In my quest to become Ina Garten, I decided to go outside of my comfort zone a bit and try something I’ve never made before, salmon. I love salmon, I order it in restaurants all the time, but I’ve never made it. I’ll be honest the price tag has always detoured me. However it was totally worth it and it really wasn’t that expensive. If you’re looking for a special meal or just something different try out this salmon because it was honestly delicious.

This past week has been super hectic for me. Whenever life throws me some curve balls I crave comfort food, and for myself that means pasta. I wanted to mix it up a bit and I happened to have some shrimp on hand. I love shrimp linguine, it’s something I order at a restaurant a lot. I looked at a lot of recipes online and saw some things they all had in common and then I put my spin on it. Hope this could be your go to comfort food!

As an Italian I can tell you my favorite food is pasta and sauce. I’ve tried a lot of sauces out there and this is one of my favorites. This is a recipe that has some heat to it, so if you’re not a fan of that, feel free to scale it back or eliminate it all together.

So this week I thought we’d switch things up a bit and so I’m giving you three recipes in one. Things on toast has become very popular over the last year. It’s something that’s quick, easy and can be pretty healthy over all. These are three of my favorites. None of these take more than a few minutes to put together and they all make a great snack!

You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And what better way to make it fun and healthy then with breakfast nachos. These nachos aren’t just for breakfast they can be for lunch, dinner or a midnight snack. This recipe is a little different then my others, in that it has two parts. Don’t you fret it’s still super easy and super yummy, with very little guilt.

Since it’s been unseasonably warm the last few days and it seems like there is no sign of slowing down, I broke out the grill again. I love making grilled chicken, it’s so quick and easy and there are so many options. Take advantage of the remaining nice weather and get out and grill.

Treat Yourself Tuesday
