delicious seasonal eats
If you have plans for a Mother’s Day get together this weekend, I have a recipe for you. A GREAT recipe. It’s so good that everyone will fall all over you asking for the recipe–just like my extended family did when I made it for them last year. Fresh Strawberry-Herb Dressing. It is an easy […]
Before we talk about how glorious the flavors are in this Cashew Dulce de Leche French Macaron recipe, we need to talk about macarons. Why are they so difficult to make properly? Egg whites, ground nuts, sugar. Doesn’t seem like it should be so complicated, right? But they are. Read on, friends. I’ve made macarons quite a […]
Yes, it’s another quinoa salad. And you better believe I put avocado in it too. Can’t get enough avocados ever. Someday I will have an avocado tree in my yard. Oh, yes, that is going to happen. Avocados are in season right now and because we love them so much, we buy them four at […]
Yesterday for lunch, with the help of my daughter, I made this gorgeous Arugula Salad with Blackberries and Chevre with Blackberry-Thyme Vinaigrette. I get pretty excited about salad. If you follow me on Instagram or Pinterest, you’ve probably noticed. :) As I’m typing this, I’m watching the branches from the large tree in my front […]
Blackberry Coconut Sorbet. Three ingredients. No dairy. Little sugar. Pure bliss. And? (Come closer…) No ice cream maker needed. I know. It’s pretty awesome.

Saturday night, after a full day of hard work and chores, I made the first batch of homemade ice cream for the season. Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream. It’s as dreamy as it sounds. I’ve teamed up with Becky this month again and our theme was Flowers. She chose orange blossom water. Be sure to check […]
Text and images by Lindsey Rose Johnson As Spring is here and Summer is quickly approaching, it’s a great time to think about all the delicious fruits and vegetables that will be growing in our gardens, hitting the roadside stands and appearing in our CSAs. Whether or not you buy organic produce, it’s helpful […]
As if there weren’t enough cookies in my cupboard, I made another batch of cookies that I’m so excited to share with you. You know, just to shake it up with all the healthy salads and stuff. Mango White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. Hello, tasty cookies! I’ve been wanting to make these cookies for a […]
On Tuesday morning I was feeling particularly stressed out about all of the things I needed to accomplish this week. It’s been such a long week. I’m still behind on some freelance projects I’ve got going on. In the midst of all of this work stuff, I managed to completely forgot it was my son’s […]
Let’s talk about wilted salads. Do you like them or hate them? Does it depend on the leafy green you use? I love wilted salads–just barely cooking the greens with a quick stint in a hot pan or with a warm vinaigrette, or in this case, both. I made my foray into cooking with leafy […]
