Grilled Corn and Vegetable Salad with Basil-Lime Vinaigrette

Grilled Corn and Vegetable Salad with Basil-Lime Vinaigrette

Summer = fresh produce, grill, and simple yet bold flavors. The salad combines all of those things together in one delicious, satisfying salad. I used fresh, sweet corn on the cob as the base for the salad and paired it with summer squash, grape tomatoes,…

Spring Peas with Feta and Mint

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…

Summer Fruit Crumble

Summer Fruit Crumble

Versions of this cobbler are made often throughout the summer – when we buy so much fruit that we can’t possibly eat it all before it begins to spoil. This can be made with any combination of summer fruits you’d like. I like using a…
