"I'm not a chef. But I'm passionate about food - the tradition of it, cooking it, and sharing it." - Zac Posen
You guys know I love to cook! So, I am sharing some of the recent, fun recipes we have been cooking up in our kitchen. Experimenting with different dishes, and making our favorites meals is something that I love to do. There is absolutely nothing better then trying something new and falling in love with it!

Scallop Salad - pan seared scallops, garnished with crispy bacon, tomatoes, avocado, arugula, and a lemon olive oil dressing.
This scallop salad is absolutely one of our fave salads and it's super delicious. We love pairing this dish with a glass of Rose, and warm grilled naan!
Pan Fried Oysters - freshly shucked oysters, lightly floured, and fried paired with lemon pepper seasoned french fries.
As you guys know, fried oysters are one of my favorite things! They are super easy to make too. Gently rinse off the oysters, and season the flour with preferred seasonings. Personally, I use lemon pepper and cayenne pepper. Dip the oysters in egg-wash (water and egg mixture) and dredge them in the seasoned flour. Then fry them in canola oil until they are crispy! I love dipping them in hot sauce - so so good!
Shrimp Salad - lemon pepper shrimp on a bed of arugula, cucumber, red onion, bacon, tomatoes, cilantro and lime and olive oil dressing.
Much like the scallop salad, this shrimp dish is super light and fresh! I love how filling this is and all of the ingredients really blend well together.
Crispy Chicken Biscuit - panko breaded chicken breast, on a bed of arugula, spicy mayo, and avocado.
What happens when Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday? Well you make this awesome sandwich. G and I love spice, so I made a spicy mayo, and added some fresh veggies to brighten up this delicious chicken biscuit!
The Ultimate Nachos -tortilla chips, grilled chicken, bacon, melted and shredded pepper-jack cheese, jalapenos, pickles, peppers, spicy sour cream and fresh homemade guacamole.
G is really obsessed with nachos and loves when I make them for him. You can make these to share with a bunch of people, or keep it all to yourself!
Cast Iron Steak & Veggies - cast iron steak paired with sauteed baby broccoli and white mushrooms.
The perfect rib-eye, another of G's top picks to have at home. It's a new favorite for him, and the cast iron is perfect kitchen accessory to achieve the perfect sear on this steak! Fresh sauteed veggies are always a must - baby broccoli and white mushrooms are the perfect compliment to this dish.
What are some of your fave meals to make at home?
