Jamie of Dinner with the Bickfords
from Maryland
Asian Noodles in Satay Sauce
I’m a sucker for Asian recipes. For the most part, many Asian cuisines lean more towards the healthy side and Jamie’s recipe for Asian Noodles with Satay Sauce is one of them. The colors of this dish is great and is full of vegetables… and we all know we need to add more to our diet (at least I do!) Check out Jamie’s blog for the recipe!satay-6862130

Smitha of Kadumanga
from Trichur, India
Chickpea Salad with Cumin Dressing & Yogurt Sauce

Christie of Stump the Chef
from Florida
Tilapia with Cherries & Almonds
I happen to enjoy fish recipes and I wish I could prepare it more often. But Christie certainly does a great job in inspiring me. She shares with us the recipe for Tilapia with Cherries & Almonds and who knew it would work so well with the mild flavors of tilapia! Check out Christie’s blog for the recipe and give this a try to change up your usual fish dinner!img_1378-6039172

Kara of What’s Kookin in Kara’s Kitchen
from Virginia
Chipotle Chicken & Tomato Soup
Kara joins us to share this recipe… and you know it has to be good if it’s featured in our roundup more than once! (See below). So click click click! Check out Kara’s blog for the recipe!chipotlechickensoupblog-9530597

Karen of Loves To Eat
from Florida
Roasted Chicken with Lemon & Oranges
A classic roast chicken is pretty healthy as it is (assuming it’s not coated with a lot of butter before baking!)… but introducing citrus flavors to this classic dish brings it to a whole new level. Karen roasts her first whole chicken and uses orange and lemon juice to add a burst of freshness. You’ll want to pay a visit to Karen’s blog for the recipe and the results of how her very first roasted chicken turned out!p1040026-7354123

Amy of Just 2 Good
from Florida
New Potatoes with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette
Do you think you have all the potato recipes you need? I beg to differ. This potato dish that Amy shares with us is one you’ll want to add to your potato rotation. Why? For one, it’s not full of butter and cream… and it involves a great vinaigrette that has a lot of flavor. Besides, who doesn’t like the caramel sweetness of roasted garlic? Check out Amy’s blog for the recipe and give this a try soon!roasted-potatos-with-vin-9869537

Beth of Someone’s in the Kitchen with Brina
from Maryland
Mo-Rockin’ Slow Cooker Stew
If you haven’t pulled out your slow cooker this season, here’s a delicious reason to now. Brina shares her Mo-Rockin’ Slow Cooker Stew which is a recipe that doesn’t call for a canned cream soup that many slow cocker recipes include. If you like flavors of Moroccan cuisine and are looking for a dish to incorporate more vegetables, this is it… and even better is that the dish is cooked in a crockpot! Go ahead, click over to Brina’s blog and check it out. You know you’re intrigued and are itching to use that crockpot!picture003-5848693
