Spicy Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Eggs

June 12, 2019 By Lisa

Caesar Salad with Egg and Shrimp I LisaGCooks.com

Spicy Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Eggs This salad is inspired by one of my favourite Swedish dishes.  If you've ever been to Ikea then you already know which one!   I absolutely adore the open-faced shrimp sandwich with eggs. To switch it up I went with my spicy Caesar salad dressing and oh man was this good. I mean you have the cold ...

Marinated Flank Steak

June 6, 2019 By Lisa

Marinated Flank Steak I LisaGCooks.com

Marinated Flank Steak This winter sucked and now we have snow on Easter weekend? What is going on? We had a brief reprieve of the cold last week and my family capitalized on it and barbequed, without a parka! I’m not one to advocate writing off red meat, there are tons of vitamins and huge protein; I just advocate portion control which is key to a ...

Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

May 7, 2019 By Lisa

Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette I LisaGCooks.com

Corn and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette This salad tastes like summer in a bowl but really this could be made in the dead of winter. This salad can be made ahead or prepared in a pinch.

Basil Chimichurri

August 14, 2018 By Lisa

Basil Chimichurri I LisaGCooks.com

Basil Chimichurri Summer is slowly coming to an end and a great way to celebrate the fact that it’s still here is to enjoy the abundance of fresh herbs in the garden and to barbeque a delicious steak (and yes, we barbeque in the snow and fresh herbs are available all year round but there’s something magical about this time of year!), this dish is ...

Greek-ish Salad

May 20, 2018 By Lisa

Greek-ish Salad I LisaGCooks.com

Greek-ish Salad I made this for dinner tonight and thought I'd re-share!  Is re-share a word!?! I love this salad!  I’m pretty sure traditional Greek Salad doesn’t come with lettuce and that is why I am calling this “Greek-ish Salad”. As I’m sitting here writing this, I keep hearing Bart Simpson’s voice, “you don’t make friends with ...

Creamy Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Grainy Dijon Mustard

March 16, 2018 By Lisa

Creamy Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Grainy Dijon Mustard I don’t know about you but I am so over this winter. I decided I was going to rebel against it so I bought tons of fresh herbs and lemon to make a summer inspired dinner. I made this potato salad, served it with my Lemon-Garlic Marinated Grilled Chicken and steamed asparagus.   This ...

July 31, 2016 By Lisa 1 Comment

My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad I LisaGCooks.com

My Mother’s Supreme Potato Salad All hail! My mother IS the queen of potato salads and this is one she made for us last week. You get crunch from the radish, bursts of sweetness from the corn and a delicate sweetness and creaminess from the cooked shallots. Not to mention, it’s low fat! I think I may have been her inspiration for that! Serves 6 ...
