Cooking with seasonal products and the contents of your pantry
I’m sneaking in one more summer favorite as fall is (supposedly) rolling in – grilled pineapple salsa. Everything that is cooked is done so on the grill. And it can be changed up depending on what you have in your refrigerator or to your tastes.…
It seems like most of the recipes that I post that utilize red peppers are sauces or dips, such as roasted red pepper sauce (which is basically the vegan version of this one) and muhammara. There is just something about the natural sweetness of roasted…
Who needs another pesto recipe? Other than myself! I love pesto on about everything and have several different variations that I make. One reason why I make it all the time is that it is so easy to make – put everything in the food…

Dressings can totally make or break a salad. This one is creamy and garlicky and can make not only salad taste better, but any veggie, chip, or even pizza crust dipped into it. And it’s on regular rotation here (probably about a third of the…
Carrots are delicious, nutritious, and can be used in many ways – and so are their bright green tops. Don’t throw those away! Carrot tops, like the tops of many other root veggies, can be used in similar ways that you use other leafy greens…
