I get a little skeptical when recipes claim to be “The Best Ever”. The Pioneer Woman has staked her claim with this one, and with 80 5 star reviews on Food Network’s website, it’s hard to argue. I’ve been making green beans more frequently with them growing rapidly in my garden and this was our favorite…
Cucumber Salad
Summer is the season for salad. This is one of my favorites! Lettuce doesn’t always need to be the center of attention. This Cucumber Salad is cool, refreshing and full of flavor. Fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, salty feta and a tangy Italian dressing make a wonderful salad. It’s the perfect start to any meal and takes no time at all to put together. Cucumbers are in…
Fresh Tomato Salsa
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…
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…
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…
Almond Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Let’s face it, chicken breasts can be one of the most boring foods of all time. They’re bland, many times dry and just plain unimpressive. On the other hand, they’re lean, full of protein, low in fat and are darn versatile. That being said, chicken is definitely a staple in our house, but to avoid a weekly…

I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
