This Bacon and Corn Hash is super delicious. Bacon adds a ton of flavor, but sweet summer corn shines through in this dish too! This is a great way to use up some extra vegetables too. I added chopped portobello mushrooms, which the husband doesn’t like, but he didn’t even seem to notice. I’llRead more
I have definitely been in a cooking low spot. My new home doesn’t have air conditioning in the kitchen, and it is totally enervating to even be in the kitchen. So this summer has been an experiment in how to make quick and satisfying meals without having to spend a lot of time in theRead more
I’ve been working on collecting recipes that can easily be made with just a couple of pantry items and whatever is in the fridge. This recipe is a good stand-by. It also works great for lunches because it doesn’t have to be served hot and it’s full of protein to keep you full all afternoon.Read more
Yesterday we had a fellowship lunch at church and I made vegetarian chili. This chili is such a crowd pleaser. It’s hearty, stick-to-your-ribs, comfort food that’s healthy too! So to change things up a bit, I decided to make this pumpkin cornbread to go with my traditional chili. I also served up my grandma’s deliciousRead more
This salmon is fantastic. The spice rub is flavorful, but not overwhelming, and it’s paired with this amazing avocado salsa that’s super fresh and creamy. Fish is always a great weeknight option because it cooks up so quickly. So while this is easy enough for dinner on a weeknight, it’s also fancy enough to impressRead more

These are simple, delicious corny-corn muffins. It’s a great addition to the chili and the scallions add a nice subtle onion flavor and some fresh green. Cornbread ScallionRead more
I made this salad last year, and apparently forgot to blog about it. It’s a great summer salad, super refreshing and full of surprising flavors. I made it for our Fourth of July party and forgot to mention what it was. Sister thought it was olives and corn, and was quite surprised when it wasRead more
I love me some beans. They’re a great source of fiber and protein. They’re delicious hot, cold or room temperature, they place nice with tons of different flavors, and they’re easy. Despite my bean love, I’ve never quite liked three bean salad. There’s a weird sweetness to it that tastes kind of stale to me.Read more

Fresh from the farm produce is amazing. On yet another fruit picking outing, Mom and I picked Honey Crisp apples, blackberries, and peaches. We also picked up a whole bunch of vegetables while were on the farm. This salad is a great way of showcasing your farm (or farmer’s market) fresh produce. The dressing isRead more
