Chicken & Pea Salad with Lentil Spread, Cheddar Cheese, Butter Lettuce and Crostinis (by delaneyes)

Brussel Sprouts, Red Onion & Mozzerella Pizza (by delaneyes)

Mark made pizza dough, and nailed this homemade pizza! Fresh farmer’s market ingredients, handmade dough… it doesn’t get any yummier (or yuppier).

Upside Down Cinnamon Apple Cake (by delaneyes)

Adjusted the recipe found here: <a href=”http://www.marthastewart.com/313216/apple-cinnamon-bundt-cake” rel=”nofollow”>www.marthastewart.com/313216/apple-cinnamon-bundt-cake</a>

Dipped the apples on top in egg/butter/sugar mixture before placing them in the bottom and sides of the cake pan, then poured mixed batter over that.

My confectioner’s sugar icing was a little too thin, but other than that it was a nice, moist coffee-like cake. Perfect for breakfast, with a nice cup of coffee!

Turkey Burger with Guac, Carmelized Red Onion, and Dried Cranberries

This is how I usual order burgers at The Counter, but did it at home this time. There’s also a nice helping of extra sharp white cheddar on there. The cranberries are the odd addition but they add such a nice sweet and subtle kick in every other bite, I can’t pass them up!

Mark made this fresh and healthy salad using yellow beets, goat cheese, spring mix greens and pine nuts, with a good pour of balsamic vinegar and olive oil over everything.

Onion & Cheese Tart with Cream Cheese Crust

A delicious Mom recipe that I translated from the usual mini-tart rendition to a full tart size.

Conch Fritters (by delaneyes)

A favorite staple of Key West, conch fish fried into hush puppy balls. Unique and delicious local treat.

Salmon with Roasted Kale and Corn Succotash (by delaneyes)

Yet another inspiration from Bon Appetit: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/quick-recipes/2012/01/black-beans-and-rice-with-chicken-and-apple-salsa

I made bean & cheese burritos instead of their beans, chicken and rice, one of my staple “single girl” meals. They weren’t very photogenic so no picture, but I did make the apple salsa to go with them. It was SO fresh and delicious. I used Pink Lady apples instead of the Granny Smith (I find Granny Smith apples to be extremely overrated!) and lemon instead of lime juice (using what I had.) The taste was extremely bright, and while the apple was very sweet, it was nicely balanced back to savory with the cilantro.

And as always, I subbed Greek yogurt in for sour cream - it’s healthier, and tangy-er!

I want more.
