Pistachio Cilantro Pesto Recipe

August 6, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

This Pistachio Cilantro Pesto Recipe is fresh and bright-flavored and a little nutty, and a delicious change from a traditional pesto.

Oh, pesto. It’s one of those things that I truly love, but forget about until it’s all I can think about. (The cravings are real once basil is in season.) If I played it right, I’d spend the final days of summer every year putting the last of the fresh basil to good use and freezing it so I could enjoy it throughout the rest of the year. And have you ever tried cilantro pesto? It’s bright and fresh with a pungency that differentiates it from classic basil pesto. It’s delicious.…

Sweet Pepper Chickpea Salad with Mint and Honey-Sumac Vinaigrette

September 11, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Sweet Pepper Chickpea Salad with Mint and Honey-Sumac Vinaigrette features the tangy bright citrus-like flavor of sumac tempered with honey. Three kinds of bell peppers add color and crunch, and two kinds of fresh herbs make it something truly special. The thing is, I can happily eat salad like this for lunch any day of the year. It makes no difference to me that summer is (unofficially) over. Setting aside for a minute the fact that it’s always summer in Florida (except for about two weeks in January!), I eat hearty salads like this in the winter as well (or at least I did when […]...

There are some TV shows that I just don’t expect to get into. Gotham was like that for me (Batman really isn’t my thing, but oddly enough I felt compelled to not miss an episode), and Downton Abbey was as well....

Healthy Roasted Garlic and Chive Cottage Cheese Crema

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been one to shy away from bold-flavored foods… Extra, extra onion on every sandwich. (I wish I were kidding. If you’re ever at a sandwich shop and you hear someone order their sandwich with double extra onion, walk up and say hi because it’s probably me.) At least one more clove of garlic than every recipe calls for. Tunafish for breakfast…why not?!...

Oven-Coddled Eggs {With Chard, Parmesan, & Fresh Herbs}

The latest 5 Star Makeover theme was Farmers’ Markets, a theme I really enjoyed because of how wide open for creativity it was. I can’t think of any way I’d rather spend a weekend morning than perusing my farmers’ market, looking for fresh goodies and thinking of how I want to eat them....
