Speedy Guacamole
Homemade guacamole can be made in a flash using your favorite salsa. If you just need a little, cut the recipe in half; double it if you are feeding a crowd. Either way, you can whip this up in no time! Try this on Mexican Pizzas for a real slice of heaven!
Eggs, Lox and Avocado Toast
After making–and falling completely in love with!–my Brown Soda Bread with Steel Cut Oats, I was contemplating fun ways to use it for a simple meal. Given an overload of eggs from our backyard chickens, I knew I wanted to put some of them to use. I had also been thinking about the traditional cream…
The Ruby Red
My husband is a big fan of Fresca, so a friend of ours concocted this drink to please him. I thought the combination was brilliant and took a shining to it myself. The best part is that it tastes great with or without the alcohol and the grapefruit juice provides a good dose of Vitamin…
Smashed Roasted Potatoes (2 Ways)
In my family, we have those who adore sweet potatoes and those who prefer the white varieties. So, I often make oven fries two ways to please everyone. (I like them both!) This addictive spin on an oven fry delivers a creamy inside and a little crunch on the outside. The prep may be done…
Mom’s Famous Taco Pie (Gluten-Free)
Simple ingredients come together in short order in this Tex-Mex dish the whole family will enjoy. Perfect for busy weeknights! My mom is a big fan of Mexican food and is great at devising easy recipes. She has also gotten rather adept at providing tasty gluten-free options since my dad had to give up…
Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops
Rosemary and lemon zest add singular flavor to these restaurant-worthy lamb chops, which grill quickly to tender, juicy perfection and may just add some welcome variety to the weekly dinner menu. If lamb isn’t a go-to dinner pick for you, this recipe may be reason for that to change. When cooked well, lamb is extremely…
Pineapple Salsa
Sweet and savory with a hint of heat, this vibrant salsa adds flavorful appeal to fish, tacos, pork, lamb, and grilled meats of all kinds. Grilling is the perfect way to get a great dinner on the table quickly. Marinades are wonderful, but sometimes I don’t think far enough in advance for an adequate steep. With…
Honey Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”
Those who know me are well aware of my huge penchant for ice cream. I love it. I could eat in every night. I buy ice cream cones for home use and I am rather heavy-handed with the scooping. Once, I gave it up for lent just to prove to myself that I could. I…
Mango Peach Smoothie
A nasty, little virus knocked on our door a few days ago and my younger son was hit rather hard. After a couple days of not eating much, he requested a smoothie last night (as well as last week’s bread…couldn’t pull that one off in time!). I had one more mango on hand–his favorite–so I…
Kale Chips
We grow kale in our garden and eat it in a myriad of ways. Our plants actually survived past Christmas this year. My kids seriously love it. Our chickens love it, too. (That’s a whole other interesting story!) Knowing kale might not be a hit with two young boys, the first way I ever served…
Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
With the bananas and whole wheat flour, I like to think of this dessert as two-thirds healthy! It is 100% delicious and the perfect way to keep over-ripe bananas from going to waste!
Potato-Chive Salmon Burgers (or Sliders)
Having canned, wild salmon on hand is such an easy way to whip up a quick, healthy, affordable dinner–in this case, as salmon cakes. The addition of leftover potatoes and chives give the cakes some heft and great flavor. Remaining salmon cakes make a satisfying sandwich for lunch or another dinner the next day. To…
