Here’s the thing, we’re kind of snobby when it comes to salsa. It will pretty much guarantee a return visit to a restaurant if they have good salsa. If not, sadly, they’ll never see us again. So making salsa at home is quite the daunting task. The husband likes it hot and I like it…
Broccolini with Garlic
Broccolini is a beautiful cross between regular old broccoli and Chinese kale. It was developed in California by the Sakata Seed Company of Yokohama, Japan. It provides small broccoli flowerettes with long, slender stalks and deep green leaves. Broccolini has a sweeter flavor and has a more tender texture than ordinary broccoli. So, if you’re lucky like me, your…
4th of July Fruit Skewers
“Where liberty dwells, there is my country.” — Benjamin Franklin 4th of July is upon us this weekend! Can someone please tell me where half the year has gone? Let’s make sure this weekend, we take a deep breath and pause for a moment and enjoy the celebration with family and friends. And while you’re…
Bountiful Baskets
Last week, I gave you guys a little tease on this thing called Bountiful Baskets. So what is it you ask? It’s an amazing food co-op that distributes produce baskets, organic produce baskets, lots of fun seasonal goodies as well as flavorful breads each week. It’s a grassroots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-op. And since there…
How to Cut a Pineapple
Even though pineapple is available all year-long, the sweet and tart fruit is in its prime from March-July (right now to be exact 😉 ). Carving this seemingly bulletproof fruit can be quite intimating at first, but once you get it down, you’ll never go back to the canned stuff again. Not to mention, saving your retirement fund…
Cilantro Lime Chicken
Summer is here! That means my dinner staples get tossed on the grill, a lot. I just love grilling food in the summer! I got a large batch of cilantro in my Bountiful Basket a couple of weeks ago (more on that in a future post), and wanted to try something other than salsa to…
Grilled Vegetable and Goat Cheese Sandwiches
Summer is here! In a couple of days it will be official. There is nothing in the world the husband hates more than turning on the oven and heating up the house during the hot summer months, so grilling is a large part of our summer cooking. Even if it’s too hot outside to…
VitaFrute Cocktails by VEEV
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of VitaFrute Cocktails by VEEV. All opinions are 100% my own. Have you guys heard of Veev? It’s an Açaí Spirit (yes, the super fruit that’s been buzzed about for years) that uses all Certified Organic ingredients. A healthy cocktail you say? I’m not sure if it’s “healthy”,…
Green Beans with Lemon Vinaigrette and Almonds
First, let me give you a little garden update. Take a look at the picture above. SUCCESS! I grew green beans! I was so excited when I was out in my garden this week and saw they were ready for picking. There’s just nothing more satisfying than growing your own food and feeding your family. With the…
