We went orange picking a few weekends ago (more details on that here) and we still have so so SO many oranges left to use up. So today’s lunch, snack, dinner, snack (haha jk jk)… just dinner… is this oh so yummy salad with crunch, zestiness, citrus delight and sweetness. Salads are so easy to […]
Summer is nearly over (noooo!!!!)!!! Even though we live in Florida, there is something sad about Summer ending. Gone are the relaxed summer mornings with nowhere to drive…. gone are the care-free days at the beach… but also gone is the sweltering heat (!!). I’m not sad about that last one! Well, Labor Day is […]
The other night, I made a Classic Caesar Salad with some homemade dressing. It was dynamite!! But, one way I like to change up recipes is to try different ingredients in the dishes to make sure they taste just as delicious. Sometimes, they bomb and taste horrible. Other times, they end up even better than […]
Last weekend, our neighbors invited us over for dinner. They made spaghetti & meatballs (yum!) and this salad. Her son was saying to me how amazing it was even before we ate, especially the croutons. He was so right! This salad is the perfect balance of crunchy and creamy. The dressing is almost peppery and […]
I was looking for a vegetarian inspired dinner to make and so I turned to Ali Maffucci of Inspiralized. She has so many vegetarian options that are simple, family-friendly and time/effort easy. Tonight recipe comes straight from her on Instagram with only a few small edits. I have to say, I absolutely loved this dish. […]
Inspired by @katieleekitchen ‘s Peach Caprese Salad, this salad had me screaming summmmerrrrr for lunch today. A fresh nectarine, sweet cherries, creamy burrata, soft fresh herbs, topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Yummy! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
Hot summer weather means yummy, refreshing salads! While I was at the farmer’s market over the weekend, I was able to snag a bunch of fresh spinach, watermelon and strawberries. These are the trifecta of amazing salad ingredients for the summer. So, I threw them in a bowl with some olives, dried fruit, nuts and […]
Over the weekend, we decided to BBQ. We grabbed some burgers and hot dogs from the freezer and grilled them up. But, rather than making our typical Cole Slaw or Potato Salad, I thought I’d make a pasta salad. But not this pesto one that I normally make or this greek salad. I wanted to […]
When the middle of winter hits, I start to crave summer. Even in central Florida! It might be warmer here than much of the rest of the country, but it still gets down into the 30’s and 40’s and sometimes maxes out at COLD! If you couldn’t tell, I’m not a huge fan of the […]
Here’s a quick and easy side dish for any holiday or weeknight where you need a tasty side dish. The roasting brings out the natural flavors of both the carrots and sprouts, which can otherwise be tasteless. It’s easy to put together and even easier to cook up. Just slice and roast and it’s done! Happy […]
