Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes
Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes. Using ingredients we have on-hand and turning them in to savory goodness makes me happy. Cut tops off tomatoes and using a melon baller gently remove seeds. Fill with prepared spinach artichoke dip. Top with grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt & cracked pepper.

Parmesan Crisps with Summer Tomato Salad
Fresh local grown tomatoes inspire me. And they are so flavorful and delicious right now. The farmers’ market is bursting with gorgeous varieties and the growers are quick to share what makes theirs uniquely different. Alas, I must try them all. Parmesan Crisps with Summer Tomatoes make a wonderful appetizer or serve them in place of a salad.

Gazpacho {Sundays with Shelby}
For me, Gazpacho holds a special place in my heart. There are some foods that evoke emotion and this is one of them for me. Had a great day with my kid! Visited our local “every 3rd weekend antique market” just becuz…. I truly believe Grammy gave us the gift of gab…we couldn’t walk by a booth without engaging the vendor. My kid scored a cast iron tea pot and bartered for a leather vintage bag (90 minute massage = $90 leather bag)!

Parmesan Crisps
Parmesan Crisps are the most delicate and lovely side to a beautiful bowl of soup the world has ever known. They’re also a damn good low-carb snack, bite-sized appetizer vessel or full-sized pasta bowl.

Cauliflower Cheese Grits {Low-Carb Side}
From time to thyme we go on a low-carb kick. Cauliflower has become the new potato in our house. We’ve made Cauliflower Mash for years, but have recently begun turning it into other side dishes, like Cauliflower Rice, Cauliflower ‘Potato’ Salad, and Cauliflower Cheese Grits.

Sesame Brussels Sprout Slaw
Sesame Brussels Sprout Slaw We love slaw at our house and change up our recipe often. But this version was very different. The sesame oil & seeds added that yummy nutty flavor which worked so well with the balsamic. We’ll surely have this one again.

Blackened Blue Cod with Cauliflower Cheese Grits
I was asked yesterday “where do you get your recipes?” The short answer is “everywhere.” Certainly the Internet offers unlimited options, however I love my cookbooks, read cooking magazines, talk to people about recipes, sample food offerings every chance I get, and often offer myself samples “Want a Bite Lib?”

Seared Scallops with Macadamia Cilantro Pesto
Just a little appeteaser… Start with beautiful sea scallops, rinse and pat dry. For these I lightly rolled the edges of the scallops in some sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Set aside while you make pesto.

Zephyr Squash Summer Salad
I could not wait to get home to my farmers’ market bounty last night. Most excited about using zephyr squash for the first time and decided on this salad after visiting the sites of Zephyr Farms & The Kitchn. I simply cut the squash into ribbons and then steamed it until just tender…it still had a nice crunch to it.

Succulent Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
Succulent Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. Without a doubt scallops are my most favorite shellfish, especially big sweet sea scallops. If they didn’t cost quite so much I believe I could eat them every day. There are so many ways to serve scallops but wrapped in bacon is a classic that will never go out of style.
