Homemade Remoulade Sauce
This slightly spicy, super creamy Homemade Remoulade Sauce is the perfect pairing for crab cakes, fried fish or shrimp, po’ boys, or even fried pickles (stay tuned for this one).

Butter Bean Salad {with Lemony Thyme Vinaigrette}
This Butter Bean Salad is loaded with fresh herbs & veggies then dressed in Lemony Thyme Vinaigrette. I adore the creamy texture of butter beans and how nicely they pair with fresh bright flavors. It’s the perfect side dish or healthy vegetarian meal.

Lemony Thyme Vinaigrette
Lemony Thyme Vinaigrette is of course loaded with fresh herbs, freshly squeezed lemon juice, some wonderful aromatics and a nice quality extra virgin olive oil. Homemade vinaigrettes are so versatile. And delicious. With oil and vinegar as your base, the flavor pairings are endless.

Thai Pasta Salad {with Peanut Dressing}
Would you look at the vibrant colors in this Thai Pasta Salad! Besides the crisp fresh veggies, we found this lovely tri-colored pasta at our local Farmers Market and wanted to turn it into a nice summer salad. Shhhhh….it’s also gluten free, no one would ever know.

Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad {with Orange Vinaigrette}
Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad with Orange Vinaigrette. Something special happens when the warm orange vinaigrette meets the sliced peaches and berries. Something really special. This wonderful Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad is sweet and sexy enough to be served as dessert. I say let ’em eat dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
-
Quartered Salad {with Herb Vinaigrette}
As the hot summer weather approaches we’ll be looking for some cool & simple dinner options. Two ripe avocados and herb pots blooming with fresh flavors were the inspiration for this Quartered Salad {with Fresh Herb Vinaigrette}. Here’s a sneak peek at this year’s herb gardens.

Homemade BBQ Sauce
We ran out of our favorite bottled BBQ sauce about the time I developed an insatiable craving for BBQ Chicken Pizza. Sadly it’s not available locally so this time I turned the tables and challenged myself to come up with a Homemade BBQ Sauce that was equally as good as our favorite.

Jamaican Jerk Marinade
I find extreme satisfaction from really bold flavors. Not only do they excite my taste buds but they wake up my senses. This punchy Jamaican Jerk Marinade will leave your tongue dissecting the layers of flavors. It’s spicy, slightly sweet, and over the top with aromatics.
-
Autumn Thyme Wedge Salad {with Warm Goat Cheese Fritters}
I made this Autumn Thyme Wedge Salad a couple weeks ago and have been dying to share it with you. It has so many wonderful seasonal flavors that it sings of Autumn Thyme. The star of the salad were the Warm Goat Cheese Fritters. They were so good they deserved their own recipe post (and so delayed the introduction of our newest wedge salad recipe).

Easy Fresh Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam
When peaches and jalapeños meet there is bound to be some sweet spicy love created aka Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam. I am thankful for Farmers’ Markets (where I scored these beautiful Georgia peaches) and friends with gardens (where I scored these picture perfect jalapenos).
