Avocado Gazpacho

I’m a HUGE fan of the avocado. If I were ever going to get a tattoo, it would be of this delicious, rich, oily fruit. Avocados are rich and luxurious… they go well on sandwiches, omelets, and salads. This avocado gazpacho recipe is perfect for those warm summer days when you’re craving soup, and want something to cool your palate.

Knorr Pasta Sides

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Giant Eagle for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My Father introduced me to the Knorr brand when I was growing up. Both of my folks were avid cooks, but didn’t always have time to prepare dishes from scratch. Knorr products were convenient, easy to use, and flavorful for a myriad of dishes that my family and I enjoyed while growing up.

I recently prepared Salmon Herb Pasta with Knorr’s Pasta Sides- it was simple to prepare, and came out beautifully.

Lobster Bisque

Lobster bisque is an extremely decadent, rich, flavorful soup. I recently made a large batch for a member’s brunch at the Allegheny Club. The secret to successful lobster bisque is to not rush the dish. Prepare this velvety soup when you have a few hours of time to dedicate to it.

Chicken Chili

I’m a big fan of chili, especially during the cold winter months. I don’t make traditional chili too often because I find ground meat too fatty, and kidney beans waxy. This Chicken Chili recipe is delicious, nutritious, and satisfying.

How to Prepare Frozen Fish

It’s not always easy to get to the market before dinner, especially if you work full-time, or have have children at home. It’s often easier to purchase food in bulk, place it in the freezer, and prepare it during the week. Frozen fish that can be bought ahead of time- but be careful, not all seafood items are freezer-friendly.

Summer is right around the corner and if you’re like me, most of your cooking will be done on the grill outside. Salmon is a meaty fish that lends itself well to kebabs. Try skewering different veggies and fruit with your fish- the possibilities are endless!
