Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart
Asparagus lined one side of my grandfather Boppy’s garden, the only barrier between me and the glorious blueberry bushes. It seemed with each days passing it grew a foot taller. It’s feathering shoots locked hands making it nearly impossible to pass through. I had no use for it when I was eight.

This Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake was born out of ingredients already on hand. It’s loaded with veggies and I promise you even the youngest members of the family will love this dish. Butternut squash, fresh mushrooms & spinach, an open box of pasta and the end of a hunk of cheddar cheese came together in a snap.

Savory Veggie & Herb Egg White Taquitos. And Sunday Brunch or Monday lunch, straight from ingredients already in our fridge and pantry.

I drizzled that with balsamic vinaigrette and discovered my favorite salad of the summer.
