Snow Pea Salad

An old coworker of mine turned me on to this salad many years ago. Snow peas were one of the best things that grew in my (then) new garden, and I needed more ways to serve them. This recipe rocks, both in its simplicity and in its great taste! Snow Pea Salad Contains dairy Ingredients Read More …

Chicken, Black Bean, and Fennel Soup

I invented a soup! Hubby’s parents bought into their community garden this summer, so we’ve been reaping the benefits of their growth (which is great since I’ve been neglecting my garden and it’s been responding in kind.) Funnily, they planted all sorts of vegetables that they’d never eaten before, and they’ve been sharing these new Read More …

Cherry Tomato Salad

Last summer, I had a “Sweet 100” tomato plant that provided us with so many buckets of cherry tomatoes that we couldn’t even eat them all before the fruit flies ate them too and made them rot. Suffice it to say, we had this salad a lot last year! This year, I didn’t purchase tomato Read More …

Green Bean and Corn Salad

Greek ‘n Twirls Salad

This pasta salad is a favorite of hubby’s and mine. The chopping is a little time consuming, but not too bad and it is SOOOO worth it. It’s also easy to substitute ingredients or personalize with veggies that your family enjoys. Our boys still don’t like too many ingredients mixed together, but we’re working on Read More …

Egg-Free Cake Decorating 101

Homemade Chai Tea

I’m back!  And it’s Monday, so it’s time for another recipe! It’s funny, four years ago I discovered that a good way to ignore the passage of time is to be 8 1/2 months pregnant on your birthday.  I wasn’t the least bit interested in turning 30 because I had a baby on the way Read More …
