Gazpacho with Ditalini
So it’s been hot. Like really hot. It’s also been humid (for Colorado). Like really humid. After living here for quite some time, we’ve gotten used to the dryness that is Colorado. Unfortunately, we have been blessed with disgusting, moist weather. Because of this horribleness, we decided to make gazpacho. Gazpacho is hit or […]
Blackberry Lemonade
Yup, blackberry lemonade…just because. Zach and I are obsessed with lemonades and juices. We stock up when they go on sale, and even then, they are gone within just a couple of days. I truly think the Simply Lemonades are some of the best on the planet. Because they are so fresh, they have […]
Avocado and Tropical Fruit Salsa
I love the flavors of summer and this salsa totally embodies the flavors of summer. I seriously wish that some of these tropical fruits were hardy enough to grow in our “rough” climate because I would certainly have some kind of tropical fruit orchard growing right now. Oh well, you can’t have everything. This […]
Sopaipillas (or Sopapillas) with Cannoli Cream & Fresh Fruit
Ever since our recent road trip to the Grand Canyon, I have been craving sopaipillas. Of course, I’m sure most of us have had a sopaipilla at some point in our lives. It’s really just a Southwestern/Mexican/Texan/Latin American/South American/Central American (yeah they serve them just about everywhere!) version of a donut. I forgot about […]
Chocolate Dipped Marshmallow and Fruit Skewers
Because the 4th of July is right around the corner, that’s why! I have seen many “skewer-type” recipes out there that delve into the dessert category, but I wanted to go a slightly different route. I originally wanted to do this recipe with pound cake because pound cake is absolutely delicious and it’s holds […]
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 […]
Grilled Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
Tacos are our go to when we don’t know what else to make. Frankly, I think tacos are one of the most amazing inventions on the planet. You really could put just about anything into them, and they are delicious. Last night would be no different. So why did we take the easy way […]
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 […]
Grilled Corn on the Cob with Herb Butter
Well I lied. I decided to take a break from pulled pork today. Can you tell I’m getting sick of it yet? Well, I am. Last night I needed a night off from the stuff, so I made Zach and I fresh green bean salads and corn on the cob. Why you ask? Because […]
