Summer Peach Sangria

A summery spin on the classic sangria, you can use all peaches or mix it up with a combination of fruit, like mangos, cherries, nectarines, plums and/or apples.   After living for a short time in Spain, I developed a love of paella, tortillas Españolas, and a certain time-honored, fruit-filled drink. Though my recipe for…

Sesame Soy Salmon (an easy 4-ingredient marinade)

Four simple ingredients come together with ease in this flavor-packed marinade that makes the most of salmon and so much more!   I could hardly let a summer pass without sharing some version of my favorite 3-ingredient marinade. This marinade has been quite popular with my family and friends for at least a decade now,…

A satisfying grab-and-go breakfast or snack, Banana Bread Breakfast Bars are easy to make and allergy friendly.   This basic breakfast bar recipe is made with no refined sugar, wheat flour, or dairy and can be made egg-free. But most importantly, it tastes great. Since hitting on the ingredient combination in the recipe below, I…

Little Bites

Too often, I make new things but don’t get around to sharing them.  I jot down the ingredients I’ve thrown together with every intention of typing them later.  The piece of scrap paper I’ve inevitably grabbed to write down the recipe is, occasionally, never to be found again.  Or the pile of papers I placed…

Barbecued Bean Salad

A crowd-pleasing, family-friendly alternative to baked beans, this protein-rich salad can be prepared in advance and the flavor improves over time.   As I walked to school with my younger son one morning last month, he mentioned that his 6th grade history class’s Colonial unit would be culminating with a special lunch. All students were…

Slow Grilled Baby Back Ribs

The cooking time for these crowd-pleasing ribs is long but the effort is minimal – and the results are nothing short of finger-licking good! Though my husband doesn’t do a lot of cooking, his talents shine bright when it comes to the grill. He has the Midas touch when it comes to tender, juicy chicken…

Favorite Thin Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

When planning a recent extended family birthday dinner, my sister-in-law joked that we are a pathetic bunch with the combined list of food restrictions.  Gluten-free, dairy-free, seafood allergy, vegetarian, and allergies to soy and a few other common foods thrown in for good measure.  Picky eaters are the least of our worries! But in all…

Big Batch Bacon Horseradish Broccoli Salad

I adore broccoli.  It doesn’t even have to be fancy.  Simply steamed or raw and dipped in homemade ranch dressing, it’s all good.  Where broccoli salad is concerned, I have a special bond.  But in order to make me really swoon, this salad must meet high standards! The following recipe is one of a few…

Crab, Avocado & Corn Salad with Cilantro & Lime

Memorial Day weekend officially launches the season of cookouts, picnics, and pool time. A repertoire of simple, make-ahead recipes can ensure more time enjoying the outdoor fun and less time sweating it out in the kitchen. The following crab salad was an early addition to my blog and has developed a loyal fan base. My…

Rhubarb Pineapple Jam

Over the last couple weeks, I’ve noticed rhubarb reappearing at our local farmers markets.  I have held out buying any as the two rhubarb plants in our backyard garden have been growing quickly.  I marvel at how briskly rhubarb grows ever spring, from those first early leaves that poke out of the ground when it…

Balsamic Lime Vinaigrette

As many of you know, I’m a big fan of homemade dressings and vinaigrettes.  Typically, they are easy to mix up with ingredients readily had on hand and the flavors have the ability to turn a basic recipe into something fantastic.  As an added bonus, there’s usually a cost savings over store-bought varieties and no…
