  • Garlic Pesto Salmon
    Salmon is one of my favorite foods to cook with. It’s almost impossible to screw up, it’s easy to season and it always looks classy. It fully embraces my gourmet the lazy way mantra. This particular salmon dish only requires a few ingredients and it’s gluten free. Even if you’re not a fish person I encourage you to give ...

  • Gouda Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
    The year of El Nino is upon us and we’ve seen more snowfall this year than I could’ve imagined. When I say “we’ve” seen a lot of snowfall this year, I don’t really mean me because I happen to live in sunny San Diego where snow is foreign concept. I have family in Colorado and ...

Now don’t get me wrong, I love fried zucchini and fried pickles just as much as the next guy but those appetizers are anything but healthy. Some of my favorite finger food ...
