In a clean out the fridge meal of last week, I made these gorgeous (and exceptionally simple) roasted multi-colored carrots. A pot of Greek yogurt kicking around inspired a base of garlicky, saucy goodness to offset the sweet honey drizzle. And of course, you can’t forget the crunch! Never forget a crunch! It reminds you…

Ultimate Red Pepper Pasta Sauce Recipe
While I was away on a trip without the Gentleman, he attempted to follow my recipe for a banging Romanesco sauce that he regularly commandeers as his regular, favorite pasta sauce. I’m told that while my sauce delivers, my recipe did not. I remade it my memory, and include the proper measurements here for the…
Delicious Pistachio Pesto Pasta Salad Recipe
For the first year ever, I have an abundance of basil! The livelihood of this plant has been elusive for years, dying on different balconies all over the world, but thanks to the Gentleman and his green thumb, we have basil…lots of it! And as it’s the self-proclaimed year of the pistachio, we have pistachio…
Mediterranean Grilled Zucchini Salad
In prime grill season, I’m largely in charge of sides and have been enjoying test driving a plethora of new flavors. This zucchini salad delivered a summery burst of flavor and color. Mediterranean Zucchini Salad
Easy Barbeque Side: Lemony Couscous Salad
After a weekend of grilling, the star might just have been this very simple, very fresh side- lemony couscous salad. This recipe feeds about four, but make lots as it’s all anyone was really after at our barbecue. Lemony Couscous Salad For the dressing:
Ina’s Apple and Butternut Squash Soup
It is getting legit cold here in Switzerland, which calls for fall soup weather! With butternut squash self-service stalls all over the area, souping it only seemed like the right thing to do. The recipe was nice and had an interesting kick with apple juice, but I much prefer Ina’s Winter Squash soup which is…
Ina’s French Bistro Salad
A salad so nice, I made it twice (in one weekend). This salad feels special, but really is the perfect combo of creamy, crunchy, sweet, salty, and fresh. We’ve already added it to our Christmas menu. Ina’s French Bistro Salad For the salad: For the dressing: Note: delicious salad that does NOT hold up in…
Thai Peanut Chicken Salad
Seeking new inspiration in the ‘shredding for the wedding’ department, I landed on a new Thai chicken salad with addictive peanut dressing recipe that was a huge hit and plans to be part of the regular rotation. Without further ado… Thai Chicken Salad Peanut Dressing: Salad: Topping:
Olea Social- London
Amongst the darling side streets of Covent Garden, like a perrenial favorite, Flower Street, hang a right and you’ll run into Olea Social. After much pub grub and cozy fare, we sought something lighter and landed on Olea Social for an attempt at vegetables. I started with a housemade lemonade and the baba ghanoush with…
Food Processor Salsa
This makes a TON of salsa, perfect for a party and it takes absolutely no time to throw together. Theme of this last weekend was that it was an accompaniment so nice, there was no time to take a photo and this one certainly proved on brand.
Ina’s Broiled Tomatoes
Heading out of town with three tomatoes kicking around the house? Me too! It was the perfect excuse to try Ina’s broiled tomatoes which were as easy as they were delicious. Definitely give this one a try with summer’s favorite veggie/fruit. Pictured here on a bed of leftover couscous, because…travel and fridge cleanout. Ina’s Broiled…
Puglia Peach Side Dish
Renting a house in Puglia was one of the best vacations we’ve done. Having no oven and only a bbq was a fun challenge of planning side dishes and one of the standouts was this refreshing dish of grilled peaches, fresh tomatoes plated on a bed of creamy Stracciatella and drizzled with hot honey. Topped…
