delicious seasonal eats
This series is brought to you in partnership with Lightlife, Live long. Travel light. To learn more, click here. We were invited to host an eco-friendly party in conjunction with the new Lightlife frozen veggie patties. Fall arrived last Saturday. This is my favorite time of year in Utah. The mornings and evenings are cool […]
Fall is here! My very favorite time of year. I’m teaming up with my amazing friend Becky again. This time we’re cooking with apples. Perfect for fall. Be sure to check out her Apple, Bacon, Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich. (YUM.) And for mine…Brandied Apple Pie. My mom has always been a really good cook. She could make anything, it seemed. […]
You’ve probably seen the movie, but have you ever made ratatouille? The first time I made it, I had just started my 10 day juice fast and it was very difficult not to eat some. My girls even loved the little cubes of eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers with the fresh tomatoes and loads […]
Every once in awhile you meet a salad and you think, “This is my very favorite.” Then you come across another salad and the same thing happens. Well, friends, this salad is the salad that ended that for me. This is my very, very favorite salad. I’m ready to say my vows and pledge my […]
Caputo’s Market provided the Gruyere for use in this recipe. I always go there when I’m looking for high-quality cheeses to use in my cooking. This was my first attempt at creating deceptively delicious food for my kids. And you know what? It totally worked. They didn’t even suspect that the zucchini they claim […]
I like making ice cream. It’s sort of my thing. Sometimes I dream up flavors in the wee hours of the morning, or as I’m trying to fall asleep at night. (Sometimes it’s the same thing.) I like eating ice cream too, so it’s a win-win situation for me. This flavor came from a bar […]
If you’re been reading for awhile, then you know that I love Thai food. We eat Thai several times a week because most of the family loves it (except my son who only eats the rice), it’s a good way to eat up our veggies, it’s delicious, and the most important reason of all–it’s fast. […]
This salad is the love child of tabbouleh and caprese salad. All of the greatness comes together for a rockin’ salad that is as healthy as it is delicious and will have you going back for seconds and thirds. My friend Amy was in town and in my evil plans to monopolize her whole day, […]
Here’s a quick veggie stir-fry recipe that came together in around 30 minutes, including my chopping time. It almost doesn’t need a recipe – just stir-fry whatever veggies you have from your garden (or CSA) and use my favorite Orange Miso Vinaigrette as the sauce, serve over hot rice and dinner is served. Garden Veggie Stir-Fry with […]
It used to be that I couldn’t walk away from a grocery store without a few jars of pickles. Our family goes crazy over anything pickled. We’ve attempted other sorts of pickled vegetables (and fruit), but never cucumbers. I don’t know why. I guess I never saw a reason to when our fridge was always […]
