With warmer weather, I am looking for recipes with lots of fresh vegetables. I am just trying MarthaStewart's meal kit service - Marley Spoon. The vegetables incorporate roasted lemon wedges, garlic, fresh tarragon and chopped kalamata olives. The salmon has lemon zest, olive oil, a dash of Dijon mustard and salt & pepper. I broiled it in the oven but it would have been great on the BBQ.

My latest kick is fresh noodles, bok choy, mushrooms with aged Chinese black vinegar!

Grew my own broccoli sprouts in a mason jar and then made a delicious salad with Persian cucumbers, broccoli sprouts, homemade sweet pickled red onions and homemade quick pickled jalapeño slices.

Pizza salad with baby arugula, parmesan, chopped pecans, red bell pepper, chopped cherry tomatoes and pepperone slices. I served it with an Italian dressing.

I made homemade French bread pizza and used beef chorizo sausage instead of Italian sausage. The pizza had great flavor. I also used fresh baby portobello mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, sweet baby peppers and green onions.

I made homemade crab cakes with snow crab meat. I combined crab with an egg, crushed Ritz crackers, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, finely diced green onions, a dash of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. It was so worth the effort. Dinner was delicious.

Who new that curry and salmon went together? I tried a new food meal company (new to me) called Home Chef and loved the salmon in coconut milk-curry sauce. I served it with rice.

First, sear the salmon; season with salt and pepper. Sauté 2 healthy bunches of bok choy stems and 2 large (diced) shallots. Add in several tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 2 tablespoons tomato paste and 1/2 cup water. Add the salmon fillets in along with the juice from 2 limes. At the end add in 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.

Mexican Lentil Soup is such a great dish for the current cold weather. I basically followed a friend’s family recipe.

I used 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups water, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup beef chorizo sausage, 2 cut up potatoes, 1 1/2 cups lentils, chopped carrots, 2 small diced yellow onions, 1 zucchini cut up, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 diced beefsteak tomato and 1 can Rotel.

First, I sautéed the garlic, onion, carrots and zucchini. Then, I added in the tomatoes and potatoes as well as the broth and water, salt and pepper.

I then added in 1 and 1/2 cups rinsed lentils. I cooked the soup on the stove for 2 hours. I served with diced cilantro and avocado.

It was a big family hit. The leftover soup reheated beautifully.

I have gone back to using a traditional quiche pan. I like the results better. For this quiche, I sautéed cherry tomatoes, diced red peppers and 1/2 an onion. I used cheddar, parmesan and goat cheese along with 3 eggs and 1 cup cream. It came out great. I baked it for 37 minutes at 350.

Holiday Boards can include whatever you wish - mine has dried pineapple for a bit of crunch and tartness. In addition, I have added a few carmelized onion pastries.

Simple and elegant touch - Holiday ice cubes made with fresh rosemary and cranberries!

Say hello to my version of scalloped tomatoes. I used cubed dry/stale French bread, a package of campari tomatoes, fresh basil, green onions, butter, salt, freshly ground black pepper, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a splash of extra virgin olive oil.

Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

Easy and delicious holiday salad with mixed spring greens, candied pecan nuts (cooked in brown sugar and water & baked on a coikie sheet at 400), pomegranate seeds and crumbled gorganzola cheese. Use a Champagne or Italian dressing.
