Main Dishes

Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa – NeighborFood

This salmon recipe is simple, grillable, and ideal for entertaining during BBQ season; especially great for late nights lingering on patios. The easy foil-grilled salmon has an intense smoky heat that pairs beautifully with sweet mango, red onions, and cilantro.

This recipe calls for a two pound salmon fillet that is perfect for feeding a crowd (or having leftovers all week). Using a larger piece of salmon helps the fish cook fully without drying out on the grill. The foil packet and the high, steady heat of the grill produces the most perfect, tender, juicy salmon.

The smoky, sweet rub makes it even more irresistible. Gently eat with a fork, and it watch it fall apart like a dream. This salmon is melt-in-your-mouth perfection! Now all it needs is a scoop of this fresh mango salsa, paired with your favorite wine for a complete meal. Let the entertaining begin!

Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza – Fake Ginger

A homemade pizza with burger sauce, ground beef, crispy bacon, two kinds of cheese, and pickles! A great way to change up pizza night!

Cheeseburger sauce you ask? Yeah! Just ketchup and thousand island dressing, it’s surprisingly delicious that ties the whole cheeseburger pizza together. This dinner is made even more delicious in that it takes less than 30 minutes for it to turn up on the table.

Kids love it, moms love it, and if there’s anything left… dads will love it, too!

Breakfast

Chocolate Chip Walnut Bread – Melanie Makes

Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR bananas are packed into a single loaf of this Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread. That’s what gives it it’s beyond high moisture content.

This bread is rich and decadent, as any treat should be! The fact that it has so many bananas thrown in for good measure is just an added benefit. Bedazzled with chocolate chips and walnuts, be prepared to fall in love with this upon first bite! Go ahead and make two loaves, as the first one will disappear the moment it hits the table!
