stuffed bell peppers.

needed more taco seasoning, but a nice change.

lasagna roll ups

a light concoction of spinach & ricotta.

spicy black bean soup with jalapeno cornbread

Of all the meals that I've made over the past few months, this may just be my favorite.

whole wheat rosemary & olive oil loaf

I wasn't too impressed with this bread...at all, but I brought it to Sunday Easter dinner & everyone seemed to love it.  go figure.

linguine with black olive tapenade, cherry tomatoes & goat cheese

Frig, this recipe was good.

I love when a handful of simple ingredients create an intense flavour in your mouth.

curried lentil soup with chickpea puree

I was a little skeptical about this recipe, in respect to there needing hummus to be added, but it was a nice surprise & added to the creamy texture.  A repeat recipe for sure.

pico de gallo

Huevos Rancheros just might be my all time favorite breakfast on the weekend.

cheesy eggs

when the moon hits your eye

sometimes I even amaze myself. 

I was a little nervous before I put this puppy in the oven.  Thank god for the broil function because the dough was still white 2 mins before it was supposed to come out of the oven.

I think the toppings were good (toppings being caramelized onions, herbed goat cheese, fresh basil, turkey sausage, mozzarella & pesto sauce) but the crust wasn't as good as Pizza Hut's crust.  Nothing will ever beat their crust.  This is a good second though.  

lemony goodness

I had thawed a couple of salmon fillets overnight & didn't want to do the same old boring grilled salmon with steamed veggies.  I took a gander on the epicurious site & found an intriguing recipe for salmon with lentils and mustard herb butter.

Started off with the leek & lentil concoction.  And then finished off with the salmon that was treading in herbed butter.
