Smoked Salmon Salad with Brown Butter Vinaigrette

Now that I live in Seattle, I've become pretty tight with Smoked Salmon. Our relationship just started a couple of weeks ago, but it's off to a fantastic start. It's something easy to pick up at the market and keep in the freezer until it is needed. And if you're not into the freezer or refrigerator, the guy at the market told me it would last four days out of the fridge. I think I'll have to bring some with us the next time we go camping!

This salad is just the beginning, coming to KMW soon will be a tasty breakfast with Smoked Salmon and Smoked Salmon and Quinoa Patties. As I said, this is just the beginning of what I see to be a strong relationship...so I hope you're a fan!

Can we also talk about the Brown Butter Vinaigrette? If you haven't already heard, you can never, ever go wrong when it comes to Brown Butter. The dressing almost didn't make it onto the salad, because I was tempted to just drink it straight out of the pot I made it in.

Buffalo Chicken Burgers

We LOVE all things buffalo in our house, and these buffalo chicken burgers surpassed all of our expectations. And no, it wasn't because we have low expectations. 

This is why...

Buffalo sauce was mixed into the chicken patties and then more was slathered on while grilling.  

Blue cheese crumbles were mixed into the patties, just look at it oozing out below.

and, I added shredded carrots into the patties, so that means I could tell myself they were healthy :)

The burgers were then topped with avocado and immediately devoured. These were seriously so good, if you are a fan of buffalo sauce or my Pulled Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches these are a must try! 

Thanks to Stefanie over at Sarcastic Cooking, her tweet about the Buffalo Turkey Burgers she made were my inspiration. It also made me want buffalo wings for breakfast.

Grilled Portabella Mushroom Pizza with Artichokes

This post is going to be short and sweet. I'm exhausted from a day of eating. We went to the Food Truck Rodeo in Fremont, where we feasted on Short Rib Tacos, Pork Belly Hum Bao, Jamaican Patties, Pizza, Pulled Pork, Lumpia, Caramel and Vanilla donuts, Ice Cream, etc. Oh and we bought the tickets where you can get in early to beat the crowd, all of this started at 10 am, let's just say it was one heck of a breakfast!

I love mushrooms and I love pizza. Granted, this recipe is pretty different than actual pizza, but it involves pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella so you really can't complain. It's healthier and it's also REALLY

Moroccan Carrot Soup

I totally thought I was on the ball last week, placing my Amazon Fresh order on Sunday night for the week's groceries. I had my dinners planned out and I was really looking forward to making this Moroccan Carrot Soup. Then when I was going to bed, I realized I forgot to include carrots in my grocery order. Kind of a key ingredient in when Monday nights dinner is carrot soup...ooops!

Since I'm posting this you know I got my hands on some carrots and boy did this soup really hit the spot! I definitely wish I would have doubled the batch. Even Mr. KMW who was totally skeptical of Carrot soup had 3 bowls...hence me wishing I doubled the batch. I was pretty sad when

Crispy Baked Fish Nuggets

Here is the fish portion of our fish and chips dinner that I promised you earlier this week. When I saw these Crispy Baked Fish Nuggets that Laurie posted over at Simply Scratch I really wanted to give them a try. And no it's not because they brought me back to my childhood, I'm pretty sure fish sticks never touched my plate as a kid.

They just looked so simple, fresh and crisp and the recipe happened to involve some ingredients I was trying to use up before I moved...panko, mustard and hot sauce. Not to mention, it gave me an excuse to make french fries on the side!

The recipe definitely lived up to my expectations, crispy exterior and tender fish on the inside. I'll be making these again. For a dipping sauce, I
