Memorial Day is the unofficial official kick-off to summer! And I can hardly wait! Summer is BBQ season and I love me some good BBQ. Not because of the meats, sauce, hot dogs or pie. Nope, my favorite part about BBQs are the sides, such as this Red White and Blue Potato Salad!

Paleo BLT Wrap with Avocado - The BLT used to be my most favorite sandwich. I think it was because having bacon as the main protein meant I could get away with eating it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! There is just something about its simplicity and the smokiness of the bacon with the acidity …

Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp - My first taste of hot and sour soup was at a Thai restaurant when I lived in Hawaii. It was late October and I was homesick. I was particularly missing the cold, stormy fall weather that I was used to ushering in soup season (my favorite season!).
I don't usually bake. I've always been good at it, but it just never seems quite as fun.

Roasted Lemon Thyme Chicken with Fall Veggies - I've lived in the lower-North East U.S. all of my life.

Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts - I'm a weirdo and love Brussels Sprouts. It's funny because I don't actually recall ever having them when I was younger. So maybe that is why I never learned to hate them at a young age (though I never did have a "I hate veggies" stage).
The marinade in this Lime Cilantro Chicken Tenders is what really makes it special -- just an hour or two of soaking in citrus and spice really imparts a multi-faceted flavor that makes the taste buds tingle.
