This one skillet meal screams summer with all its fresh ingredients! My favorite part of this mediterranean chickpea zucchini skillet? The wine sauce! It ties the whole dish together.
Ok, so no duh, I love the wine sauce. I do love wine. It’a also an important component because it keeps the skillet moist. Mine completely absorbed (so it wasn’t very saucy) but the flavor it added was SO good! Continue reading

For me, radish is one of those mysterious vegetable that I don’t use often. I feel like I don’t know how to use it, so I avoid it. Well, simply put, fresh radish is easy and great in salads. I created this radish and corn wheat berry salad as a challenge to myself to turn radish from mysterious to delicious!
As a kid, I picked fresh radish from the garden with my grandfather. I ate them only because I was involved in the process of digging them up. A radish from the store? My childhood self would have said No way! Continue reading

I love to grow arugula in my garden, but the homegrown arugula is much stronger in flavor than the baby arugula you get from the store. I started making this arugula wild rice salad to tame those strong garden fresh flavors!
The wild rice helps to subdue the peppery arugula by bulking up the salad with a mild earthy flavor (which pairs quite nicely). I also add cranberries for sweetness, pecans for crunch and protein, and feta for a salty bite. Continue reading

I have recently fallen in love with rye berries! They are a tangy alternative to my favorite grain, wheat berries, and make awesome salads, like this roasted carrot and green bean rye berry salad!
When I was making this recipe, I was just using up some ingredients from the fridge to make a meal. After I started plating the salad, I realized that it would make a perfect vegetarian main dish for holidays! Continue reading

Recently, I came across the idea for loaded feta fries while reading a magazine. However, I didn’t want to heat up the oven for fries during the heat of summer! Instead, I recreated the recipe to make these tomato and cucumber loaded greek nachos!
Nachos are such an easy meal, I have been enjoying them a lot this summer, usually heated to melt some cheese. This nacho recipe is different for many reasons, but especially because it is cold! Continue reading

Spring is the season that gets me most excited about food! All the fresh spring veggies after a long winter are so inviting. This week I found bright green snap peas to make this simple snap pea and fire roasted corn salad!
This salad makes a great side that you can take to backyard cookouts, or even stands as a light meal by itself. I mixed in some chickpeas and made it into an easy lunch! Continue reading

If you have followed the blog for very long, you might know by now that I eat soups during the winter, and salads during the summer. I don’t post as many of my salad recipes because I tend to make them quickly when I don’t have time for anything else, including a photo session. This spring and summer, I am hoping to change that, bringing you lots more fresh salads! Today I am sharing my simple Mediterranean kale salad. Continue reading

Every year when summer rolls around, I can’t wait for the fresh produce to start filling my plate. However when fall gets here, I seem to have a hard time giving up summer. I love fall vegetables, like butternut squash, but I’m just not over summer yet… Even though it’s almost the end of September. This Mediterranean Pasta Plate with Sun Dried Tomato Sauce is fresh and fast! It’s a great way to use the tomatoes and cucumber that I’m still getting in my CSA! Continue reading

About a month a ago, I started my Asparagus Mini Series, where I highlighted recipes using asparagus. Asparagus is my favorite spring-time vegetable that I only get when it is locally available. Asparagus is sooooo much better when it is fresh! This balsamic asparagus barley bowl recipe was developed shortly after I completed the mini series, but was still worthy of sharing before next spring! Continue reading
