A Summertime Barley Salad
Let’s talk barley shall we? I really feel bad for the poor little grain. He so often gets the cold shoulder! I feel like the second someone looks at the packaging on raw barley and finds that it has to cook for at least an hour, it’s immediately placed back on the shelf. Yes […]
Green Bean and Avocado Summer Salads
Pasta and greens have to be one of my favorite combinations in the world. Toss them with avocado, green beans and some dried fruit, and you have yourself a real winner. I was certainly in need of a big salad this week after all of that pulled pork (which by the way, there is […]
Chipotle, Mango Chicken Salad
Well it’s Sunday. How was everyone’s weekend?! Ours just flew by way too fast. Way. Too. Fast. It was beautiful here. Perfect 75-80 degree F weather. You can’t get much better than that. We unfortunately have snow in the forecast for Wednesday…right before my sister arrives for a visit. I’m sure she will just LOVE […]
An “Untraditional” Panzanella Salad
I’ve been wanting to make a panzanella salad for a while now. Every time I see someone making it on a cooking show or read about it in a cook book, I get the urge to make one. Unfortunately, an hour goes by and I forget about it all together! Fortunately for us and all […]
Crispy Duck Salad with a Dried Cherry Compote

Melon and Prosciutto Salad
Few things go better together than prosciutto and fruit, especially melon. Now, I know that it is yet to be “melon season,” but I just couldn’t help myself. The sweet and salty combination was calling my name, and I’m not talking about chocolate covered pretzels. Although, that does sound incredible right now. Hmmmm, maybe after […]
Dreaming of Summertime with Greek-Style Couscous Salad
Do you ever just crave “summertime” food? I know that I do. I love everything about the winter: the food, the snow, the outdoor fun and the cold, but I do enjoy a summertime meal every once in a while. One meal that just screams “summertime” is a cold pasta salad and barbecue chicken. Zach […]

This winter fruit salad is the perfect side dish!
“All Things Veggie” Pasta Salad
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 […]
