I love bread. I know it’s super heavy on the carbs and it’s not the healthiest option out there, but I can’t get enough, especially when it’s piping hot, just out of the oven. But of all the different kinds of bread out there, my favorite is definitely focaccia. I make it every chance I… Continue reading Peach Berry Focaccia

Ceviche Tostadas
When the weather turns hot, I like cool meals. It’s time for grilled proteins and pasta salads, poke and lettuce wraps, anything that’s chilled and filling. I don’t care if it’s cold fried chicken, steak salad or raw fish, if it’s cold and full or flavor, it’s all I want. One of my favorite choices… Continue reading Ceviche Tostadas
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
Corn and Cucumber Salad
We’re officially in the dog days of summer. It’s hot and humid and the only place I want to be is by the pool, on the beach or in my air conditioned house. It’s on days like these that the last thing I want to do is turn on my oven. So, I figure out… Continue reading Corn and Cucumber Salad
Grilled Marinated Halibut
Hubs likes to fish. He didn’t used to, but one of the dads on the block is a huge fisherman and has been taking the guys out a few times a year. So, Hubs joined the party and turned into quite the fisherman. Unfortunately that friend moved away, but as a good-bye, he took the… Continue reading Grilled Marinated Halibut
Cedar Plank Miso Salmon
Did you know that this weekend is officially the start of summer? Okay, I know that summer officially starts June 21st, but a lot of people consider Memorial Day the beginning. It’s a three day weekend, people go away and there’s a lot of barbecuing. While barbecuing is becoming more and more of a year-round… Continue reading Cedar Plank Miso Salmon
Salmon with Ginger Corn Salsa
I love summer because this is the time when all the stone fruits and berries are in season. They’re just amazing, and so, so sweet, it’s like dessert right off the tree. But there isn’t just all that wonderful fruit. There’s also some awesome veggies out there like green beans, beets and my personal favorite… Continue reading Salmon with Ginger Corn Salsa
Chili Chicken with Peach-Lime Sauce
Peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits. It actually might be my absolute. I always load up on them at the farmer’s market every week. I usually use them in desserts and salads. But every so often I like to add them to dinners for a little pop of sweetness, and this chicken dish… Continue reading Chili Chicken with Peach-Lime Sauce
Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salad
If there’s one thing I love this time of year, it’s grilled corn, especially white corn. I eat it straight off the cob but I also frequently shear off the kernels and turn them into a salad. It’s super easy and a nice way to still have the same great vegetable without getting butter and… Continue reading Grilled Corn & Blueberry Salad
Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups
When I grew up, my family and I had Chinese take out on a regular basis. I always loved the fried rice, dumplings and egg rolls. They were delicious and I always looked forward to those nights when we ordered out. Then in college, I had two Asian roommates. One was Korean and the other… Continue reading Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups
Silver Fizz
If there’s one drink I prefer during the summer time, it’s lemonade. Soemthing about that sweet, tart drink just makes everything better. I know I’m not alone in this thinking because it’s around this time of year that kids of all ages start setting up lemonade stands all over neighborhoods. We all stop and buy… Continue reading Silver Fizz
