Nothing, and I mean nothing, goes better with pulled pork sandwiches than baked beans. I’d even go so far as to say that I’d eat the side dish straight of a can rather than foregoing it all together. But baked beans are simple and inexpensive to make from scratch, plus you are guaranteed to not [...]

I know, I know, cabbage and sublime in the same sentence sounds crazy right?? But this combo of cabbage and lime-y, thai-inspired dressing is just that. I came across yet another awesome recipe on TheKitchn this week called Grilled Cabbage Wedges with Spicy Lime Dressing and tested it out alongside chicken enchiladas for dinner. All [...]

Barley has a delicious, nutty taste and chewy texture. When cooked slowly with broth, it turns into a risotto-like consistency - perfect for a cold winter night! Since it’s a great source of fiber, you can feel good about spooning a big heap onto your plate like I did this week!
5.5 cups broth (I used chicken, but vegetable would be lovely [...]

Cauliflower is one of my new favorite winter veggies. (I think I overdosed on squash last year, so I’ve been exploring alternatives). The only problem is I don’t always know what to do with it!
I’ve already realized that I do NOT like it steamed; it’s way too bland. Like all other winter vegetables, I do [...]

My hubby said it perfectly: “what a great summer salad!”. Not only is it pleasantly crunchy and hearty, it’s also super easy to make. And it’s great for leftovers (I can vouch for that because I ate it for lunch three days in a row), so it would hold up well for a picnic or [...]

This is a refreshing, tangy slaw that is a great with fish tacos, anything spicy or just alone on a hot day! While I mentioned on Wednesday that jicama was a supermarket purchase, I grabbed my cilantro and carrots at the farmer’s market to balance out the carbon footprint. The key to this dish is [...]

During my childhood summers, my family and I spent many a weekend checking out local festivals, fairs, and carnivals. And while most kids begged their parents for bright pink clouds of cotton candy or greasy funnel cakes topped with powdered sugar, I yearned instead for an ear of BBQ-grilled corn on the cob slathered with [...]

Let me just say that last week was the first time I ever cooked with broccolini. I did some research on how to prepare it and, while you can saute, steam, boil, or roast it, several resources recommended blanching broccolini to help cut the bitterness. It was so simple and resulted in a perfect side [...]

I came home from a work trip a few days after my CSA box arrived and realized Kele hadn’t touched any of the veggies inside. If you get a box, you know how time sensitive some of the goodies are and that I had to kick it into veggie-eating high gear! Inside this week’s box was a bulb of fennel with its [...]
