Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

Quinoa Veggie Bowl with a Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette

July 19, 2018 by pamflo

Some of the best salads I’ve had this summer have been a combination of vegetables, greens and grains with a protein. This is a very easy meal to prepare, especially if you recycle your leftovers. I composed my own bowl with leftover tri-colored quinoa and sautéed broccolini, fresh basil from my garden, sweet tomatoes, avocado and a hard boiled egg. Grains like brown rice, farro or freekeh work well. Add nuts or seeds for crunch or any type of greens […]

Soba Noodle Salad

Sesame Soba Noodle Salad

May 26, 2016 by pamflo

Fresh Peaches

Grilled Peaches over Greens

September 24, 2015 by pamflo

Plump and juicy, the peaches are perfect in September. When buying peaches, let your nose do the work, they should smell ripe and delicious. I had a hankering for grilled peaches and put this salad together for lunch. Make sure to use a neutral-flavored oil to grill the peaches. If you […]

Fish Tacos

Baked Fish Tacos

August 6, 2015 by pamflo

  A fish taco and a margarita on the rocks with salt, that’s heaven!  It’s been a summer filled with sampling some terrific fish tacos. There is the tangy slaw, the lightly fried white fish and the soft corn tortilla, that make up a fish taco. I took the best of each taco that I tasted and made my own version. I used tilapia, a firm but mild white fish and baked it, instead of frying it. I made a mayo-less slaw with two kinds of shredded […]
