Teacher – Chef – MOM
IT’S A GIRL! I have been quite quiet the past few months – we’ve had a lot going on! You may recall that I was baking a little Bun-in-the-Oven. Well, our little bun is fully baked and entered our family at the end of April. …

Jimmy’s Wood Burning Brick Oven Pizza, Stroudsburg PA
We hardly ever eat out… Because I love to cook so much, it often feels like more work to put on shoes and get in the car and drive to a restaurant. It is so much easier to just stay in my comfy clothes and make a mess of our house! AND since 95% of the time we cook really delicious food at home – it makes sense. I love to cook as much as my Husband loves my food, so going out to eat is a pretty rare occasion (which is really good for our wallets, especially with my love of sale-shopping and couponing). When we do go out to eat, we try make sure we are getting a good meal and it’s worth our time/money. We are usually actually pretty tough critics, so we have decided to try to start doing some Restaurant Reviews!

Salmon Cakes with Green Beans and Dill Mustard *Saucy Mama*
You may remember that I recently entered Saucy Mama’s Mustard Competition. I have some good news… they liked my Mini Bacon Mustard Quiche Appetizers and I made it onto Round 2… the Entree Round *yay* 🙂 The Secret Ingredient we were given for the entree …
Grilled Salmon & Asparagus with Lemon Basil Mayo
Growing up I was never a huge fan of fish (at least the kind that was not a shellfish), but I happen to be marrying a wonderful man who is a huge fan of fish… so I am adapting!
This Grilled Salmon could not be any easier. You do need to make sure your grill is screaming hot and generously greased so nothing sticks. If you have a favorite grilling basket/cake/thing for fish, feel free to use it! Another grilling suggestion from my other half is to use tongs instead of (or in addition to) just a spatula, it makes grilling so much easier no matter what you are grilling.
Everything about this dish is easy and delicious, perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also adaptable to serve a crowd and Continue reading Grilled Salmon & Asparagus with Lemon Basil Mayo
