1 rotisserie chicken, 2 dinners: mexican salad

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Here is the salad we had with the second half of the shredded rotisserie chicken meat last week. Over a bowl of naked mixed greens and baby romaine, I put some cubed queso cheese, chopped avocado, diced onion and a bit of sweet corn (the frozen bagged kind, thawed and drained). For the [...]

green goddess dressing with grilled halibut & salad

Molly Wizenberg wrote about green goddess salad dressing in her Bon Appetit column last month, and I immediately wanted to try it (her writing has that effect on a lot of people I guess). Until Molly’s article, I thought “Green Goddess” was just a brand of dressing made by Annie’s Organics, but I’ve never tasted [...]

I’ve made guacamole on AHB before, and while I still stick to my original recipe of no-recipe-at-all, I’ve been making it more often recently and found a few new tricks that make it even better. So just in case you don’t have your own non-recipe down pat, let’s review this one.

I think everyone who picked up the most recent Domino mag fell in love with this recipe. Not just the idea of fish tacos (who doesn’t love fish tacos any day?), but the beautiful outdoor table setting, all the colors, all the “I just threw this little impromptu get-together with my friends and my [...]

cookbook review: raising the salad bar

I heard about this cookbook on NPR, where they were reviewing their favorite 10 new cookbooks, and had to order it. Here’s a little background: I already cook what I believe to be “healthy.” This doesn’t mean dieting or counting calories at all; my definition of healthy involves eating organic fruits and vegetables, [...]

What I’m about to tell you is a true story, and hopefully no one will get in trouble for it… The other day my neighbor, who works for a major airline here in Atlanta, knocked frantically on my door. She was holding a plastic bag and practically jumping with excitement. What’s was [...]

Bacon, egg whites, lettuce, heirloom tomato slices, mayo, extra sharp cheddar, all on a toasted bun. How could you NOT have the best Sunday ever?

In the June issue of F&W, there’s an article about “great ways to use guacamole”. Normally if I make guacamole, there’s never any leftovers that I need to worry about, but since I’m always looking for ways to eat more avocado, I really liked this recipe. Starting with a base of guacamole, you [...]

grilled grouper with cheddar grits, tostadas and chipotle salsa

Several weeks ago I went to Buckhead Diner for lunch, and had one of those entrees that you think about for days afterwards. It was such a unique combination of things - cheesy grits underneath a couple of crisp tostadas, with grilled mahi-mahi, all topped with a smoky chipotle sauce and fresh guacamole. [...]

I’m obsessed with avocados in any form, so guacamole is one of my favorite foods. This is how I normally make it, although you can make this as basic as avocado, lime juice and salt and it would still be delicious.
