At Fridge to Fork, we LOVE football! Not only do we love rooting for our Dawgs, we may love tailgating food even more! From cheese straws to sliders to boiled peanuts, there's always something to love. Tailgating brings about a sense of community that spans all generations. It's hard to beat that familiar feeling of setting up at the stadium on game day or cheering on your team in your living ...
Simple Strawberry Sorbet (No Ice Cream Maker Required)
I love strawberries - especially when they are in peak season! Picking strawberries was a childhood past time, and I look forward to them enthusiastically every spring. I have fond memories of trips to Montezuma, GA with my grandparents to pick fresh berries on Saturdays. I'm sure my grandmother spent more time getting the berry juice out of my clothes after I ate them straight from the field ...
Shrimp and Green Pea Scampi
Shrimp scampi is a quick weeknight meal with most ingredients you may have in your refrigerator or pantry. We changed this traditional recipe up by adding some green peas for a pop of color! I always try to keep frozen vegetables and frozen protein in the freezer for those weeknights when you do not have time to got to the grocery store or want to do something simple and easy. You could also ...
BBQ Chicken Tacos with Superfood Slaw
BBQ chicken tacos with superfood slaw are a great way to utilize leftovers you have in the fridge. This past Sunday night, I made crock pot BBQ chicken with macaroni and cheese and a side superfood salad with poppyseed dressing. We did not eat all of the BBQ chicken nor the salad (macaroni and cheese was gone though), so I thought what can I do with the leftovers? Tacos! DUH! I always keep ...
Roasted Salmon with Edamame Succotash and Herb Dill Sauce
Succotash is a Southern staple. It typically is served with lima beans and corn, but we jazzed it up by substituting edamame for the lima beans to still give the starch but utilize what was in the freezer. When making this dish at home you can substitute any other vegetable you have on hand. Sara Ann and I happened to have some potatoes, corn, edamame and bell pepper on hand, but you could ...
Edamame Hummus
Edamame hummus is a great alternative to a traditional chick pea hummus. Edamame is packed with plant based protein and fiber! The bright green color of the edamame makes this dish visually appealing as well. We utilized mint in the recipe to give the hummus a refreshing zing but still stayed true to hummus incorporating tahini and olive oil. You can traditionally serve with ...
Spicy Edamame Dipping Sauce
We can't get enough of dipping sauces! Steamed edamame is a simple appetizer or side dish that you can whip out on a moments notice when guests come over unannounced. Soy sauce is your typical dipping sauce, but we wanted to put a healthy spin on the savory umami flavor. The issue comes when trying to find a good dipping sauce as soy sauce and even low sodium soy sauce can still contain ...
Simple Arugula Salad
Simple arugula salad - an easy green dish that packs a lot of flavor. Because arugula is so "peppery," it stands on its own super well, and I find that it doesn't need a lot of jazzing up. Pairing this salad green with a simple lemon juice + olive oil dressing balances out the peppery punch nicely. I love how light this dressing is! In my opinion, you don't want to use a heavy dressing (we're ...
Arugula Green Smoothie
Smoothies are my favorite way to utilize all the fruit leftover in the fridge or the handful of greens I've got hanging around (from that kale salad I made earlier this week). Most green smoothie recipes call for spinach or kale, but after whipping up this delicious cauliflower pizza with arugula salad on top, I had a good bit of arugula left over. So I thought, hey, why not toss some arugula in ...
Cauliflower Pizza with Arugula Salad
Can I get an Amen for cauli-crust? Pre-packaged cauliflower pizza crust was one of the biggest game-changers for us in 2017. In case you're not familiar, cauliflower pizza crust is a low-carb alternative to traditional whole-wheat pizza crust. Although our homemade cauliflower pizza crust definitely takes the cake, this pre-made crust from Trader Joe's is nice to have in a pinch. When it ...
