Salad of the Week: Fresh Corn with Bacon & Potatoes
I needed salads — vegetables mixed with things — that keep. I need things I can just spoon into a container, because during that time in my morning, I can’t really be expected to think, create, and assemble.
Garden Vegetable “Pasta”
My zucchini are yellow this year. Don’t ask me why because I have no idea. Isn’t it the most beautiful color though? I might paint
Real Life Reboot
Did anyone notice that I haven’t posted in a while? My mom did. And my sister. I’m imagine very few of the rest of you spend your
Leaving Grade School
So, another school year is behind us. The crazy last few weeks of school (who can relate to this?) were especially momentous because my son graduated from middle school (oh,
Paleo Granola is Good, Oxymoron or Not
Even though “grain-free granola” is a contradiction in terms, this is a real treat. It just happens to be a clean and relatively healthy alternative to most breakfast cereals.
That Mozza Salad
I’ve made this salad a zillion times because it’s really something special. (It better be; it’s $18 at the restaurant.) With its tangy, oregano-y dressing, it tastes like an Italian sub sandwich in a bowl.

This morning I drove my son and some of his classmates to deliver holiday meals to less fortunate families. The folks who opened their doors for us were so thankful for a turkey and a box of Stove Top stuffing.
Soup is Always a Good Idea
Throw this soup together in the late afternoon while you’re kids are doing homework and then eat whenever you’re ready. It will be there waiting (just getting better and better, actually).
Zucchini Fries That Aren’t Fried
Who doesn’t need more (kid-friendly) ways to cook zucchini, right?
Summer Fruit & Vegetable Ceviche
Imagine my surprise when I logged on here and realized I hadn’t posted since July 2. I hope you all had as fun a summer as I did. Although I wasn’t writing much, I was eating plenty.
Greetings from Nowhere Near my Kitchen
Since I’m out of the kitchen this week, I reached into my “archives” for some of my all-time favorite holiday weekend recipes. All of these make great additions to a pot luck, barbecue, or poolside spread. They’re (mostly) healthy, but I don’t think anybody will mind. Happy Fourth of July!
