A lot of my friends have been asking me for recipes to use their lovely, ripe, end of season tomato harvest. The fact that I have friends with too many tomatoes is completely frustrating to
Marinated Cactus Salad! Admit it. You read the title of this post and thought, “Well, it’s finally happened. She’s gone completely nuts.” That’s okay. I was skeptical at first but then I quickly became something
Scalloped Corn – so creamy and delicious. I was not prepared to love it as much as I did. I like corn on the cob and in recipes like Corn Chowder. I even like canned cream
Friends, I have had a Blueberry Frozen Yogurt epiphany. I’ve made ice cream many, many times but never frozen yogurt. WHY????? It’s so good! It’s so easy! And, because it doesn’t have eggs like custard
It is a miracle that there is a photo of these Zucchini Fritters. These were so ridiculously good, we were shoving them in our faces as fast as I could cook them. Even if you
Watermelon Gazpacho! Yes, you read that correctly. Watermelon. In Gazpacho. Awesome! If this doesn’t scream SUMMER, I don’t know what does. My husband often takes his lunch to work and when he brought this out

Southwestern Quinoa with black beans, roasted corn, tomatoes, caramelized onions…too many good things to list them all! I’m a big fan of quinoa as both a cold salad and as a warm side dish. By now
Zesty Brussels Sprouts Salad! So good. Light and fresh. Will you promise to try this salad even if you don’t think you like brussels sprouts? Have you ever tried them raw? I know brussels sprouts
Hello Artichokes! It’s spring! Time to commune with your favorite edible thistle! If you’ve never had artichokes (other than possibly the frozen or marinated artichoke hearts), you’re in for a treat. It’s a little bit
Sweet Potato Waffles! This was my husband’s rather brilliant suggestion for breakfast last weekend. While we were out walking Sunday morning, I asked if he wanted breakfast when we got home. Not only was the
I’ve been on a bit of a Mexican/Tex Mex/Southwest cooking kick lately. Somehow, I’m guessing that most of you won’t mind. This happens in my weird cooking brain when I make one dish and it’s
