    Main Course Recipes

    If you are searching for something to eat tonight, look no further than these main course recipes. Far from being bland, basic or boring, each of these recipes will bring excitement, loads of flavor and plenty of compliments to your table.

    Weeknight dinners are a cinch with easy Salmon Piccata or a hearty Bolognese Sauce that you can toss with your favorite pasta. Caesar Salad may seem basic, but is anything but that when you make your dressing from scratch and toast up your own croutons.

    For a recipe that is anything but boring, try Pupusas. This tasty Central American dish has plenty of oozy cheese filling in pan fried masa cakes.

    Would you prefer to focus on a seafood theme? Try Shrimp Tacos with their amazing flavor combination, crispy shrimp, creamy, spicy sauce and a crunchy cabbage slaw to finish. Crab Cakes are another exciting option that fry up on your stove in a no time and are delicious alongside remoulade sauce for dipping.
