Natalie McLaury considers herself a bit of a hoarder when it comes to magazines. Never one to pass up a good deal on a subscription, it’s to the point where she now finds herself receiving a magazine in the mail several times a week. Most of the time, she rips out pages of recipes but fails to actually create the recipe in her kitchen. Not anymore! Join Natalie as she cooks the magazines.

Several times a year, my husband Ryan has the opportunity to travel to San Diego for work. I was lucky enough to join him one time, but usually I kiss him goodbye and patiently await his return. Five days later, I pick him up from the airport and am welcomed with stories of fresh seafood, great wine, and Pinkberry. It’s no secret that St. Louis lacks some of what San Diego can offer (ahem, Pinkberry!!), so I don’t blame him for his great culinary-inspired enthusiasm.
Last time he was in San Diego, I made the mistake of putting salmon on the menu for the weekend he returned. It wasn’t until after we had picked up our fresh salmon from Bob’s Seafood (a must for anyone in STL!), that I realized I should’ve saved this meal for a day far removed from any West Coast travel and lingering food memories. Oops. Still, I forged on with the menu, preparing this dish along with the Summer Tomato, Basil, and Feta Galette and a grilled zucchini dish soon to be posted. 
Five minutes into filling our plates over a candlelit dining room table with friends, Ryan declared this meal to be better than any meal he’d had in San Diego the previous week. Needless to say, I was thrilled…and after tasting everything myself and watching our friends enjoy the meal, I knew he wasn’t just saying it because he’d missed me. This salmon was incredible. The fish was smooth and buttery, the salsa fresh, and the combination worthy of serving company, or your long-lost husband!

I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any
interesting articles like yours. It’s pretty worth it for me.
In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
