Dirty Martini Salad
Dirty Vodka Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives is my absolute favorite drink and when I order at a restaurant or make it at home I would always have some extra blue cheese stuffed olives on the side. Dirty Vodka Martini was my inspiration for this salad and it turned out outstanding. Beautiful presentation and you just can’t stop eating and smacking. It’s salty, peppery, cheesy and olive oil smooths everything out. Will be making it all the time! Let me show you how I made it.

Butterflied Grilled U12 Shrimp
If you are not familiar with U12 shrimp, it’s a size of shrimp, meaning that in 1 pound will be under 12 shrimps. It’s very large and juicy shrimp. What’s the biggest shrimp size? Extra colossal shrimp is the largest size available in seafood markets with counts as large as 5 shrimp per pound. However, there are Asian tiger shrimp that weigh 7-11 ounces each with a count of just 1-2 per pound. I have made with smaller (size 16-20) shrimp, works just perfect.
Quinoa and Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Colorful, full of flavor and texture salad. Can be served hot, room temperature or cold. Either way it’s delicious! I served it as a side dish with a pan seared cod, but if you would like, you can make it vegetarian dinner. Quinoa and all the vegetables make a full nutritious meal.

After you try this recipe, deviled eggs will never be the same. It’s very easy recipe and requires a minimum equipment. You only need a regular (any kind will do ) grill and a smoking tube with wood pellets. I have a full detailed description of how to use a smoking tube.
Chicken and Mushroom Turnovers
When we travel, I always like to grab some homemade food, place in a cooler and have it rather than stop for a pathetic burger on the road. It takes only 20-30 min to prepare and you can make filling a day before and just fill up puff pastry pockets and shovel in the oven and you are done! These turnovers are great for any day snack, travel, park, school or work lunch or casual parties. Let’s get started!
