This month, the recipe redux asked us for our favorite healthy recipe celebrating stone fruits! Peaches are actually my second favorite stone fruit, behind cherries, and I love them in these barbecue black bean tacos with peach salsa!
Peaches pair perfectly with other fresh salsa ingredients, like acidic tomatoes, and bright cilantro. Their sweetness really helps to balance the salsa, which is the star of this dish! Continue reading

This spring I fell in love with this kale and potato fritatta, but it was a little too much to eat all by myself. Summertime zucchini and tomato fill the fritatta up, but keep it light. Continue reading

Every summer I go on a fishing trip and come home with a whole bunch of trout! Smoked trout is my favorite way to enjoy it, and I always have leftovers. I used those leftovers to make today’s recipe, smoked trout and beluga lentil bowls.
