We’re definitely into the dog days of summer. Have you been enjoying the weather? For me, this really hot weather almost keeps me out of the kitchen… almost. I’ve held off on turning the oven on most nights the past few weeks and opted to cook out on the grill instead. It’s easy and I love putting together simple,…

Fresh Summer Salsa Verde Pasta Salad
I just love a good pasta salad! It’s great for picnics, cookouts and sometimes I like to just have it by itself for lunch with a piece of fruit.

Blueberry, Almond & Goat Cheese Spinach Salad
Summer is a great time to load up your plate with freshly picked fruits and vegetables.

To help keep things balanced, I try to eat a salad…

Grilling chicken, hamburgers or even hot dogs always makes for a simple, but delicious meal. The meal wouldn’t be complete without…
Summer Garden Salad
During the Summer I cannot get enough of all the fresh fruits and vegetables in my garden and at the road side stands. There are many healthy meals and snacks that are made from those fruits and vegetables, and then there are some not so healthy, delicious, old fashioned dessert recipes that one must absolutely make…
Grilled Chicken & Nectarine Salad
Does this nice Summer weather make you feel like eating a fresh salad everyday? Well that’s what I’ve been doing! The last few weeks were really busy here at our house, and I wasn’t very good when it came to my Daily 5. Fruits & Veggies that is. I wasn’t feeling that great, and I…
Spinach & Watermelon Salad

Salads are such a quick and easy lunch or dinner that can fulfill your daily fruit and vegetable requirements too. Have…
