Y’ALL. Beach season is right around the corner. And I can’t promise one way or the other whether this is going to help your diet, or hurt your diet. I have a LEGIT salad problem. And it basically stems from my inability to stop piling on cheese, avocado, and everything else delicious under the sun…

Spicy Shrimp with an Avocado-Cilantro Dipping Sauce
This is basically a summer shrimp cocktail. And it’s a perfect combination: spicy shrimp with a cool, avocado dipping sauce that discernibly tastes like heaven. The end. Okay, okay – though that sums it up to a tee, this dipping sauce deserves a bit more of a shout out. So the sous chef and I shamelessly…

Pesto Chicken with Spaghetti Squash and Kale
So, I’ve made no secret of my love for pesto. In fact, I profess it quite often: take exhibit A. But I insist on basil pesto. I love arugula, kale, and spinach – you name it – as much as the next person. But it shouldn’t go in pesto. Basil goes in pesto. That’s my story, and…
Grilled Red Onion and Zucchini Salad with a Smoked Balsamic Vinaigrette
I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to grasp that it’s already March. It feels like we were literally just carving pumpkins and making gingerbread waffles. And yet, here we are, getting our vegetable gardens prepped and dusting off our grills. So, the sous chef is a bit of a grill fanatic and loves…

Rosemary Chicken, Avocado, and Bacon Salad with Honey Mustard
So, the sous chef is absolutely obsessed with this salad – and for good reason. For starters, it’s packed with, um, avocado and bacon… [i.e. a match made in heaven]. I mean, that’s pretty much as close to chocolate and peanut butter, or wine and cheese as you’re going to get. So yeah. Now, I’m…
