We’re very particular about our Bloody Marys in my family. Since I can remember, every holiday or family get together my grandfather would stand at the kitchen island, while everyone else whirled around from pot to pan from the stove to the sink cooking and back. Stoically, Boppy would calmly mix the tomato juice, with Worcestershire, olive juice, fresh squeezed lemons and just the right amount of ...

Strawberry Cornbread “Shortbread” with Peaches + Mint
Oh my. Guys, this is one of those easy recipes that's almost TOO good. As in, too easy to make, and too bad for my waistline. But then again, summer only happens once a year, and when you've got ripe peaches and ripe strawberries, you've gotta take full advantage! We don't make a bunch of desserts around here at Fridge to Fork, mostly because we try to stay in the healthy lane as much as ...
Crostini with Burrata + Peaches
Burrata & Peaches: two things I can't get enough of. This summer, the beau and I have been living on a diet of peaches and tomatoes. (A bit of an exaggeration, but they do currently qualify for our core food groups.) Sadly, I haven't found many ripe peaches here in Virginia like I'm accustomed to back home. Which is why on a recent trip to Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, I brought home a ...
Dairy Free Basil Cream Sauce (Whole30)
Creamy, dreamy basil cream sauce with no dairy? Believe it! This "alfredo" sauce is made with cauliflower and has two whole cups of fresh basil blended in, so you can make great use of your summer basil harvest! When I first tried Pinch of Yum's cauliflower "Alfredo" sauce, I was blown away. Guys, you really would never know this is a veggie-based sauce. It's so delicious, you can just eat ...
Strawberry Mignonette
There is nothing that reminds me of summer and the beach more than raw oysters! While I love the salty, briny little bivalves, I like them best with toppings. Sometimes the saltine with a touch of cocktail sauce is all I need, but when I’m feeling fancy I’ll whip up a mignonette! Traditionally mignonette is made with red wine vinegar, shallots, and pepper. This makes for a beautiful flavor ...
Summer Salad of Sugar Snap Peas, Corn, and Tomatoes
Finally the heat has arrived and Atlanta is having some great weather! For me that means it’s grilling season. Honestly I grill year 'round, but it’s more fun to sit out on your porch when the weather is nice, sipping a glass of wine and grilling dinner. Recently, I was making BBQ chicken and I decided to make a fresh and simple sugar snap pea salad to go along with it. Another great reason ...
Cauliflower Spring Pea Salad
I'm so excited to share this roasted cauliflower spring pea salad with you! This dish can be eaten hot or served cold at a picnic. The flavors just scream summer! Now, I've got to be straight up: this dish isn't horrible for you, but it certainly doesn't fall under our typical "healthy eats" category either. So...cue the mayo and bacon, don't eat it every day, and...get over it! It won't ...
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 ...
Raw Brownie Energy Bites (DF, Vegan)
These delicious brownie energy bites taste like a brownie with none of the guilt! They're dairy-free, vegan, and contain no refined sugar, plus they're raw, so you can take in all the nutrients and natural enzymes in the foods. Major win. I like to eat these 'lil treats as an afternoon snack, a healthy dessert, with a hot cup of joe, or as a pre- or post-workout snack! I chose to ...
