This time of year I’m always trying to figure out what to do with alllll of the zucchini. I always make some type of zucchini bread, and some type of stir fry, and usually fritters of some sort. This year I decided to up the protein in my fritters and add some lean ground turkey.…
We’ve been thoroughly enjoying summer and all it has to offer. Beach days, lazy hammock naps, lots of reading, early morning bluff hikes, day trips, iced tropical green tea at the local coffee shop, dinners on the deck, tea on the front porch… the list goes on and on… One of my favorite parts of…
Oh yes! Last night I created another overnight oats jar and this one really turned out good. It’s super healthy and the perfect way to start your day! 1 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking) 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt 1 small banana, peeled and sliced 1 smallish carrot,…
Oooohhhh…. This was SO good. The perfect, easy comfort food dish on a rainy summer day. It’s made on the stovetop, so you’re whole house won’t heat up while you’re cooking. Yay! We’ve been reading about the health benefits of adding shiitake mushrooms to our diet, so we’ve been throwing them into sauces, gravies, soups,…
These tacos showcase all the fresh, delicious flavors of summer! They go together quickly once you grill up your chili chicken thighs. They’re perfect for Friday night dinner on the deck! My bestie, Josh, showed me how to make “food truck-style” taco tortillas one day when he was over for lunch. Pure genius! Seriously, the…
Feelin’ hot hot HOT. It’s a steamy and sunny 85 degrees in Red Wing today. Gracie and I walked up to get our iced tropical green tea at Caribou and now we’re back at home, enjoying the air conditioning and contemplating a possible beach excursion this evening. Here’s a lovely, cooling dessert with a kick!…
Here’s another little (or I guess I should say big) healthy, grain bowl that I made for dinner a few nights ago. This one was really delicious and could easily be made into a vegetarian meal by swapping out the grilled chicken and replacing it with oven roasted chickpeas. The earthy roasted veggies, nutty quinoa…
We love easy, delicious chicken recipes! This is wonderful with buttered whole grain toast points or warmed baguette. If you’re looking for fast, easy and yummy, you’ve come to the right place. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled or baked until completely cooked 1/4 cup unsalted butter (we use Kerrygold, unsalted) 1 medium onion, chopped…
Whoo hoo! Friday’s here! Gracie and I spent the day in Minneapolis yesterday. We had coffee at Caribou on Nicollet Mall, and lunch at Chipotle. Then we strolled up to Barnes & Noble and looked at magazines and books for awhile. All in all, a fabulous way to spend a hot summer day. Today it’s…
As I’ve said before, we adore salads and meals in jars this time of year. Just pack them on ice and head to a beautiful picnic spot. Jars make pretty, earth-friendly vehicles for food. Here’s my latest jar creation. I made up a big batch of Mango Tango Chicken Salad and layered it with pasta…
