Posted on June 9, 2017 | 16 comments

A simple salad is always a go-to meal at my house. Quality ingredients is always the key because quality can turn simple into outstanding! I make a lot of lunch salads that never make it onto the blog because I don’t take time to take pictures before work in the mornings. I made this cilantro lime southwest black bean salad for a grill out this past weekend, and it was a hit! Continue reading →

Lentil Salad with Asparagus and Radish

Posted on April 27, 2017 | 8 comments

I really love asparagus. I think it is the seasonality of it, the fact that it grows for a short time and then it’s gone for the season. Growing up, I ate farm fresh picked asparagus and now I refuse to buy it from the store; it just doesn’t taste the same. I love asparagus so much that I created an Asparagus Mini-Series last year that I am challenging myself to continue! Today I am sharing Lentil salad with Asparagus and Radish for the first Asparagus Mini-Series of 2017! Continue reading →

Simple Mediterranean Kale Salad with Golden Balsamic Vinaigrette

Posted on April 14, 2017 | 4 comments

If you have followed the blog for very long, you might know by now that I eat soups during the winter, and salads during the summer. I don’t post as many of my salad recipes because I tend to make them quickly when I don’t have time for anything else, including a photo session. This spring and summer, I am hoping to change that, bringing you lots more fresh salads! Today I am sharing my simple Mediterranean kale salad. Continue reading →

Red Cabbage Feta and Candied Almond Slaw

Posted on February 24, 2017 | 6 comments

Yes, that is right. We are making slaw with cheese and nuts today. This red cabbage feta and candied almond slaw is almost more like a salad. It has a sharp and savory vinaigrette like a salad, but the red cabbage really eats more like a slaw. Whether you think it should be called a slaw or a salad is up to you. Once you try this recipe, you will be hooked! Continue reading →

Beer Battered String Bean Fries

Posted on July 29, 2016 | Leave a comment

Last week I was poking around on my pinterest account finding and sharing ideas for recipes. I came across a recipe for crunchy green bean fries that were coated in panko bread crumbs. In the past, I have tried something similar with asparagus, and it’s not so easy. Panko does not stick well to skinny vegetables, but it sticks very well to your fingers! When I picked up my CSA this week and saw that I had string beans to use, I just knew I had to try and make a fantastic fries recipe! The seasoning is just right on these beer battered string bean fries! Continue reading →

Smoked Jalapenos in Carolina Mop Sauce

Posted on July 25, 2016 | 2 comments

If you have been a reader for very long, you have probably picked up on the fact that I love to eat smoked foods. Which is sort-of different for someone that doesn’t eat meat (besides fish anyway). I put this smoked tofu recipe into lots of dishes. I love smoked trout, and use it in everything from salads, dip, sushi, and savory pancakes. Well, here is another food I like to put on the smoker. Smoked Jalapenos in Carolina Mop Sauce will blow your socks off! Continue reading →

Garlic Lemon Roasted Broccoli

Posted on April 9, 2016 | 3 comments

In my quest to eat healthy foods, I have realized how important a healthy and delicious vegetable side dish can be. Side salads were once a favorite of mine, with a quick homemade vinaigrette. However, most lettuces don’t have the nutrition and fiber content that we look for in vegetables. Chopped salads with lots of veggies are time consuming for a simple side. This garlic lemon roasted broccoli dish is simple, delicious, and healthy! Continue reading →

Quick Frijoles Negros_2

I am an obsessive meal planner. For most people, meal planning is a chore, something you don’t like to do. For me, it’s the opposite. Dreaming up recipes to use up ingredients, and finding recipes that overlap in ingredients is like a scavenger hunt. I look forward to my weekly meal planning time. Continue reading →
