We might need to declare this 'lunch recipes' week...although any of the recipes could be served for a simple supper on a busy weeknight, they'd also make for a delicious lunch. In fact, I'm skipping a salad for lunch today and having sliders instead. I'll be back to salads tomorrow, and sharing a crazy delicious new salad with you on Friday! I don't share too many seafood … [Read more...]

Honey Mustard Salmon Salad
