Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This 4-ingredient Summer Squash Saute Recipe is an easy summer side dish that’s packed with flavor and perfect for showcasing fresh seasonal produce.
I’m a sucker for a summertime roadside vegetable stand with fresh-picked goodies from a local farm, like peaches, tomatoes, or zucchini. Produce this time of year is top-notch in terms of flavor and nutrition.
And the season is here and gone so quickly I always like to get my fill!…
This Easy Peach Crisp Recipe with Maple Oats combines juicy peaches with a nutty oat topping and a hint of spice. It’s easy to whip up and perfect for summer brunch or dessert! There are few things that say late summer better than a perfectly ripe peach with its intensely juicy sweetness. If summer flavor could be bottled, it would be liquid gold peach juice that’s the color of sunshine....
This Vegan Grain Bowl Recipe with Blackberries and Fresh Mint is the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, and it’s 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....
Caponata is a delicious balanced sweet and sour Sicilian Eggplant Relish recipe that’s perfect food for any summer gathering. There are so many gatherings that happen in the summer. For starters, Independence Day is right around the corner! And the next two months will be full of block parties, pool parties, BBQs, picnics, and camping trips before Labor Day rolls around. There’s almost always something going on; a cause to celebrate or a reason to get together. Which means most of us are always in need of fresh new summer recipe ideas!...
This decadent-tasting Healthy Cherry Garcia Recipe puts summer cherries to perfect use when you want a nourishing sweet treat. The best part is, no ice cream maker required! I’ve always been a chocolate girl when it comes to dessert. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that my usual motto is that if a sweet treat doesn’t have chocolate, it just isn’t worth it. But I have branched out a little, realizing the deliciousness in things like a creamy coconut custard, butter toffee shortbread cookies, and classic flavor combinations like peanut butter and jelly made into crumble bars....
These Red White and Blue Popsicles are made with strawberries, blueberries, and coconut milk for the healthy version of Firecracker Popsicles or Bomb Pops! They’re patriotic, festive, and fun for Independence Day, Memorial Day, or all summer long. Mid-June when strawberries are in peak season here, I found the most perfect looking local strawberries. I bought a quart that day and went back the next day for a flat!...
With a base of mostly yogurt, this Creamy Cucumber Salad Recipe is lower in calories and fat, but still has all the flavor! A sprinkle of goat cheese (or feta) and fresh herbs really take the taste up a notch. I have had more than my fair share of cucumber salads in my day!...
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....
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....
Peach Burrata Salad with Bacon, Butter Lettuce, Basil, and Pistachio comes in a clutch during the summer months when you have more fresh peaches than you can devour! This salad is a lovely balance of sweet and savory flavors, and creamy and crunchy textures. I’ve been a little peach-crazed lately, buying them by the bagful and then trying to eat my way through them! When they’re in season, a perfectly ripe, sweet, juicy peach is bliss. My favorite way to eat them is just as they are. However, when I buy more than I can eat out-of-hand, I have to get a little creative. That’s […]...
