I recently broke down and got myself a subscription to Gourmet magazine. It was time to break the habit of buying them here and there or getting them from the library because there’s just too much good info. in there.
Gourmet is definitely just that–Gourmet and for me, that means that sometimes the recipes and articles […]
It’s peak corn season around these parts and honestly, it’s hard for me to stop myself from eating like, 3 ears a day. Because I totally could. I love that Butter and Sugar variety. It’s like candy–truly. This combined with my late-pregnancy “could eat around the clock” situation means that I’m in real danger […]
One of the essential summer flavors has got to be lemon. It’s versatile—it goes with fresh berries, it goes with just about any seafood and it loves veggies, too. Sometimes a little lemon is really all you need to go from bland and boring to bold and exciting in no time. If I have […]

For some people (like my husband) it ain’t easy eatin’ green. When he was a kid his mom made up a little song to encourage him to finish his salad. The main lyric of it was, “Jamie! Jamie! Jamie! Jamie eat your salad!” I guess you kind of have to hear it. Anyway, I don’t […]

Admittedly I use this Sour Cherry Vinaigrette recipe much more in the winter than summer, but I’m not sure why. Either way, it needs to be included this week because it’s too yummy not to be. And It’s also somewhat versatile, like the basil sauce.
This dressing is great on mixed greens. My […]
Probably the most popular summer dressing around here is this basil vinaigrette. With basil in abundance right now, this is a great way to use it—especially because it’s more than a salad dressing. It’s great for drizzling over fresh tomatoes, or for marinating chicken or fish. I use it all over the place. It’s really […]

So, we’re talking about salad dressings this week and I have to include this recipe first because it’s hubby’s favorite and maybe the kind we use the most around here. Being a health-conscious wife and mom, I feel obligated to do what it takes to get the veggies into the mouths of my boys. And […]
We have more salad greens than we know what to do with. The CSA farm we get our share from is abundant with them right now, so it’s always a challenge to keep salad interesting. My husband isn’t the most fruit and vegetable friendly, so if I want help using the greens, I have […]
One of my favorite things on the grill is shrimp. I love shrimp anyway, really. I’m like Bubba from Forrest Gump. “Shrimp kabob, shrimp salad, shrimp creole. . . “ I like it all –and seafood in general. But on the grill is really how shrimp is best, I think, so I recommend it as […]
At this time of year there are lots of options for getting out there and picking your own fruits. I remember when I was a kid going raspberry picking was the coolest thing. There was something fun about searching around for the ripest, ready fruits and picking them as fast as I could. It was […]
