The Cobb Turkey Burger

Many  have heard of the Cobb Salad which is a main-dish American salad that is arranged in sections where each person puts together their own salad. The sections can include various types of greens, tomatoes, avocados, bacon, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, a dressing of your choice and any other ingredient you might want to include. I … Continue reading

Pita Lamb Burgers on the Grill

It’s time to fire up the grill and I did so with these great lamb burgers in pita bread.  I bought Bon Appetit’s Best Recipes 2015 and this burger from Anissa Helou was one of the recipes.  Of course you could always make these into patties and use regular buns.  Using pita bread was a … Continue reading

Beef Fajitas on the Grill or Stove

This is a favorite wrap, in addition to my Chicken Fajitas Wraps, as you can add any condiments you want.  My family has so many different tastes/likes and dislikes that this always works well with everyone. This post has my original recipe but you can use any marinade for flank steak. Recently I used my Dr. … Continue reading

Rajas Con Crema

I make your typical chicken fajitas with onions and peppers that have been marinated, cooked and then served in a warm tortilla.  The Best of America’s Test Kitchen 2014 had this as an alternative which sounded delicious and it was!  I did tweak their recipe a little by adding some cheese and giving a recipe … Continue reading

Guess what we are having for lunch?  Kings Hawaiian calls them “Vampwiches” – I think they look like scary frogs with big teeth 🙂  Actually, they are kind of funny.    I know the party goers at The Novice Gardener could use a snack and I know the two co-hosts Hilda @alongthegrapevine.wordpress.com and Julianna @foodieonboard.com … Continue reading

Roasted Cauliflower, Pear and Butterkase Panini

Super Bowl XLVIII Sliders

This is my first Fiesta Friday contribution to Angie’s site, The Novice Gardener, but it is actually Super Bowl Sunday.  This is the first time I have joined a “blog party”  but what a fun way to meet other bloggers.  Now, if I can just figure out what I am doing and link up to this fabulous party created … Continue reading

Pesto Chicken Panini

These sandwiches were a big hit beginning in the early 2000s and as far as I am concerned are still a hit.  The flavors blend together so well under the weight and heat of the Panini press.  With sun-dried and green basil pesto (homemade) what a combination this Panini is.  Now is the time to … Continue reading

Spicy Chicken or Soy Lettuce Wraps

If you want something simple, but very tasty, for lunch or perhaps dinner give these recipes a try.  The first one is a Weight Watcher’s PointsPlus value of 2 per wrap.  Lettuce wraps have been very popular for some time now,  especially since they are lower in fat.  Big difference between a leaf of lettuce … Continue reading
