I am so excited to bring you this post. This month I got assigned Jennifer’s blog: mother thyme! Jennifer is a mother of twins in Buffalo, NY and she has a gorgeous blog. Her recipes look so amazing, i had a tough time picking just one to feature. 

I think I’ve mentioned before, my favorite part of the secret recipe club is the chance to get to know other blogs that I may not otherwise had never heard of.  It is awesome (do you want to join? Here is how!).

although a difficult task, I did manage to choose a dish to feature on this installment of the secret recipe club. I chose Jennifer’ sausage, peppers and onion quiche!

this is a companion recipe to friday’s post of sauteed bok choy. i made this salmon to go with the bok choy because i wanted something light and healthy. the salmon fulfilled all these requirements and more. it made for an amazing dinner that i will definitely cook again!

i cooked the salmon inside parchment paper “pockets” or “envelopes”. the main reason i did this was because i wanted an easy clean up process but it ended up being a) easy to clean and b)delicious! the salmon was sort of steamed inside the parchment paper using the marinade as the liquid and infused the salmon with a ton of flavor. check out the recipe below, i hope you like it.

here is my recipe for baked salmon pockets (…or is it envelopes?)! 

Bok choy is a type of Chinese cabbage chock-full of vitamins A and C and absolutely delicious.  I first cooked bok choy about a month ago. I was in the supermarket when I saw the bok choy in the produce aisle and figured, “hey, I can cook this!” (Yes, apparently I am getting very confident about my cooking abilities). So I picked up a bunch, went home and cooked it – and loved it. I have cooked it a few times since and it is now I share with you how I made it.

Here is my sautéed bok choy recipe:

It is time for mussels again! I think you know how much I enjoy mussels, I am always posting a recipe for them. They are just so easy and delicious to make that I cannot help myself.

For this recipe I used pesto and chorizo. At first you wouldn’t think they’d go together well, but oh… they do. Yes friends, pesto and chorizo with some white wine makes for some delicious mussels.  the least i could do is share the recipe with you. so here it is: mussels with pesto & chorizo!!
