Over the summer, The Husband and I went on a big salad kick. After a long day, it’s just so nice to come home, throw a salad together, and call dinner done. Clean up is usually a breeze and it’s an easy, tasty way for me to get in a daily dose of veggies. Having a unusually successful garden this year kept me motivated as well. Because we were eating salad at least once a week, it gave me the opportunity to enjoy a few our all-time favorite salads out of the recipe box. See some of our ... continue reading...
What’s in Season: September Edition

My summer garden is pretty much caput at this point. I can’t complain. We had a very rainy summer; therefore, we had WAY more success with our garden than usual. In June and July, we had tomatoes and cucumbers coming out the wazoo. I now have enough jars of homemade spaghetti sauce to allow us to eat spaghetti twice a month ... continue reading...
Roasted Corn Salad with Honey Lime Dressing
The Husband and I have been on a salad kick this summer. Maybe it’s because we’ve had the most successful garden EVER this year.
