Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Chicken Caprese Recipe with Lemon and Thyme transforms a classic Caprese salad into a flavorful meal! It strikes the right balance between being satisfying but not overly heavy.
One of the best things about summer is the food.
Whether your favorite is corn, watermelon, peaches, green beans, or tomatoes, there seems to be some new local produce popping up at the farmers market every week. I, for one, am hard-pressed to choose a favorite.…
This Lentil Salad Recipe with Herbed Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette is a delicious and impressive-looking but easy-to-make salad that packs a ton of nutrition! Do you have a birthday buddy? I do; actually, I have a few. (Give me a shout out if your birthday is also September 30th!) But I was an adult when I first met I someone with the same birthday as mine. (Which is pretty sad, right? That would have been so much fun as a kid!)...
This Apple Walnut Rainbow Swiss Chard Salad Recipe features sweet crisp apples, crunchy toasted walnuts, and colorful rainbow Swiss chard dressed with a honey apple vinaigrette. I swear, if you hop backwards 11 times facing the sunset every Sunday, you won’t be sick all week!, a friend told me. Hmm…I guess I can see how that would work, I replied with a smile on my face. (Not so much, really, but who am I to judge?)...
Low Carb Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Basil, and Ginger Miso Dressing is a balanced combination of complex flavors and different textures. If we’re going to be friends, there are two things you should know about me. Firstly, there are some foods I can always be in the mood for. Indian is at the top of the list, and so is Thai. Secondly, I like to play with my food. And by play with my food, I mean experiment with flavor combinations and fusions of different cuisines (because it’s fun!). In this Low Carb Spiralized Cucumber Salad with Peanuts, Basil, and Ginger Miso Dressing, I […]...
Vegan Herbed Black Rice, Black Lentils, and Black Quinoa Pilaf Salad Bowls with Blackberries is a nutritious summer meal. One of my favorite summer memories growing up is of my sister and I picking wild berries at my grandparents’ house and eating them as fast as we could pick. Mom would always send us out with a few pint-sized containers, stained various shades of purple and red inside with remnants of previous summer’s berries, but we were hard-pressed to fill them up. It doesn’t get any better than eating freshly picked fruit that’s still warm from the sun....
Warm Roasted Sweet Potato and Broccoli Rabe Salad with Cinnamon-Maple Vinaigrette is hearty and satisfying to fill you up on a chilly day. I love hitting up the produce area of my grocery store to check out new-to-me fruits and veggies, as well as seasonal produce (I wait for things like figs, pomegranate, and delicata squash for months). Sometimes I’ll even go a little crazy and shop without a list, grabbing whatever fresh produce looks good that day and making anything that comes to mind with my loot when I get it home....
Keep kale salad fresh and exciting with this Creamy Poppy Seed Kale Slaw with Red Pear, Toasted Pepitas, and Golden Raisins! Say hello to your new favorite fall salad. With pear, kale, and toasted pumpkin seeds, not to mention the gorgeous golden shade of sultanas that mimic the color of changing leaves, I’m hard-pressed to find a salad that says fall more than this one. Unless of course if you go and add something like butternut or pumpkin or maybe apple to it (because they really are the epitome of fall, aren’t they?)....
Paleo Mango Turkey Sloppy Joe Salad Bowls are full of flavor and a fun twist on a classic Sloppy Joe! Plus eating Sloppy Joes as a salad makes them a little less sloppy. There is a Costco located right across from where Mike works and he’s discovered the joy that is shopping there. (No joke.)...
Creamy Rosemary and Red Grape Chicken Salad is a flavorful way to dress up ordinary chicken salad. You’d be surprised at how fast my hubby blows through an entire batch of homemade mayo. He’s always finding creative (haha!) new ways to use it. Chicken wings, roasted potatoes, and even fried eggs are all fair game. Just about the only way he doesn’t eat mayo is on a sandwich....
This Layered Corn, Avocado, and Tomato Salad with Herbed Sour Cream features the best of summer produce and is sure to be a hit at your summer picnic or potluck. At the beginning of summer, one of Mike’s favorite coworkers moved to Hawaii. (It was a sad day when we said goodbye to her, not only because she was funny and sweet and smart, but also because she makes the best brownies I’ve ever put into my mouth. She’s like some kind of evil brownie magician because I swear her recipe is irreplicable despite my 25 pathetic attempts.)...
