Cooking with seasonal products and the contents of your pantry
Beets are delicious – I don’t care what anyone else says! Do you know what else is delicious? Those stems and greens coming out of the top of those beets (yes, they are completely edible)! I mean, look at them! Beet greens are pretty mild…
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.…
I’ve probably made double and triple batches of these about 5 times in the last 3 weeks. And they never last for longer than the following day. If you keep going overboard and buying too much summer squash (guilty!) or your home garden is going…
