I have always loved teriyaki chicken. It was one of my favorite meals growing up served with broccoli and brown rice and a little pineapple in the summer time. But I fell in love with it even more when moving to Seattle; where everyone has their favorite teriyaki place, which they claim has the best…
Shrimp and Avocado Salad: a light summer meal
In looking forward to warmer weather and summer activities I realized it was time to change up our dinner menu. With more sunshine and exercise it is high time to exchange the heavier oven and crock-pot meals for BBQs and salads; high in protein and veggies and low in carbs. My husband had mentioned recently…

I am not giving you a recipe (partly because I like to change things up and expect you would like your own variation and portions anyways). But here is how it works: Stage one: Cook up a pound of ground beef (I usually use 90/10 some…
