Poached Egg Salad with Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette
Sometimes it’s the simple things that are the best, and that couldn’t be more true than with this salad. Paired with a bright and tangy vinaigrette, this dish is well rounded and balanced… perhaps one of my favorites! I could really eat this dish every day and not get sick of it. I wonder if anyone else will have this same obsession? Poached Egg Salad with Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette Recipe by: Natalie Emerson Serves: 2 12... [Read More...]
Ham Egg & Cheese Savory Crepe
What can I say about this other than the fact that I love crepes - savory or sweet - they are delectable. The crepe batter recipe below is classic and fantastic. I used some Buckwheat flour in it as I like the nutty flavor and color it imparts on the dish. But if you don’t have buckwheat flour, simply substitute with all purpose flour. You can also use this recipe for sweet crepes, add a bit more sugar or don’t - it will still be good.... [Read More...]
Eggplant Pecan Dip with Pomegranate & Mint

It’s what I imagine the sensation of floating on clouds to be (of course, translated to the... [Read More...]
Bo Luc Lac - Vietnamese-Style Beef
This dish was very refreshing. It was also easy to make in very little time. Instead of using tenderloin, I used sirloin, and instead of using watercress, I used baby mache. I did not feel that the changes altered the deliciousness of this dish at all. And when it was all done and plated, I reserved the left over juices/sauce from the pan to use on another day to go with dumplings. If you a looking for a low-carb, quick to make dinner, this...

Avocado & Salmon Stack
It was lunchtime and the avocados in my kitchen were perfectly ripe. I wanted to make something light for my husband and I to eat, and after thinking for a little, I came up with this stack. Its incredibly simple. You can have it for lunch or as an appetizer. It can even be a canopy if made in a smaller size. Avocado and Salmon Stacks by Natalie of the BITES site 1 avocado ¼ lb smoked salmon 2 pieces bread (whole wheat or bread of choice) ½... [Read More...]
