Chicken Strawberry Salad with Avocado Poppy Seed Dressing
Salads and I were on a break during our loooooong drawn out winter. I just couldn’t get excited about salad as a main meal when there was still a wind chill. But now that warmer weather is in full bloom, I’m totally craving entree salads again. This Chicken Strawberry Salad with Avocado Poppy Seed Dressing has made an appearance on my menus several times in the last few weeks….it’s just that good.

Bacon Asparagus Bundles
Remember these? I gave you a sneak peek of them a few weeks ago when I wrote about the Maple Ginger Salmon. These Bacon Asparagus Bundles are my family’s new favorite way to eat asparagus. Why? Bacon, of course! This recipe has the best of both worlds: roasted asparagus with the distinctive flavor of sesame oil and slices of thick-cut bacon caramelized with brown sugar. When you combine the two, you have a mouthwatering sweet and savory combination that perfumes the entire house while it roasts…so yummy!

But if I’m being honest, I have been known to skip the sauntering part and hover near the table when breakfast consists of these super yummy Cheesy Ham and Spinach Egg Cups!

But coming up with new and flavorful ways to entice your family to eat salmon can be tricky, especially with kids. That’s why this Maple Ginger Salmon is a such a hit.

Avocado Cumin Yogurt Dip
I come from an extended family of dippers, which means there is almost always a dip at every family function. Chips, veggies, pitas, bread sticks, fruit, you name it, we dip it. I’m not entirely sure where this obsession with dips originated, but I’m proud to introduce another dip to our already considerable repertoire: Avocado Cumin Yogurt Dip.
