With the holidays right around the corner, I love coming up with festive dishes that don’t take all day to prepare. Cranberries were a big staple in my family growing up. I’m reminded of this every time they go on sale and my dad has around 30 bags in his freezer, haha! But they are … Pan-Seared Salmon with Cranberry-Fig Sauce
Our grill has gotten a lot of use lately since we both have been super busy and want dinner on the table fast (and we are taking advantage of the fact that grilling is still an option!).

Salmon is a favorite in our household because it’s not only delicious and healthy, but it cooks super quickly so dinner is on the table in no time. It can be prepared in numerous ways, but this one is definitely one of the best (especially if you have people who don’t typically like salmon). I like … Baked Salmon with Crunchy Pecan Crust
If you’re a citrus fan like me, then you will love this dish. I pumped up the flavor of the butter with a ton of citrus zest and the fish just marinates in that delicious as it cooks in the parchment paper.

I’m a huge fan of shrimp and grits, and with a New Orleans trip right around the corner, I can’t wait to try all the comfort food down there.

I love crab cakes as an appetizer, but adding them to a BLT adds a whole other level of flavor. The sweet crab combines perfectly with the salty bacon and the chipotle mayo (which is one of my favorite condiments to make) provides a wonderful spicy kick. Serve this meal with a leafy green salad … Crab Cake BLTs with Chipotle Lime Mayo
This is a 15 minute meal that is pretty enough for entertaining. I’ve always been a fan of anything pickled, and this pickle aioli is one of my favorite sauces yet. It adds a perfect punch of flavor on top of the crispy, buttery salmon. Serve this with salad, baked fries or mashed potatoes. 1. … Cracker Crusted Salmon with Dill Pickle Aioli
During crazy work weeks, I love any dish that is on the table in less than 15 minutes. This recipe tastes gourmet, but is simple enough that your kids could help with prep (which I always encourage!). I recommend serving this with a big leafy green salad or roasted cauliflower. If you can’t have regular … Fusilli with Garlic Shrimp and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
We have officially entered picnic and camping season and most of the time that means some planning ahead in order to make sure everyone has a variety of fun food to try. In recent years, it seems there are at least 1 or 2 people who need some gluten-free items on the menu. While I … Grain-Free Tuna Artichoke Pasta Salad
A few years back, Josh and I took a trip to the upper peninsula where we enjoyed the most delicious smoked whitefish.
