I don’t eat vegan, but I absolutely 100% prefer this version of broccoli salad to the traditional. Another brand new recipe from my Cook’s Illustrated magazine, there was only a method item I changed and I’ll explain why later, but the flavor was perfection. I brought it to a pool gathering and everyone shared...
A great alternative to standard potato salad, this is perfect for a summer potluck. Mayo free so it holds up well in the heat and is a much healthier option beyond the standard.
This is the sort of salad that, in an absolutely ideal world, we should all eat for lunch every day. The healthiest greens, good fats, and small portions of the things that elevate a salad (nuts, cheese, dried fruit). In the ingredients portion I list the ideal choice first but next to it I...
I got a DM recently from my friend Pete in California. He had made his sweet girlfriend my eggplant lasagna recipe for her birthday. I didn’t even remember that I had the recipe on my site; he said it turned out great and she loved it but that the recipe could use a little...
Remade this – a salad on the site since 2015. When I remake I usually add subtle changes, but not this time. This was made exactly as written and it was better than I remembered. I love peanut sauce – my husband not so much. This was made just for me, and I ate...
This recipe is old as the hills on this site but one I remember well. I want food to taste good and I want variety, but, like my morning shake, I’m drawn to the idea of the “perfect meal”. My shake is half a frozen banana, frozen blueberries or strawberries, a nice clean chocolate...
I found this recipe on Pinterest which led me to this site. I have a friend who loves their recipes and I had all the ingredients. I was to “bring a salad” to a friend get-together with about five families. I used their recipe for the candied pecans but I think as long as...
There have been burgers, there have been beers, and there’s still half a bag of kettle-cooked potato chips plaguing me in my pantry. Two people today told me they were ready for summer to end so they could get “back to routine”, and though my vote is for never ending summer, my diet needs...
Found this in People magazine, and didn’t change much. This super simple salad is perfect for spring and summer when asparagus is seasonally/locally grown. Best part? You don’t even have to turn on the oven. I’m always on the lookout for dishes I can entertain with but that also work with my husband’s diet....
I can remember the first time I had Mexican street corn – it was a “side” that came with food truck takeout. My husband handed it to me; if it was typical corn on the cob I may have passed it up, but this version looked interesting…charred corn, a creamy sauce and lots of...
