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…

Summer Squash and Herb Salad with Pistachios

Summer Squash and Herb Salad with Pistachios

Summer squash is back at the farmers market! And we’ve been going through several pounds a week lately. Mainly, we are swapping back and forth between this salad and fritters (fritters are next on the list to post). This salad is light and refreshing, with…

Halloumi and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Halloumi and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

I had some leftover peppers after making the roasted red pepper sauce and I had the intention of making stuffed peppers with them. I wasn’t sure what kind to make, and I didn’t want to go to the store, so I just went through the…

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…

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…
