Strawberry Bruschetta
Strawberry Bruschetta: a simple summer appetizer that'll be a hit at your next gathering! Last summer, I whipped this up with half of a baguette that was leftover from making panzanella. I had a few friends over for dinner, and this was gone in a flash! The basil, strawberries, and feta work so well together. (If you aren't a feta fan, you can use goat cheese instead.) I particularly enjoy ...
Blistered Shishito Peppers with Ponzu Sauce
Last summer, I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Nantucket celebrating my friend's upcoming nuptials. There were so many things to love about the restaurant scene in Nantucket, but my favorite dinner experience had to be at Nautilus. The calamari was out of this world, as was the crudo of the night and the blue crab fried rice. Between several of their more complex plates, the shishito ...
Buffalo Cauliflower with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing
Let's be honest: there are some dishes that just can't be duplicated or “made healthy.” For me, one of those dishes is buffalo hot wings. I love a good wing -- I’m partial to the flats and can expertly finish one in one bite! And while they do offer a good amount of protein, deep fried chicken skin tossed in butter and hot sauce is not the healthiest choice. That being said, I want to preface ...
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 ...
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 ...
Turmeric Cauliflower Soup (DF, Vegan)
A little bit spicy, a little bit sweet. A little bit of crunch mixed in with a whole lotta creaminess. Yes, my friend, I'm talking about our turmeric cauliflower soup. It's super creamy, but is in fact both vegan and dairy-free! I love a reason to bust out my dutch oven, and what better excuse than a big pot of soup! The base of this soup couldn't be simpler. You'll start out by sautéing ...
Tropical Green Smoothie
With summer right around the corner and temperatures rising, I'm craving lighter, easier meals. This tropical green smoothie definitely fits the bill. This smoothie takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, and only requires a blender. If you've ever been wary of green smoothies, this is a great recipe to try. The spinach is mild enough that the smoothie still tastes fruity and sweet. You can ...
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 ...
