This pasta salad is your perfect picnic dish. Whether it’s just the two of you out for a hike in the woods, or it’s a family reunion, this salad will be a crowd pleaser. Zach and I took this on our trip back East. It travels easily, and because it’s meant to be cold, there’s […]
Almond, Cashew Chicken Salad on Ciabatta
This chicken salad was an addition to our menu for our road trip back East for Thanksgiving. It was in one word “fantabulous.” It was so good, that this is basically what I ate every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner on our trip. It’s so easy. There is no cooking involved (except for the […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola
I decided to mix things up a bit today. I don’t often do these recipes early in the day. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever made these recipes earlier than 3 pm. I don’t know why! The lighting for the pictures is so much better! I told Zach, that I’m going to start making our […]
Cilantro, Lime Chicken Burgers with Roasted Garlic Squash
We really decided to go with a burger theme this week, didn’t we!? Turkey Burgers earlier this week, then chicken burgers last night! This recipe was a total experiment. We had no idea how these were going to turn out. We actually tried to grind the chicken thigh ourselves – that didn’t work out so […]

With leeks now coming into season we have noticed a large increase in the number of leek soups appearing at local […]

Fruit and Veggie Eggs Benedict – Go USA!
To kick off our Olympic “coverage” of dishes from around the world, we started in, of course, the USA! You could really say that this is the USA with a dash of Netherlands, since Hollandaise is involved, and it is said to have originated there. Although the Dutch seem to disagree with this conclusion. You […]
