The Best Marinated Zucchini

The Best Marinated Zucchini

July 18, 2020

This recipe caught my eye in the latest issue of Cook's Country (my favorite cooking magazine). It's peak season for zucchini right now, but other than grilling it, I'm never quite sure what to do with it. Roasted zucchini is delicious, but who wants to crank up the oven in mid-July? And, despite ...

Curried Chickpea Salad

Curried Chickpea Salad

July 11, 2020

Like many people, I panic-bought a lot of pantry staples and household essentials back in March. Among my purchases: shelf-stable guacamole (haven't worked up the nerve to try it yet), 48 rolls of "coreless"(i.e. no hole in the middle) toilet paper from an office supply website, and about ...

Tuna and Wild Rice Salad with Grapes and Apricots

Tuna and Wild Rice Salad with Grapes and Apricots

August 25, 2016

For the most part, I feel like Owen is growing up too fast. How is it possible that he will be four in a few weeks?! We just signed him up for the local soccer league and bought him a "big boy" bike. Last week, at the library, he picked out a movie that was rated PG. When I acted hesitant about ...

Green Goddess Egg Salad

July 6, 2016

Green goddess dressing is the perfect way to punch up ordinary egg salad! Hi you guys! How was your 4th of July? We celebrated with lots of friends and family and LOTS of chocolate. Seriously. My sister-in-law and I miss communicated about dessert one night, and I made chocolate-covered ...

Green Bean Salad with Feta Dressing

Green Bean Salad with Feta Dressing

June 30, 2016

This salad with a tangy feta dressing and crunchy walnuts is a delicious new twist on green beans! I hold a special place in my heart for lettuce-less salads. Do you? There is something so wonderful about a big bowl of crunchy veggies all tossed together with a zippy dressing and maybe some ...

Watermelon Tabbouleh

Watermelon Tabbouleh

June 6, 2016

Juicy ripe watermelon replaces traditional tomato in this healthy, vegan grain salad.  We recently had a bunch of friends over for a barbecue (and so the kids could run wild through the sprinkler) and I made this watermelon tabbouleh. It's one of my favorite recipes on the blog, but, well, ...

Quick and Easy Falafel Salad with Tahini Lime Dressing

June 1, 2016

This quick and simple, healthy vegetarian falafel salad is made with pantry staple ingredients.  One of the things that Alex finds incredibly weird and funny about me is that I need to know in advance if I am going to eat something rich and heavy. When we were first dating, there were so ...
