It’s hard to believe it’s September, and this week has definitely felt more like summer than the start of fall. But despite that, the apples are out at the farm, and the picking is easy. So besides eating plain apples, or apples with sharp cheddar cheese, or apples with peanut butter, I’m indulging with someRead more
Pesto is one of those quintessential summer foods. The fresh, bright taste of basil just screams summer produce. So I’ve been making pesto like crazy while there’s still an abundance of fresh basil. You can easily freeze pesto too, so make lots and save it for a cold, wintery day when you need a hitRead more
Have you ever seen tomatillos? They’re quite strange looking, little green tomatoes with a papery peel. I’ve always wondered how to cook them, and when I saw some at the farm we go berry picking at, I knew it was time to try them out. Then I’ve been getting them in my CSA box too.Read more
I told you I had a lot of zucchini to use, so here’s the third recipe in a row with those delicious summer zucchini. These cookies are a fantastic treat to make with zucchini.

I’m in love with this casserole. Full of vegetables, whole grains, and protein, this casserole is packed with everything you need for a satisfying and nutritious meal.

We’ve been getting an abundance of zucchini and summer squash from our CSA. It’s been a challenge to keep up with them all! But this recipe is definitely going to be one of my new favorite ways to use it. I love zucchini bread, and this baked oatmeal takes all the great flavors from zucchiniRead more
There’s nothing like fresh summer peaches. I, for one, can’t get enough of the juicy, sweet fruit. So when I saw this recipe in Cooking Light magazine, I knew it was something I had to try. I’m so glad I did. This chicken is such a great summer recipe, it really stands out from theRead more
I’ve been living it up at the beach, and my favorite cocktail this week has been Pimm’s Cup. Pimm’s is a British liqueur based on gin, but with a spiced citrus flavor. It’s a very unique taste and totally delicious and refreshing in this cocktail. While I’ve kept things pretty simple, you can also upgradeRead more
I’m a big. fan. of. pancakes., but sometimes you want something a little lighter for breakfast. This Finnish oven pancake is perfect for that. It kind of tastes like a cross between a crepe and a Dutch Baby. It’s kind of eggy and very tender. It puffs up just like a Dutch Baby, but doesn’tRead more
