These dill cauliflower fritters with lemon yogurt sauce are the perfect light meal for me. Cauliflower keeps things light and a lemon-spiked Greek yogurt sauce adds a little protein boost to keep you full.
I started making these fritters because I always seemed to have a half head of cauliflower in the fridge that needed to be used. You know, the kind that is starting to get those ugly brown spots that no one wants to eat even though it doesn’t taste different. Continue reading

This recipe for mushroom dill ravioli was born from a mistake. I put mushroom dill ravioli on my menu plan, but didn’t double check the ingredients list before I went grocery shopping.
The original recipe called for mushroom-filled ravioli, which would have been tossed in a garlic dill sauce much like this one. My mistake was to buy cheese ravioli and fresh mushrooms, and it was a delicious mistake indeed. Continue reading

This healthy Greek yogurt ranch is better than bottled ranch for a wide variety of reasons. First of all, it tastes better! The yogurt and fresh lemon juice add tang that you would expect from a traditional buttermilk ranch and the fresh herbs have a distinctly bright flavor that you will never get in a bottle.
Beyond the amazing flavor, this recipe is very easy to make. Simply mix together all the ingredients! I almost always have a tub of Greek yogurt in the fridge, so if you are the same then all you need are the herbs. Continue reading

One of the things I love most about gardening is that it helps me be get creative in the kitchen. The green beans in my garden have been growing well this season, and here I add them to an addicting potato salad, caper dill potato salad.
Bountiful produce tends to push you as a home cook. For me, I love to find new ways to use familiar ingredients; it keeps things interesting at dinner time. Continue reading

When I first stared to eat more plant-based meals, I can across a recipe (now long lost) that marindaded and fried chickpeas. It is such a simple process that completely transforms the humble chickpea. Here I use a gyro inspired marinade to make fried chickpea gyro salad.
I have posted a very similar recipe before, my fried chickpea gyro bowls, made with a base of rice, chopped vegetables, and tzatziki sauce. While I love grain bowls, I was craving a salad this time, so I adapted the recipe. Continue reading

I have not always liked beets. I think the first few times I had beets as an adult, their flavor was misrepresented as being all-together earthy and bitter. Yes, beets can be earthy, and sometimes bitter, but they can also be subtley sweet and almost floral. If you work with those flavors properly, you can make beets taste great. Roasting beets is one way to bring out their sweetness, like in today’s recipe, roasted beet and chickpea salad. Continue reading

My husband and I celebrated our first dating anniversary (many moons ago) at this little Scandinavian café at a vineyard that had a limited menu. We both adore fish and tried the fish au gratin and fell in love with the dish! Today I make salmon and potato au gratin at home for special occasions.
Au gratin is a special occasion dish as it is very rich, loaded with milk and cheese. It is perfect for indulgent meals that you want to celebrate, including the holidays! I have made it with both 2% milk and whole milk, and both work, but the whole milk is just a bit richer. Continue reading

Friends, can you beleive that this is the first time I have tried roasting asparagus?!? Me either. Grilling it is usually my go-to method. One night when it was raining, I decided against grilling so I tried this roasted asparagus with creamy dill sauce.
If you are an asparagus fan like me, you will come back to this recipe time and time again. I have made it three times already this season and cannot get enough! Continue reading

If you are like me, you still have some summer garden produce lingering that needs to be used. Even though it is October, I still have garden cucumbers and tomatoes that are delicious in this tzatziki pasta salad with chickpeas.
Has anyone else had a busy fall? I feel like I am so far behind on all my projects, including blog posts. I had extra time at the end of summer to photograph some delicious recipes, and now they are finally making it onto the blog when the produce is almost out of season. Better late than never I suppose. Continue reading

In the recent months I have been cleaning out the freezer. Therefore, I have been eating a lot of trout, and loving every bite! I adapted this feta and dill crusted trout recipe from another favorite trout recipe, Dijon crusted trout.
Adding a crunchy topping to fish makes it feel like something else entirely. I guess thats why fish sticks were/are so common. If you don’t care for the texture of fish, try it topped with panko and seasonings! Continue reading
