Simple Sautéed Beet Greens

Simple Sautéed Beet Greens

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…

Zesty Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Zesty Grilled Pineapple Salsa

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.…

Corn and Summer Squash Fritters

Corn and Summer Squash Fritters

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…

Spring Peas with Feta and Mint

I’m not going to lie. Right after taking this picture, I ate the entire bowl. Yes I did. All of it. And it was delicious. We are all excited that peas are back at the farmers market. Well, at least Paxton and I are. By…

Cornmeal, Cheddar, and Chive Waffles

Waffles don’t always have to be sweet and for breakfast – they can be savory and for dinner too! My awesome sister got us a new waffle iron. And the best part is, it can make 2 at a time! With my tired, old, small…

Balsamic and Garlic Roasted Broccoli

Balsamic and Garlic Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli gets crispy, tender, and even more delicious when roasted. The balsamic vinegar adds a sweet, acidic note and the soy sauce adds another depth of flavor. The zest adds some bright pop and garlic, well, garlic just makes everything better. Serve as a side…

Grilled Kale

Grilled Kale

Kale on the grill? Over an actual fire? Why not? The kale cooks quickly on a grill and inherits a smoky flavor from the fire. It is delicious with tender bits and crispy bits all within a single leaf. Eat as is (I may or…

Summer Fruit Kale Salad

Summer Fruit Kale Salad

Now that the first post is out of the way, I can actually get started with some recipes! When my husband and I were in the early dating phase, I remember holding up a bunch of kale asking if he likes it. Neither of us…
