Sweet Potato Quinoa Cakes with Blueberry Salsa

These were a hit. Blackberries weren't an option at Haymarket this weekend, so I made blueberry salsa and used both lemon and lime juice. I also made spinach salad with sauteed portabellas, goat cheese and avocado, and it was actually really good to mix the whole thing together with the extra quinoa. Key lime pie for dessert!

Fresh Margarita Chicken




We had this last week.  It was really tasty.  A nice spring-y variation on grilled chicken.
We served it with Salscamole- two avocados mashed together with a jar of salsa.

Avocado Chicken Salad



 This is what I made last night. The avocados weren't ripe, so it was a little subpar, but I grilled them with a little salt and lime juice to give them more flavor. I also substituted Greek yogurt for mayonnaise, because Bethany's mayophobic. We put it in a wrap with spinach and goat cheese- the goat cheese made it. http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Chicken-and-avocado-salad-with-lime-and-cilantro-309228
