It’s been a crazy couple of months for us: We got married, bought a house, and now are working hard to get the new place ready to move in. When we’re looking for a quick and easy meal that is versatile and lasts all week, we turn to this tuna salad recipe. That said, we’re back to working on packing. We can’t wait to see you in the new year with new recipes, a new look (!?), and more.

Bacon-wrapped Lamb Roast
When I was a young girl, my parents served lamb with mint jelly literally every time we had it. Plus, the lamb was often overcooked. (Sorry, Mom and Dad!) Of course, I didn’t realize that at the time. I thought lamb was supposed to be like that; and the mint jelly actually helped counteract the bland, dry, chewiness of it.
Lamb can be so much more, though. From lamb chops to lamb shanks, there are a variety of preparations and flavor combinations that work with this delightful meat. This roast recipe is super simple, moist, and delicious. Plus, it looks super fancy and feels very appropriate for a big holiday dinner with lots of friends and family.
Balsamic Flank Steak
Of all the vinegars in the world, there’s something really special about balsamic vinegar. It’s great with proteins, vegetables, even many fruits. It can be used in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and more. One of the easiest ways to enjoy this dynamic condiment is on steak.
Prepare this recipe the night before, and you’ll have most of your dinner cooked in 10 minutes or less! We recommend you serve the flank steak over lettuce greens for a salad, or with our oven-roasted brussels sprouts for a delightfully quick and easy to prepare dinner that won’t disappoint!
Thanksgiving Leftovers Turkey Salad
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to make an insane amount of food and celebrate with friends and family. We had our first Thanksgiving as a married couple, and ate for several people. Despite our best efforts, we still had a lot of leftover food. Normally we package up our leftovers and ration them out for the week after Thanksgiving, but this year we wanted to try something different.
Mixing turkey with a homemade mayonnaise with our extra cranberries and pecan chips was fantastic. This spin on chicken salad is delicious and made the leftovers feel new again. You’ll want to give this recipe a try.
Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts
We buy brussels sprouts with some regularity throughout the year. They are a healthy and tasty side for many dishes, and we can make a big batch of them pretty easily. It’s almost laughable, but leftover brussels sprouts is one of our favorite snacks. So, when we make them, they rarely last.
This particular version of roasted brussels sprouts actually came about because we wanted to do something a little different as a side dish for a special project to which we are contributing. We can’t tell you any more than that, but stay tuned and we’ll make an announcement soon.
Meanwhile, make these brussels sprouts. We know you’ll love them!
