We have always loved seared ahi tuna but we thought it was something we could only eat at restaurants. That was until this past Thanksgiving when we were in Hawaii and our neighbor taught us how to sear ahi tuna, just like the restaurants do it.
You will know by how colorful this meal is that it is healthy. Introduce your kids to seafood by sneaking scallops and shrimp into kid-friendly tacos.
Similar to crêpes and Swedish pancakes, these Norwegian pancakes are a favorite in my family. They are a fun meal because you can serve them with a smorgasbord of toppings and fillings.
Nachos are a fun and colorful way to serve a meal to your family and they are also the perfect party fare. While the tortilla chips are a splurge, the loaded nachos provide a lean protein, vegetables and calcium. Load ’em up with lime chicken {or your favorite meat}, beans, guacamole, salsa and chopped tomatoes and let everyone dig in.
Let each person add the ingredients of choice to a Ziploc bag. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for 8-13 minutes. Open the bags and the omelets will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Everyone gets involved in the meal process and breakfast becomes a great conversation piece!
My favorite time of year to make this salsa is in the summer and early fall when we are harvesting the tomatoes and peppers from our garden. It is great in many dishes, including fish tacos, omelettes and fajitas.
We incorporate this salsa verde into many of our dishes. Outside of traditional Mexican food, it is also excellent for marinating chopped ham and sausage for breakfast dishes. Make it as spicy (or not spicy) as you would like by adjusting the peppers in the mix.
You can’t go wrong with soft and chewy peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss. These cookies are great for parties and gifts because they look festive and yet they’re easy to make.
True to its name, this Fiesta dish is like a party in your mouth! It’s a great way to transform leftovers into an exciting and colorful meal.
When I lived in France I usually got these with a simple topping of powdered sugar and fresh berry jam. But when I was in the mood for a decadent treat, I ordered them with Nutella.
