I definitely didn’t before this!…
Sweet and salty pair perfectly in this Watermelon Salad Recipe with Feta! It’s a delicious refreshing side dish for a hot summer day. Growing up, our summertime meals consisted mostly of fresh veggies. Sweet grilled corn on the cob. Sliced red tomatoes with my mom’s sweet creamy white dressing. Summer squash sautéed with garlic, olive oil, and salt. Steamed green beans with butter. Bowls of leafy greens....
There’s something for everyone with these 10+ Perfect Salad Recipes for Labor Day! One of the best things about getting together with family and/or friends for a holiday celebration (in addition to the fact that you get to spend time with your loved ones!) is the fact that these gatherings lend themselves very well to potluck-style parties where everyone brings a dish to pass....
This Vegan Baked Beans Recipe is a meat-free version of Boston Baked Beans. It has all the flavor and comes together in a fraction of the time that the original recipe takes; it’s the perfect side dish! I confess, I’ve never been one to be all that sad when Labor Day rolls around. Yes, I like summer (as much as any Buffalo-born-and-raised-girl can). But in all honesty, I love autumn way too much to be disappointed about summer’s end. And don’t even get me started about the first snowfall; I look forward to it every year the way a kid looks forward to summer vacation […]...
If you’re looking for a new twist on a classic favorite side dish, Creamy Dijon Potato Salad with Herbes de Provence is the answer! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that when Mike and I were in Paris there was no holds barred on things like bread and cheese (come on, it’s Paris). We tried to make up for it by walking seven to ten miles a day (and that wasn’t even our sole means of transportation; we typically took the Metro three or four times a day too! What can I say? Paris is big and there’s a lot to do). And […]...
Fun and festive Patriotic Cheesecake Parfaits made with fresh strawberries, blueberry sauce, and goat cheese-based cheesecake are perfect for the 4th of July or any summer party. One of my favorite 4th of Julys was when I was about 20. I went to a carnival with a group of girls and we packed a cooler with food and drinks to take with us to watch the fireworks at a local town park. It seemed like the epitome of summer fun....
Summer is the season of pasta salads. They feed a crowd and are quick and easy to throw together, which makes them perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbeques. Plus they’re a great way to sneak more veggies into kids (or adults) who claim to not even like fresh corn (ahem, Mike). Succotash is a Southern dish that usually has lima beans, corn, and bell pepper, and it was the inspiration for my pasta salad....
