Oh Sweet Summer. If ever there is an easier time to eat healthfully, it’s now. The produce is in full bloom and everything tastes a little bit better. Gone are the heavier soups and stews of winter time. Now it’s time for a grilled piece of chicken or salmon and this delicious Spinach Salad with…

Kale Caesar Pasta Salad
I love kale. There I said it. I know it’s not the most popular thing to say in some circles, but I really do love kale. The last picnic I attended, I brought kale chips. I made everyone try one. As expected some loved them and some did not. Bottom line- I am an ambassador…
Brussel Sprout Salad with Herb Dressing
I love me a roasted Brussel Sprout. Once I discovered how good roasting them was, I realized I actually like them. I’ve found I don’t like them boiled or steamed. You might be like that too. Perhaps the only brussel sprout you’ve encountered comes all limp and tasteless from a frozen bag. This Brussel Sprout…
Quick Shrimp Ceviche
Is it like 1000 degrees where you are? Chances are if you live in the continental United States right now you’re pretty warm. By pretty warm I mean heat indexes over 100. This quick shrimp ceviche is the answer. While ceviche sounds super fancy, it’s simply a way of cooking seafood with citrus juice and…
Zucchini Stuffed Lasagna
I know we’ve all seen those zucchini “noodle” recipes floating around the internet. While I enjoy a zoodle as much as the next person, in lasagna, I need the noodle. My husband needs the meat, and neither of us is a fan of ricotta. As you can imagine this Zucchini Stuffed Lasagna pretty much answers…

Easy Fresh Tomato Basil Marinara
Summer is winding down, so it means that the farm markets and our own gardens are over flowing with produce. If ever there was a time to do as the squirrels do and stock up, this is it. I love getting into the kitchen and cutting corn off the cob, freezing fruit, making jam, and…
Zucchini Flax and Chia Morning Muffins
This post was updated 7/7/2017. Zucchini. I planted one zucchini plant this year and so far four zucchini have sprouted up quickly. With the number of flowers budding on this plant, I better get creative with the zucchini recipes. These Zucchini Flax and Chia Morning Muffins are the perfect zucchini recipe. They sneak some veggies…
Easy Instant Fruity Oatmeal Cups
Easy instant fruity oatmeal cups are one of those recipes that helps me avoid those sugar bomb oatmeal packets from the store. There’s a lot of unaccounted for ingredients and sugar in there, and the fact is, I just want oatmeal. I am so sad when the last one is gone for the week. The…
Strawberry Lemon Muffins
There’s just something about a beautiful muffin and a cup of coffee. Although I often order oatmeal or an egg sandwich at my favorite coffee place, the giant sugar topped muffins are always staring me down. Today is grocery day and as I started to clear the fridge and get inspired, some strawberries that needed…
