The Thai Chicken Salad from Panera Bread Company is one of my favorite salads. It is fantastic. It has everything I look for in a great meal. Crunchy, a little heat, a little sweet, sour, tangy and lots of savory. The dressing, the peanut drizzle… nom, nom. I would say, I love this salad, so…

Super Easy Guacamole Recipe
I love guacamole. It is so easy to make and very healthy. My wife wasn’t a big fan of avocado or guacamole. I think it was because she had never tasted the real fresh made stuff. Well, at a local favorite restaurant called Papas and Beer they make it table side. Guess what? Now she…
Black Eyed Peas and Collard Soup with Smoked Turkey and Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese with Cranberry-Orange Relish
New Years leftovers done right. I knew right away when I started planning out my New Years day meal (SOUS VIDE “SMOKED” TURKEY, BLACK-EYED PEAS, COLLARD GREENS AND CORNBREAD WITH TURKEY SKIN CHIPS) it would turn into a great soup. The leftovers were “Smoked” turkey, black-eyed peas and spicy collard greens. I also had turkey…
Chorizo Tacos
Chorizo, cotija, onion, cilantro and jalapeno. Those simple ingredients are all you need for some of the best tacos I’ve had. In this country tacos tend to be loaded down with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. No need here, simple is just fine. There is a little restaurant here in Greenville, SC called…
Publix Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Holiday Sub on Multigrain.
If you don’t have a Publix near you, it might be time to consider relocating. For those not familiar, it is a grocery store or supermarket primarily in the Southern states of the east coast. They are ALL always clean. The employees are always nice. Their products are of the highest quality and their prices…
Falafel Burgers with Tzatziki and Baked Greek Fries
Not feeling meat? Try these delicious falafel burgers with tzatziki. I love Greek food. Walking down our main street the other weekend, I passed a sign for a new restaurant advertising falafel burgers. Pretty much the next day I made these. They turned out light but still satisfying. I’m no vegetarian, but we could all…
Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich
I love Banh Mi sandwiches. Fresh, spicy, tangy, crunchy, all the good stuff. This may not be a traditional Banh Mi but it tastes close to them. I used leftovers from several other meals listed below so this is one of the easiest meals you’ll see me post. I had the pork loin, I had…
Hearty and Healthy Three Bean Turkey Chili
When temperatures dip, this hearty and healthy chili will hit the spot. The funny thing about this recipe is that I totally had to make up for the fact that I had less than a teaspoon of chili powder. We usually have plenty of chili powder but we were just out, so all the dry…
Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich at The Nose Dive
Restaurants can come and go pretty quickly. One restaurant that opened with great fan fare in downtown Greenville was The Nose Dive. The next in a long growing line of Table 301 Restaurants that include local favorites like Soby’s, The Lazy Goat and Devereaux’s. The Nose Dive was a long time coming. Opening in the…
