Seasonal Recipe: Strawberry Salsa

Strawberry Salsa Recipe

I will keep this post short and sweet, just like this recipe!  Because when you are 38 weeks pregnant, hungry, and frankly a little cranky, you want a snack that you can make quickly.  FYI so does everyone else around you because apparently cranky, hungry pregnant women are not the most fun to be around.

Seasonal Recipe: Kid-Friendly Asparagus Fries

Oven-Baked Asparagus Fries

I enjoy hardy winter greens as much as anyone, but my fresh foodie self cannot help but be excited when spring rolls around and new produce starts cropping up at the local farmers’ market.  One of those early harbingers of spring is asparagus.  And yes, I did just use the word harbinger; I think that [...]

In honor of my Irish heritage and fellow O-postrophes, I am dedicating the month of March to being green!  While for some that might mean your fair share of green beer or a shamrock or two, in my little food blog world it means paying homage to the modest green vegetable.  All this month I’ll [...]

Seasonal Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

I couldn’t resist ending my month devoted to pumpkin with one last sweet treat!  I have already proclaimed my complete love of any and all ice cream this summer with my take on classic peach, but it seemed a shame to let Fall pass without its own seasonal varietal.  It doesn’t hurt that it’s 80 [...]

Seasonal Recipe: Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin Pancakes

On the East Coast, nothing says Fall like pumpkin patches and hay rides.  I have so many fond memories of my childhood going to the local farm to pick out the perfect Halloween Jack-o-lantern and bringing it home to carve up for our front step.  I can almost feel the prickly hay and smell the [...]

I think I’ve only ever eaten okra once in my life before I prepared today’s recipe.  Strike that, I know I’ve only ever eaten okra once in my life before I prepared today’s recipe.  My wonderful friend Sarah prepared traditional fried okra for one of our military family Thanksgivings, and I vaguely remember popping them [...]

Seasonal Recipe: Zucchini Lasagna

IMG_5752

As the self-proclaimed cheese lover that I am, it should come as no surprise that I absolutely enjoy a good lasagna.  What’s not to love?  They usually feature at least two to three types of cheese layered between delicious pasta and bubbling tomato sauce.  But turns out they are also a wonderful way to incorporate [...]

Seasonal Recipe: Fig Spread

Turkey Burgers with Fig Spread

I love what I do, no questions asked.  But never do I think of myself as some amazing chef or the greatest thing since sliced pumpkin Nutella bread.  I’m just a simple home-cook who is passionate about what she makes and loves using the freshest, whole ingredients.  So when I make something like the fig [...]

We all get to a point in a season when we start to run out of steam with a veggie or fruit, and find ourselves thinking,  “What else can I possibly make with this?”  This seems to happen more often than not with the wonderful humble zucchini and when it does, I start baking!  Zucchini [...]
