delicious seasonal eats
The other day I was walking through Trader Joe’s and as I passed by the produce section, I could smell summer. You know that smell? The ripe berries and peaches? Herbs and veggies? I have missed that scent of summer so much. It had me craving a fresh salad with lime dressing – what else? […]
My dear friend Becky (Project Domestication) and I team up every month and share a recipe based on a theme we’ve chosen. This month Becky chose Mother’s Day. (Be sure to check out her Homemade Tartar Sauce recipe.) I thought about sharing some of my mom’s favorite recipes (you can find her Dutch Apple Pie recipe here), but […]
It’s been a little while since I posted a quinoa salad recipe. But that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped making and enjoying them!

Man, I love homemade granola. Sometimes I forget how much. These days I usually start my day with a green smoothie or juice rather than a bowl of cereal. But honestly, by mid-morning I’m in need of a snack and this tropical granola kind of hits the spot in a way nothing else can. I’ve […]
As I’ve spent the last few months cooking with Barramundi, I’ve seen just how versatile it really is. I love that it is sustainably farmed using revolutionary aquaculture practices. I’ve used Barramundi in several different ways, using flavors of different cuisines from around the globe. All of them have been delicious. A few weeks ago […]
A flavorful, veggie-filled vegetarian shepherd’s pie topped with garlic herb mashed potatoes. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. Have I already told you how much I love the month of March? I know there are some who aren’t big fans. The weather is a little bipolar – windy and cold one day, warm and sunny the next. […]
