Summer salads are best served chilled with a cold beer am I right? Or wine if you’re too fancy for B minus. Or champagne if you’re Heather Dubrow. <— yep, I’m getting my Real Housewives fix on bravotv.com For the record, I’m not hating on Mrs. Dubrow. I happen to love the bubbly myself. And even though she’s nicknamed “fancy pants”, I bet you she’d like this salad. But I digress. You’re here for food not my take on D-list celebs. I don’t know what the heck to call this dish since every… Read more >

I know everyone loves summer produce, so why bother write a love letter to strawberries? We all love berries and melon and corn right? Right. Another present from my neighbor. I’m going to make ginger lemonade with the juicer. My own garden is doing pretty well too! Left to right: lime tree, spinach, tomato, parsley & basil. And then there’s the other greens… Kale and chard (in mega need of thinning out). I had my first salad with them last week. This delightful lunch time salad had home-grown kale and chard topped… Read more >

Bon Appétit is probably my favorite magazine. I say that without a subscription though. I love their website. I steal my sister’s magazines. It counts. Clean Eating and Vegetarian Times could be in the running for the top spot too. I really just like reading about pretty food. The June copy of BA has SO many things I’ve bookmarked to make it’s ridiculous. Summer food is fun. Sometimes I wish I could split myself in half so I could have enough time to do both the career thing and the other stuff. Like making… Read more >

Cool or warm, this is an easy tasty dish. Easy being the key thing if you’d rather be soaking up the summer rays than doing things in the kitchen. Who wouldn’t? I’ve said this lots before – I’m not a tempeh lover. I like it fine, and when restaurants prepare it (correctly) it’s awesome. But yeah. It’s not my number one. That might all change though. Because I just tried Westsoy’s tempeh and (dare I say it) I could eat this stuff straight up! No cooking necessary! And before you say it, yes, I… Read more >

Another fun one. Saturdays and Sundays are my faves because I get to spend them with both my boys. Friday evening Kyle BBQ-ed some shrimp and corn and I made a salad. I marinated 2 pounds of shrimp in Garlic Gold red wine vinaigrette. It contains garlic infused olive oil and red wine and Italian seasonings. No garlic, so it’s totally FODMAPs friendly. And the shrimp were freakin’ delish. We got way too much. Clearly. But that means easy lunch leftovers. Before is above, after is below. Yeah, I bought cooked shrimp again. I’m a… Read more >
