Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies
I’m so happy this time of year. There’s something so beautiful about fresh from the garden veggies and herbs. Throughout this past winter and spring we’ve been enjoying Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes. Why not show our baby squash and spring onions the same kind of love?! Continue reading »

In fact if you arrive near the close of the market, which means the ‘prettiest’ veggies will have been picked over, you’ll often find farmers willing to let their remaining produce go at a reduced price. Perfect for making a giant batch of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup which allows you to {Share the Love}. Continue reading »

I was working hard to use ingredients already on hand. I may be a bit out of control. Pantry and freezer doors are…busting. So I went on offense and typed pita, lettuce, mint, tomato into my search engine field.

Perhaps the dish I remember most from my childhood is Beefaroni. Not the canned type, but Homemade Beefaroni, that I think we had every week. It’s affordable, easy to prepare, family friendly, and so delicious. For that reason I consider this a comfort food recipe. Continue reading »
