Salmon and Asparagus Orzo

Spring is here, which means Asparagus is running rampant at the farmers market! And the salmon...we just eat a whole lot of that around here. Combine both of those with orzo and a light creamy sauce and we're in business!

The creamy sauce added the deliciousness that creamy sauce always does, but was also light enough to be refreshing for spring. In an effort to reduce carbs, I had a pretty high ratio of fish and veggies to pasta. 

Mr. KMW gave this a 10 out of 10 and is looking forward to this spring pasta being added to our dinner rotation!

Cheese Enchiladas with Chile con Carne

While I was way behind with my Deviled Eggs recipe post for Easter, I am on the ball in getting you ready for Cinco de Mayo!

You know I love my queso, well I also love Tex Mex in general. I was a HUGE fan of these enchiladas filled with cheesy goodness and topped with meaty goodness. It doesn't get much better than that, does it!?

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Recently Tammi over at Momma's Meals reached out to me to be a part of her 'Featured Friday'. The general gist was she tries out one of my recipes, I try out one of hers and we blog about it. Sounded fun to me, especially when I saw she had a pretty solid slow cooker section on her site!

I mean, I like slow cooker recipes, you guys like slow cooker recipes and apparently Tammi does to...sounds like a win, win, win to me.

I decided to try out her

Cod with Red Pepper Chorizo Ragout

To be honest with you guys, I am really busy so I'm going with a bookmark to blog post today.

What am I so busy with?

Filling out my March Madness brackets! As I've mentioned before (& here), I am a huge college basketball fan and this is my favorite time of year. I'm a die hard Kansas Jayhawks fan, and just because I'm now a Washington resident doesn't mean that I am on the Gonzaga bandwagon. I'm staying with my roots on this one.

Time to move onto the food, I'm sure you here to talk about that and not college basketball. I found this recipe over at MyRecipes and it was a hit in our apartment. It was easy to make, a nice presentation and had excellent flavors. Another recipe that would be prefect for guests. The only adaption I made was that I used Spanish Chorizo and sliced it up, instead of using ground Mexican Chorizo with casings removed.

Spicy Pork Ragu

If you're looking for some comfort food, this Spicy Pork Ragu will hit the spot.

The meat cooks low and slow, it is filled with flavor and in the end there is a lot of food. This fed the two of us for 3 dinners and we were still able to stow some away in the freezer for a rainy day. And let me tell you, I CANNOT wait for the rainy day we pull some ragu out of the freezer.

If you have the time to be at home to cook the meat for several hours, this would be excellent for company. That is, if you like your friends, and want them to come back for dinner again, because after this meal....they will be back! Don't hesitate
