I love using heirloom tomatoes in summer dishes. They are beautiful, colorful and so flavorful. They come in a variety of colors, like orange, red, purple and green. Heirloom tomatoes pair beautifully with creamy avocados, sweet basil and a dash of balsamic in this Heirloom Tomato Avocado Salad. Did I mention this is vegan and…

Shaved Asparagus Salad
Springtime is just around the corner. Which means asparagus season is also just around the corner. This makes me super excited. I tend to go on an all-things-asparagus binge for a week or so in late February, but I decided to start early. We had some out of town guests over shortly after Christmas. Our…
Herbed Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Goldew Peppers
It was hot here this week! What the heck happened? Oh wait, I live in Texas. The most fickle-climate place ever. The weather teased us with lows in the 30’s and 40’s for three days. Now we are back to highs in the mid 80’s and lows in the 70’s. Fall weather, where did you…

Cute dumpling squashes make a great side (like this Roasted Dumpling Squash), and are also great when stuffed with…

Easy Low Carb Caprese Salad
Summer is in full force over here in Texas. The heat index is over 100 degrees pretty much every day. I am so ready for fall…or winter really. Texas doesn’t seem to have seasons. Just hot, hotter, super hot, and mildly cool. Are you looking for a side that won’t heat up your kitchen? Whip…
Beet and Apple Salad with Marcona Almonds
Beets. I love them. My husband, not so much. We are on day ten of Whole30, and I was trying to figure out how to incorporate some GIANT beets we bought at the market into our weekly meal plan. I ended up with this fabulous Beet and Apple Salad with Marcona Almonds. We also just…
