This fried caper version of panzanella is pretty much all the things I love. It is best made with fresh summer garden tomatoes, which I did not have, so I used the best store tomatoes I could find. If you have a garden, or know someone who grows them, do yourself a favor and useContinue reading “Fried Caper Panzanella”

Charred Corn Salad
Growing up in the Midwest, sweet corn is pretty much a summer time staple. I absolutely love fresh corn on the cob with butter and salt. I also love any salad made with fresh corn. This is simple but flavorful summer time salad that goes great with anything grilled, as a side dish at aContinue reading “Charred Corn Salad”
Celery, Apple and Blue Cheese Coleslaw
As I have mentioned before, I love pretty much anything with blue cheese. When I saw this recipe for coleslaw with celery, apple and blue cheese, I really wanted to try it out. This combination sounded great. I also liked that fact that this recipe didn’t use mayo, since sometimes coleslaw can be so mayoContinue reading “Celery, Apple and Blue Cheese Coleslaw”
Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree
I saw a picture of a recipe similar to this one, and thought it looked delicious. I happened to have some ricotta leftover in my fridge from chicken rollatini that I needed to use up, so this was the perfect thing to use it for. Halibut was great for this recipe, but you could alsoContinue reading “Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree”
Roasted Broccoli Salad
This recipe is adapted from Pinch of Yum, which I love. Roasted broccoli salad is a different way to get some broccoli in your diet and the salami/bacon, garlic, shallot, lemon and parmesan make it way more delicious than the boring steamed broccoli I often make my family eat. 🙂 I made a few changesContinue reading “Roasted Broccoli Salad”

It only has a few ingredients, but roasting the vegetables at high heat caramelizes them and gives the soup a deep, rich vegetable flavor that is absolutely delicious. To make the soup you just need 6Continue reading “Roasted Vegetable Soup”
Arugula and Charred Tomato Salad
This salad was inspired by one from Kathleen Ashmore, and I absolutely loved it. The combo of arugula, feta, charred tomatoes and creamy balsamic was so well balanced and delicious! There are a couple of ways you can char the cherry tomatoes for this. I did mine under the broiler. Just turn the broiler toContinue reading “Arugula and Charred Tomato Salad”
Winter Vegetable Salad with Balsamic Mustard Dressing
I love this bright and healthy winter vegetable salad. Roasting all the root veggies in olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper caramelizes them and gives so much flavor. This salad combines roasted beets, butternut squash, fennel, and carrots with fresh kale and shallots in a delicious balsamic mustard dressing. It is a great way toContinue reading “Winter Vegetable Salad with Balsamic Mustard Dressing”
Chopped Salad with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
This recipe is from Kathleen Ashmore. I love her salad recipes! They have so many great ingredients and interesting dressings. We had this chopped salad with our spinach and artichoke galette last week, but it kept well in my fridge for a few days after and I ate it for lunch every day. The baseContinue reading “Chopped Salad with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing”
Dirty Rice + Cajun Corn Maque Choux
Does anyone else like Zatarains Dirty Rice mix? My husband and I ate it all the time in college when on a budget, and we haven’t had it in years. I decided to make some because it is delicious. If you haven’t had dirty rice before it is simply ground beef, rice and seasonings allContinue reading “Dirty Rice + Cajun Corn Maque Choux”
