In the summer, I can’t get enough salad recipes. Not that one really needs a formal recipe to throw a salad together. Which is kind of the beauty of a salad – combining all the ingredients one has on hand, placing them atop a bed of lettuce, and calling it a meal! Well, I’m much … Continue reading
August is winding down. Tears. That means we all really need to get some grilling in! Here are two terrific recipes I recently tried. Now, first, you need to acquire some skewers. This is really important. A couple hours before dinner, I soaked a handful of bamboo skewers in water, in preparation for the big … Continue reading

Here I have just a couple tips for making your next Cobb salad a little better, and some … Continue reading

I’ve purchased eight containers of blackberries in the last ten days because they’ve been on sale for $0.50 each! Today I froze three … Continue reading
I totally love this new sweet potato recipe I tried today: Sweet Potatoes with Warm Black Bean Salad, from Eating Well. It’s extremely simple, hearty, flavorful, and nutrish! Baked sweet potatoes sound tasty, amirite? But who wants to wait an hour for them to bake on 90 degree day? Not me. Today I discovered the … Continue reading
This is a “catch-up” post for some eats over the last few days. Delicious salad with romaine, cukes, red pepper, red onion, broccoli, feta: Falafel fail. I LOVE falafel. I did NOT love this recipe.
