Orange BBQ Chicken and Quinoa Fried Rice

Mel and TammyLeave a comment

Enjoy the flavors of Chinese takeout orange chicken with American BBQ in this mouth-watering dish! I was inspired by the Neely’s Honey Orange BBQ Chicken for this recipe. The glaze is so good you’ll want to drink it haha. The chicken is most flavorful marinated overnight so remember to plan ahead. I also created a healthy take on fried rice using wholesome quinoa. You will not miss the rice! Grill this up for your family and friends this summer!

Zucchini Quinoa Patties w/ Dill Cream

Mel and Tammy2 Comments

These wholesome little patties pack in so much flavor using simple ingredients, and they are carb/gluten free! You can enjoy them as a light snack or lunch, or alongside a lean protein for a healthy meal. The delicious dill cream adds a bright contrast to the savory patties. Hope you love them as much as my hubby and I did!

Grilled Yellowtail with Lemon Basil Butter and Roasted Asparagus Quinoa

Mel and TammyLeave a comment

There’s nothing better than being able to cook up and enjoy something that was freshly caught, especially when it’s from my own hubby. Dane took an overnight fishing trip to Mexico with his buddy Ernie a few days ago and brought home three Yellowtails! Now we have the opportunity to experiment with different Yellowtail recipes for days woohoo! The best way to really enjoy the flavor of the fish though is with simple preparation and ingredients. I especially love flavored herb butters to top the fish with. This is one of my favorites and it goes perfectly with any type of seafood and even vegetables.
