I really enjoy a tricolor salad, so I thought, why not make a tricolor half pound burger?
This tricolor half pound burger is such a tasty example of a burger. I used 80% lean ground beef, which grilled to a nice melt in your mouth meatiness.
Burger Lab Series
Summer in New York is almost over folks. Did you have fun?
I sure did, and I still plan on eeking out as much fun as possible before the weather cools.
For those of you preparing for labor day, perhaps you plan on serving burgers to your family and friends. I do hope so, because I will be sharing some lip-smacking examples of burger splendor as part of my burger lab series. Burger, burger, burger!
Purple Cauliflower Rice
Purple cauliflower rice is a really cool side dish. It’s a smart alternative to regular rice. One cup of white rice has 5.6 times more carbs than the same amount of cauliflower rice. Cauliflower rice is packed with vitamin C too, and purple cauliflower rice is really pretty!
Replacing regular rice with cauliflower rice is a great idea, especially for those with chronic diseases such as diabetes.
It has a great bite, much lighter than conventional rice and doesn’t leave you conked out on the sofa veering to the food coma zone.
Three cheers for purple cauliflower rice!
Spicy Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Corn Salsa
I’d like to share something spicy with you today – spicy chicken tacos with pineapple corn salsa. A delightful spicy and tangy sweet meal encased in flour tortillas. If you’re going to make a batch of these tacos, make sure you have a large stash of tortillas. These hand-to-mouth delights will be very popular, very popular indeed.
Baked Sesame Crusted Salmon
Are you looking for a wonderful bite size appetizer? Well look no further, I have a really tasty fish dish for you today. Baked sesame crusted salmon on a poppy and sesame cracker with wasabi mayo and eel sauce. Doesn’t that sound great?
I happened upon this recipe when I attended an event at My Cooking Party. My Cooking Party is a cooking school that hosts hands on cooking parties. You know, stuff that you have to cook yourself.
On arrival my group and I were greeted with appetizers, beer and wine, while three chefs worked on more appetizers in the background.
Asparagus Gruyere Tart
It’s Monday folks, and I have a wonderful meatless recipe for you today, asparagus Gruyere tart. This cheese and vegetable tart is super easy to create and it takes no time at all to cook. Once ready, all you will have to do is add a side salad and some wine or iced beverage, and you will have yourself a superb lunch.
Beef and Sweet Potato Hash
Finding a great hangover breakfast or brunch is always difficult when in need. Now I’m not recommending you overdo it with the drinking, but if you do, beef and sweet potato hash is an expert recovery meal. It’s lean, nourishing and above all, gosh darn tasty.
Thyme Tequila Fizz
The weather in New York this weekend has been mostly overcast with spates of rain. No grilling for me this weekend, so I put my desires of grilled salmon on cedar plank on hold and cheered myself up by creating a new cocktail – thyme tequila fizz. She’s wonderful! A sensational thyme-infused tequila based cocktail topped with cava.
Rum Soaked Fruit Salad Cocktail
Rum soaked fruit salad cocktail is a super easy desert or treat. Ideal for those outdoor events, after you and your guests have enjoyed your grilled meats, fish and veggies. What more do you need aside from something sweet? Enter rum soaked fruit salad cocktail for the adults!
Honey Mustard Pork Summer Salad
When I make a salad to be enjoyed as a main course, rather than an accompaniment to a meal, I like my salad to be hearty. I use vegetables that need much mastication, high on the chew-worthy scale. Which, of course, can take time to eat, but above all is really tasty. Today’s recipe, honey mustard pork summer salad, is just that.
