Shrimp, Avocado & Orange Salad

This recipe was inspired by a trip to Spain (where I basically ate my face off :)). I serve it when I have girlfriends over for lunch. It's light, delicious, healthy and absolutely beautiful to look at. I have also omitted the shrimp and served this as a side to grilled chicken.

Shrimp-Winter Fruit Salad with Pomegranate Seeds and Blue Cheese

I wanted something light, but filling, as well as holiday-colorful and festive. The Granny Smith green and the pomegranate red do the trick. Buying already cooked shrimp makes the dish very accessible. Good potluck fare; recipe easily doubles or triples.

Balsamic Seasoned Steak

This simple recipe ensures a tender steak without a long marinating time. Steak sauce and balsamic vinegar are a great team, and you can’t go wrong with melty Swiss on top.

Grilled Steak Fajitas

This tasty main dish is as quick and easy to assemble as tacos. Marinating the meat overnight makes it very tender. We like the hearty and flavorful steak slices. I serve the fajitas with Spanish rice, refried beans and a gelatin dessert.

When sitting down to tacos isn't an option, walking tacos are the answer. These self-contained mini-meals are just the thing for eating on the go or around a campfire.

Spaghetti with Cilantro-Pistachio Pesto and Shrimp

After a series of events led to an excess amount of Cilantro in my kitchen, I set out to make pesto entirely made up of things already on hand. Though I love shrimp in this dish, any meat or no meat at all would be just as delicious. Easily adapted to serve just 1, or many, and any leftover cilantro pesto can be used again later.
