Friday Food - Armenian Kebabs

This was yet another excellent meal from the Sunset Best Recipes 2010 magazine - So amazing Armenian lula kebabs. I thought it would be very involved, but it actually went quite fast and was delicious!
With the kebabs, I made a bulgur pilaf with onion and spinach and sauteed some carrots with fresh tarragon. Click here to find the recipe! Enjoy!!

Friday Food - Grilled Chicken with Pickled Tomato Salsa

Here, another delicious recipe from the Sunset Best Recipes 2010 Magazine - Grilled Cilantro Chicken with Pickled Tomato and Avocado Salsa. This one was a little more involved, but preparing it was a delight for the senses.
Especially when quickly frying the mixture below (garlic, ginger, cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, cayenne, salt and pepper) in some olive oil before pouring it over the tomatoes.
Not only did this dish look beautiful, but it was unusual and delicious as well!
Find the recipe here. Guten Appetit!!

Friday Food and Flowers

The other day, I dropped Daniel off at a bookstore for him to just run in quickly to look for an art magazine he needed. He found it, but he also came out with this magazine for me - well, really for us, since he'll be enjoying the food I make... When we lived in California and even in New Mexico, I subscribed to Sunset Magazine and always enjoyed it. So, after I read it cover to cover, I thought I'd try some of the recipes and share them with you if we liked them.

This was a very easy dish called Spicy Turkey Sausage with Black-Eyed Peas and Spinach. It was fast, it was easy and it was delicious! Instead of serving it on rice, I served it with quinoa that I cooked in broth. Yummy!! You can find the recipe here.
And then I just had to share these flowers with you! One day this week, I noticed that one of our amaryllis stalks had been knocked over in a rain storm, so I just had to bring it inside as well as a few of our stunning hydrangeas.
So pretty!! They make me smile every time I walk past.
Good food and flowers - what more could I want? I hope you are all having a delicious Friday!!
