entire conversations have revolved around food and hunger when he “forgets” to feed me in regular intervals.
I think about food all the time. What’s for breakfast? I could make this or that for dinner. I read recipes and watch cooking videos. I work for a food company.
Food is a huge part of my life. So I should share my entire experience with you.
I don’t live in a New York City type food scene. But I do live in a place where where your food comes from is important. I do live in a city with an eclectic food scene. Where farm to table is taken seriously. Where seasonal eating is not a foreign concept.
I love being creative in the kitchen. I love farmers market Saturday mornings. And locally brewed beer. And figuring out how to make healthy foods taste delicious.
It’s the food experience that brings people together. Everybody eats.
My goal is to share all the aspects of my foodie life in this space. To create a community around food and recipes and sharing. To organically grow conversation around a universal truth.
Food is the heart of community.
