Recently I’ve been doing recipes with corn and zucchini because those are the vegetables that are in season right now. Two delicious choices that are even better in the late summer and fall. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of both these veggies and as long as they’re in season, I use them.… Continue reading Mediterranean Zucchini and Chickpea Salad

Couscous Corn Salad
We’re right in the middle of corn season. While I’m all about the stone fruits during this time of year, there are a few vegetables that I love as well. Actually just two: corn and zucchini. I used to hate zucchini. I don’t know why, I just know that whenever my mom would say we… Continue reading Couscous Corn Salad
Grilled Shrimp Orzo Salad
It’s August which means we’re deep into the summer. I still can’t believe there are only a couple more weeks before school starts. And unlike last year, school is actually going to start! But while the kids going off to school means more time for you to run errands, go shopping or just binge all… Continue reading Grilled Shrimp Orzo Salad
Cucumber Salad
It’s June but here in Southern California, you’d never know it. Here in Redondo we’re in the midst of serious June gloom. We may see the sun, but it’s only for an hour or two.

While I love a good citrus dessert, I also love using these beautiful… Continue reading Roasted Beet Salad with Oranges

Usually that means turkey, stuffing, gravy, some sort of potato dish, a vegetable, cranberry sauce and of course dessert. Last week I made a Quince Cranberry Crumble, so this… Continue reading Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples & Sunflower Chokes
Soy Ginger Edamame Salad
I love Chinese food. I’ve been eating Chinese food for as long as I can remember. Any time we decide to order in I always pitch Chinese, and about half the time that’s what we get. But while I love to order in, I rarely make Chinese food. Other than fried rice, it always seemed… Continue reading Soy Ginger Edamame Salad
Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Salad
Sometimes when it’s hot, the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. It’s on those occasions that I turn on the grill. Yes, I know the grill is an open flame and so also quite hot, but at least I’m outside. Still, sometimes grilling up a piece of chicken or beef… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Salad
