Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad
Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad. This is such a wonderful weeknight meal. Simple fresh ingredients that come together with ease. Glorious maple pecan encrusted salmon over a bed of crisp romaine with hard boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes, homemade croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. As delicious as you could find in a restaurant, enjoyed in the comfort of home.

Baked Summer Squash Chips
Have you ever made Baked Summer Squash Chips? Last July when summer squash was in abundance at the Farmers’ Market, I couldn’t help but bring home my fair share after every visit.

Eggs Baked in Herbed Spaghetti Squash Nests
Eggs Baked in… And I’m sold. That’s all I need to hear and I’m all in. Eggs baked in that spaghetti squash that’s been patiently waiting in the pantry for her time to shine, is just plain brilliant. Thank you to The Urban Poser for coming up with this one.

Roasted Vegetables {Cauliflower & Brussels Sprouts the unsung heroes}
This past winter we began roasting almost all our veggies. We started out with potatoes and onions tossed in olive oil. Then we added zucchini, which led to cherry tomatoes and eventually we got brave enough to add Brussels sprouts, a formerly avoided at all cost vegetable. Had no idea these could be so amazing…. we actually ate Brussels 2-3 times a week for months.

Zucchini Carbonara & Scrambled Eggs {Breakfast for Dinner}
When the abundant ingredient is zucchini….I’m happy. It is one of my favorite summer vegetables for certain and one I turn to all year long. In an effort to find more low-carb recipe options I came across this Zucchini Carbonara recipe on the site Whole Lifestyle Nutrition. What a fantastic way to enjoy the rich flavors of carbonara without the added carbs from pasta.

Pizza with Cauliflower Crust
As a newbie to the food blogging world I’m not at all surprised at how much I learn every time I sit down to my laptop and read. I have a stack of scrap paper by my computer where I jot down notes, recipe ideas, and sites I want to revisit. I guess you could say it’s my kitchen table Pinterest board. Over the weekend I made the most amazing discovery… Cauliflower Pizza Crust.

North African Lamb Kebabs {with Cilantro Mint Pesto}
North African Lamb Kebabs sounded so intriguing to me. Traditionally we think of kebobs made up of ‘hunks’ of meat and/or vegetables. These kebobs are made with ground lamb that’s blended with heavenly herbs and spices. I came across a recipe in one of my cooking magazines and the ingredients list was right up our alley (and mostly on hand): cumin, coriander, paprika, fresh cilantro, mint, oregano, ginger, garlic…..can’t you just smell it.

Homemade Chicken Broth
Yesterday’s whole chicken brings us to ~ Step 2, heavenly Homemade Chicken Broth. Once I began to save veggie scraps and chicken carcasses on a regular basis, I knew homemade chicken stock was in our future. There are several methods to choose from when making chicken broth. A good old heavy pot with snug fitting lid works well, as does your crockpot or instant pot.

Eggplant Parmesan {with Roasted Tomatoes}
Eggplant Parmesan is one of my most favorite Italian dishes, what’s not to love about something breaded, fried, and topped with melted cheese. It’s also super simple to make.

Skillet Creamed Spinach with Eggs & Bacon
Skillet Creamed Spinach with Eggs & Bacon. I’m so intrigued by baked eggs. Mostly because I love eggs, but also because I like the idea of nestling them into a well of savory goodness where they take on the flavors that surround them. Getting to use my awesome mini cast iron skillets is a bonus. This is a perfect brunch recipe.
