epicurean delights

I'm no stranger in the kitchen, but I'm far from being a culinary genius.  I love to cook and bake and I especially love plating food in a way that makes me smile.  After all, we do eat with our eyes first.  Here's what I've been cooking lately.  If you have any recipes you love and want to share, let me know.  Follow me on Instagram (@elisharon) to see what other epicurean delights I create!

The Elisharon Eaterie

In the epicurean world, I am a novice when creating meals.  That doesn't stop me from having fun and experimenting in the kitchen.  Sometimes, the simplest dishes are the best.  I enjoying making food that's simple, yet tasty.  I also love "styling" food.  We do eat with our eyes, first, right?  I've been known to make Kraft macaroni & cheese look "gourmet". :)

Tonight, I prepared something super simple; a mini shrimp and avocado quesadilla on a hearty corn tortilla.  And what better way to wash it down with than an frosty shot of Patron.  Oh Yum!

Here are a few other  meals the Pirate and I enjoyed at the Elisharon Eaterie...

{Spinach, sun dried tomato, feta, garlic turkey slider on a pretzel roll, topped with red onion, 

Roma tomato, sprouts, and avocado. Tarragon Dijon  mustard.  

Hana-grown haricot vert with more garlic!  Kale & mushroom salad}

{Creamy chicken, mushroom, and zucchini over linguine}

Bon Appetit!  Hope you all had a great Monday!
