It’s always sweet corn season in my house! It’s the only time of year I eat corn, so to elongate the season I buy lots of it, shuck it and freeze it until it’s all eaten! I tend to make too much every time I cook it so I can dress it up the next day or make a great soup. Well today I made a fresh and refreshing corn salad. It is not only appealing to the eye, it tastes great too… Continue reading
I’m in the mood for Italian…and I’d like to use up the remaining zucchini and onion from my last farmer’s market haul…combine the two Italian supper/summer veggies – add some grilled chicken and sauce and you’ve got the perfect tasty meal! Here goes… Continue reading
I Love, Love, Love this salad!!! Kale has never been so good! It has the perfect amount of crunchy to creamy…sweet to tart! Unlike other salads you want to dress the kale early so it softens a little. You’ll crave this baby if you make it… Continue reading
This was a wonderful lunch for my Hubby and I while we played Chinese checkers…(which is really a German game…)?! Since zucchini are pouring out of my garden, making them new and delicious is a must. I didn’t want to make the same old fried or spaghetti zucchini and since I love all things smoked I decided to make the whole dish a smoky flavored dish…Success!!! Don’t you love when that happens???

It’s Taco Tuesday! I think this is by far my favorite taco!

WOW!! Continue reading

This is one of my favorite appetizers when we are in the city. I love to eat my tuna raw and when I am certain the tuna is super fresh I just chop it or pound it and eat it!

I think you can tell by now that we are huge fans of homemade Sangrias! Today I’m sharing a light and refreshing Summer White Sangria made with white wine…perfect for these hot days of summer! Continue reading
This was the perfect breakfast to surprise my Hubby with this morning. It’s an easy and impressive way to serve a treat to the ones you love. Dutch pancakes take a little time to prepare and can be served a thousand ways. Made to be savory or sweet, today I made it with a lemon curd butter and a peach compote my mom made. Instead of making one big one which is the norm, I made 4 individual ones in my 6″ little cast iron skillets. Drizzle with the curd butter, top with powdered sugar and put a little fruit compote on the side! Continue reading
