Would you look at the vibrant colors in this Thai Pasta Salad! Besides the crisp fresh veggies, we found this lovely tri-colored pasta at our local Farmers Market and wanted to turn it into a nice summer salad. Shhhhh….it’s also gluten free, no one would ever know.

Months and months ago when I was doing a little research on tomatillos for my Salsa Verde recipe, I ‘bookmarked’ a recipe for Fire Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole. Which translated means I wrote it on a piece of scrap paper and shoved it in my folder of recipes that I plan to make some day. Today’s the day for this crazy good recipe I found on Gilt Taste.

I made this Autumn Thyme Wedge Salad a couple weeks ago and have been dying to share it with you. It has so many wonderful seasonal flavors that it sings of Autumn Thyme. The star of the salad were the Warm Goat Cheese Fritters. They were so good they deserved their own recipe post (and so delayed the introduction of our newest wedge salad recipe). Continue reading »

I am thankful for Farmers’ Markets (where I scored these beautiful Georgia peaches) and friends with gardens (where I scored these picture perfect jalapenos). When peaches and jalapeños meet there is bound to be some sweet spicy love created aka Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam.

Sometimes less is more. I know I’ve said that recently in a post. I’m intentionally practicing that line. Sometimes less is more. Key word here ‘sometimes.’ Perhaps to a fault, I’ve always been a fan of ‘the more the merrier,’ however last night called for a simple, quick and easy dinner. The Classic Reuben Sandwich on fresh bakery marble rye bread with a schmear of amazing Homemade Russian Dressing was just right. Continue reading »

Fire Roasted Poblano, Cilantro & Lime Dressing is my new favorite. Slightly smoky bright flavors, balanced by toasted cumin, cilantro and fresh lime juice. I wanted each component to hold it’s flavor identity, so I’ve left it slightly chunky. Turns out this dressing doubles as a kickin’ salsa :) and soon to be used as a marinade. Continue reading »

I’m a huge fan of Italian Grinders aka Italian Submarine Sandwiches. For me, it’s the Submarine Dressing that kicks up all those Italian meats and cheeses as they nestle into crusty Italian sub rolls.
