The plan was to have a pork roast for dinner last week (technically grilled, but the same concept). I think of roast pork as a fall/winter meal and I was totally dreading this for a summertime dinner, plus it was just. sounded. boring. I went about my way of seasoning the pork and tossing itContinue reading “Peach Cherry Salsa”

Fourth of July Watermelon
Maybe you do this already, but I had a fun brainstorm for patriotic Fourth of July watermelon today!

Summer Send-off
What a summer! This was one for the books for our little family. Nothing huge happened, just a whole lotta fun – beach days, pool days, dinners out, play dates, adventures with friends, vacations with cousins, sleepovers with cousins, a couple date nights, and ice cream – a decent amount of ice cream. Anyway, weContinue reading “Summer Send-off”

Fruit is so fantastic in the summer that there is nothing better than a fruit salad. BUT! I hate when the juicy fruit makes the otherContinue reading “A Better Fruit Salad”
7 Minute Snow Peas

Last weekContinue reading “7 Minute Snow Peas”
6 Ingredient Black Bean Salad
With hotter temps comes the desire to eat lighter food, right? And with that we are always searching for easy, delicious salads to eat for dinner that don’t involve pasta (even though I do love a good pasta salad). There are about a hundred versions of black bean and corn salads on Pinterest and afterContinue reading “6 Ingredient Black Bean Salad”
Homemade Pickles
Do you know how crazy easy it is to make your own pickles? We received a large bag of pickling cucumbers (Kirby Cucumbers are their official name) from our CSA a couple weeks ago and there’s not much else to do with them other than make pickles, so we did! We bought a 2 literContinue reading “Homemade Pickles”

And you can fill them with whatever you want so they can even be – dare I say – healthy! IContinue reading “Berry Yogurt Popsicles”
