When the weather warms up, I love making fresh everything! I love fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and fresh made mozzarella. Those three loves make the best caprese! And if you top it with olive oil or balsamic vinegar, well, that’s just the icing on the cake. Here, I’m lightening it up using zoodles instead of […]
Easter
Parmesan Peas
Peas in the Spring are sweet little balls of nature’s candy. They burst in your mouth with every bite and are only enhanced with a squeeze of lemon and some fresh parmesan mixed in. I love to eat these peas with my Lemony Salmon, but they would also taste great with chicken, pork chops or […]
