Easy Chili Lime Grilled Shrimp Recipe
We’ve been traveling to several North Carolina beaches this spring and summer, and I’m always in search of some good seafood. The coastline has great shrimp that is often fried or steamed, but this time of year I crave the flavor of the grill. Plus I love adding fresh flavors and herbs to my dishes, […]

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Macadamia Nut Pesto
Grilled pork tenderloin is inexpensive, super tender, really juicy, and quick to cook. That makes it an all-star protein in my book. I love to serve it simply grilled with a flavor-packed sauce, and so I decided to do a take on a pesto featuring the classic basil and olive oil base, but swapping in […]

Panzanella Potato Salad - Grain & Dairy Free
I took an International Foods course in college where each week we would make a big feast of foods from a different region of the world. It was the biggest face-roll course I've ever taken (ie, could not have been easier and more enjoyable) and many of the dishes I learned to make are still […]

Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken cordon bleu is a classic dish. Chicken stuffed with ham and Swiss, coated in bread crumbs and baked to perfection. Truly delicious. This version cuts the carbs and oils, while adding that hint of smoke characteristic of grilled food. It's also way easier and faster than traditional chicken cordon bleu - basically the same […]

Grilled Potato Salad with Honey Mustard and Dill Dressing
The recipe I want to share today is a quick one, easy to execute, but so complex in flavor you'll go crazy for it. See, I've never been a fan of potato salad. There was one potato salad I had while living in Louisiana that was made with mashed potatoes instead of cubed potatoes, and […]
