Broiled Salmon with Roasted Tomato Sauce
How I love August. Not for the heat or the never ending rain (not-so-fun fact: August is already the wettest August ever recorded in Philadelphia, what joy) but because it is tomato season! Fresh … [Read more...]
Vegan Chilled Corn Soup
I had a realization a few days ago that summer is almost over. And the end of summer means the winding down of fresh ingredients. So for the next few weeks, I am going to try to make meals that really … [Read more...]
Baba Ghannouj
My CSA share came with eggplant this week. My mind went immediately to Baba Ghannouj, which is sort of like hummus with eggplant substituted for the chickpeas. The eggplant is grilled or baked before … [Read more...]
Strawberry Prosecco Pops
Coming back to the Philadelphia heat after nearly two weeks in Ireland was a bit of a shock to my system. I was in desperate need for a way to cool down, and what better way than through a cool … [Read more...]
Corn Chowder

Crab Corn and Tomato Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing

I love how purple viking potatoes look. They are so fun. There was no way I was willing to remove all of the skin to make mashed potatoes, so once again, here is a smashed potato recipe. The potatoes … [Read more...]
Fried Okra

Quinoa Salad with Parsley. Or…. Tabbouleh.
Have you ever started creating a recipe, and thought to yourself "Wow! This is going to be awesome! Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?" Well, probably because they have. And you just didn't … [Read more...]
Avocado-Corn Chowder with Rotisserie Chicken
I swear, every single recipe I've come across in the past week has included avocado. I am somewhat blaming one of my coworkers, who manages to consume at least 1/2 an avocado a day, every day. So this … [Read more...]
Top Sirloin Steak with Crispy Buttered Garlic
I think my parents worry about my somewhat limited meat intake. It's not that I don't like meat, I just tend to grab seafood or cook with the veggies in my CSA share instead. Last time I saw them, … [Read more...]
Fried Rice with Sweet Soy Sauce
I really try to make an effort to bring my lunch to work each day. My office is absolutely freezing, so I tend to gravitate towards warm lunches. Because of this, I am always looking for new pasta and … [Read more...]
Shredded Chicken Tacos with Tomatoes and Grilled Corn
Tacos are one of my favorite "quick dinners." For the most part, it all comes down to assembly. I tend to make tacos more as a way to clean my fridge of various vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, corn, … [Read more...]
Green Beans with Garlic and Pecans
Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables. When I found out they were going to be a part of my CSA share I was really excited to have my first of the season. Green beans are delicious on their own … [Read more...]
