A light and flavor packed meal is awesome on a hot summer day. The sweetness of this salmon matched with the sweet pineapple salad is a great combination. Serve it family style for a decadent look this dinner will disappear quickly as everyone will want to come back for more.
The salad is romaine lettuce and grilled pineapple tossed in a teriyaki vinaigrette. The vinaigrette is olive oil, teriyaki sauce, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and a small amount of chili oil.
Guacamole is a simple snack and it’s really fun to let kids help. Kids really enjoy helping and learning about food and cooking. In this video we are making a simple and great tasting guacamole with my twins.
My wife recently had surgery and she asked for a soothing meal that warmed her up. Soup and sandwich always makes me feel better and relaxes my mind and body.
I grilled a couple chicken breasts seasoned with olive oil and rosemary pepper. The chicken is used in both the chicken noodle soup and sandwich.
The soup is started with a carrot, onion and celery base. Potatoes and chicken stock are added. Once the potatoes start to soften up add broken up linguine noodles and the cooked chicken. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.
The sandwich uses a foccacia bread and honey mustard spread. Add chicken and cheddar cheese. It’s cooked until the cheese starts to melt.

I love making batches of stock and storing it in small containers for later use. It’s a great way to use all the parts of a chicken, turkey or cut of beef. This recipe is for turkey stock and the stock can be interchanged with recipes that call for chicken stock.

5 carrots, rough chopped
