My Favorite Foods

-
I've been inspired lately ---
Inspired by a friend who doesn't make cooking seem like a chore... also inspired by the show Top Chef (although it's not currently on)... both have given me a new outlook on feeding my family and myself and I'm loving it! So is my family.
So here we go, some of the faves I've concocted lately with the recipes I used/got ideas from... most of the time I find a recipe and modify it. Epicurious has some great ideas.

CHICKEN MARSALA WITH RED QUINOA


RUSTIC RATATOUILLE WITH CHICKPEAS AND QUINOA


SIMPLE STEAK AND SALAD



 CHICKEN WITH TOMATO HERB PAN SAUCE


STUFFED PEPPERS - GROUND PORK, TOMATOES, KALE AND GOAT CHEESE



HERB CRUSTED SESAME CHILI TILAPIA WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS


WHITE BEAN BRUSCHETTA


MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL


ISLAND PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BROCCOLI AND COUSCOUS



GROUND BEEF TACOS IN WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLA WITH MY OWN SEASONING, SAUTEED PEPPERS AND ONIONS AND HOMEMADE SALSA (mango, avocado, red onion, tomatoes)


TURKEY-PESTO MEATBALLS


STUFFED BAKED EGGPLANT


MY OWN FRUIT TART - made cups from phyllo dough, added vanilla greek yogurt and berries with some honey!

Hello From the Other Side

Yes, it's me. I know it's been quite some time. But I swear I have excuses. Let's see, my family made a big move from Hawaii to Connecticut in February 2015. Actually, all our belongings began their voyage the same week as we did, however we didn't see our own things til June 2015. We sadly left Hawaii, stopped in Georgia for a week, then onto CT where we stayed for a few weeks in March 2015 (our kids were excited it was still snowing, the rest of the east coast was NOT!). We got to know our new CrossFit gym and even had an adult getaway to NYC! On Good Friday we packed up and moved to Virginia for the summer - making a pit stop in DC. We lived in a 'furnished' place in VA and the kids were able to run around and play. We joined a CrossFit gym there too and met some great people, made some trips to VA Beach, NC, Great Wolf Lodge, Gettysburg... some fun adventures. Then in June we made the trek back to CT and moved into our new home. What an amazing summer! A
