This has got to be the BEST giveaway ever and a great idea for a foodie gift. Love it!

Oh, and Kalamata :)

I've been working non-stop since yesterday morning, so it's lazy night tonight. Roasted chicken-apple sausages, roasted brussel sprouts and spaghetti squash with chimichurri.

It's lazy because the sausage and squash are leftovers :)

Spicy Breakfast sausage with a touch of apricot jam and some grated Parmesan. Sounds weird, but my mom made these for my bridal shower and they were a HUGE hit.

Steamed or sauteed shrimp with pesto and pancetta (based off this recipe).

Some others: Bruschetta topping & shaved pecorino, olive tapenade, slices of steak with a bit of chimmichuri, pulled pork

definitely cinnamon

I pack my husband's lunch and my own every day because, like you say, it's healthier and cheaper (and most often, tastier). Some of my go-to's:

- Soups (lentil, black bean and bacon, corn chowder, potato and beer, tomato and basil, etc.) w/half sandwiches (all kinds)
- Pasta with sauteed spicy sausage, broccoli and tomatoes (or squash this time of year)
- Fried Rice made with leftover rice and veggies
- Egg salad sandwiches (all different kinds - traditional, curried, etc.)
- Cold grain salads like orzo salad with peppers, chickpeas, red onion, tomato, feta and herb-y vinagrette

And usually plain Greek yogurt and a little granola for snack...

I really love the Dogfish Punkin Ale. It's a great after-dinner beer, or nice snack-like sippin' beer. Not too sweet.

I'm bias though. I love Dogfish Head so very much (60 minute IPA! Aprihop! Black & Blue!)

7 AM: steel cut oat w/peanut butter and blueberries stirred in, coffee, babybel cheese
12:45 PM: homemade white bean, kale and mini lamb meatball soup, selzter
3 PM: 2 clementines
8PM: Jerk Mahi burgers, spinach and apple salad

I might as well just add mine, too :)

Bitchin' Camero

I still have no idea. One of the following:

1. Jerk Mahi Sandiwches w/spinach, apple and blue cheese side salad

2. Roasted Brussel sprouts w/poached egg and parmesan

Help me decide!

grilled skirt steak (marinated in beer), spaghetti squash with pistachio pesto

Ah! I was looking for these last night. I guess they haven't made it to Miami yet :(

Agree with the above - you can't go wrong with sauteing in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice salt and pepper.

I also really like them thinly sliced and stir fried with onions and sausage, then tossed with pasta and olive oil. I probably make this for lunch once a week. Especially good with rainbow chard.

Also, soups. Like Spanish Caldo Gallego, a white bean and ham soup with tons of greens. I'm posting a new soup recipe on my blog tomorrow that's basically white bean soup w/kale and mini lamb meatballs.
