Freshen UP!
Texas “Sunshine” Relish
Relish from around these parts…diced orange, cucumber and grapefruit dressed in a lavender infused agave and packed inside tiny toasted baguettes from the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort! Right now, our latest site promotion is a chance to Win a Stress-Free Weekend in the Texas Hill Country. Free to enter and good for you and a ‘+1’ 🙂 . The contest includes a two (2) night stay in a deluxe guestroom, plus a full day of pampering at the Hyatt’s Windflower Spa.
Re-hydrating Lemonade
Chef John O’Larnic is the lone wolf behind Chef’s Backyard and this Re-hydrating Lemonade, made with fresh lemons, cucumber, basil and no added sugar! Intead, Chef John uses stevia in the raw – an all-natural sweetener and sugar substitute that has zero calories. Served at room temperature your body will absorb the nutrients better, BUT this can be very refreshing served over ice as well.
Salads Here to Stay…
Shan State Tomato Salad
Asian street food and cool craft beer collide at Tuk Tuk Tap Room…the perfect Pho-mentation as they like to call it! This Myanmar (Shan State) Tomato Salad is a menu fixture they’re known for: plum and green tomatoes, lime, dried shrimp, long bean, and peanuts make for an insanely fresh side salad served with puffed rice crackers or steamed jasmine rice.
California Kale and Kamut Chicken Salad
Kale, Roma tomatoes and fresh avocado tie this killer Kamut Chicken Salad from the good folks at Sysco together. It’s the dressing, however, that really did us in…a devilishly DELICIOUS lemon-lime Caesar!
The Big Finish…
Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Sweet Potato Hash
A second, yet equally enticing entry from Zedric’s: a Flat Iron Steak with homemade sweet potato hash in a zesty Chermoula sauce. Chef Lutton’s Chermoula is a mixture of herbs, lime juice, olive oil, salt and a few others. Find the full recipe above. Truly an impressive (and easy) entrée fit with flavor!
