Coconut Shrimp Fried Rice {served in young coconuts}
This Coconut Shrimp Fried Rice is bursting with fresh coconut flavor (and all the other reasons we love fried rice).

Tomato, Cheddar & Basil Pie
This Tomato Cheddar & Basil Pie might just be the prettiest pie I’ve ever made. There’s something so beautiful about a rainbow of homegrown ripe tomatoes. I’ll let these pictures do the talking. Words wouldn’t do it justice.

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.

Apple Fennel Slaw {with Orange Cumin Dressing}
I discovered a couple things from this recipe. Greek Yogurt makes a pretty darn good substitute for mayonnaise IF you are adding some punchy flavors to it….like cumin, coriander, and orange juice & zest. That’s exactly what makes up the delicious dressing for this Apple Fennel Slaw.

Warm Goat Cheese Fritters
Warm Goat Cheese Fritters. So deliciously crispy on the outside, smooth and creamy on the inside. I love you.
-
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).

Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies
Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies I’m so happy this time of year. There’s something so beautiful about fresh from the garden veggies and herbs. Throughout this past winter and spring we’ve been enjoying Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes. Why not show our baby squash and spring onions the same kind of love?!

Farmers’ Market Favorites
I could hardly wait for today to finally get here. It’s opening day for our local Farmers’ Market. Every Wednesday and Saturday from now through October we will be buying our fresh produce from local farmers. I could hardly wait to get there, then I could hardly wait to leave so I could show off my bounty. Recipe inspiration came streaming through my mind as did recipes past where fresh vegetables transformed the dish. That’s when I decided to round-up all my Farmers’ Market Favorites in one post.
