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. Continue reading »

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 »

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. Continue reading »

Baked Sweet Potato {with Steamed Asparagus, Goat Cheese & Fried Egg}
While many people enjoy hash browns or home fries for breakfast, we typically don’t think of a baked potato as a go-to morning meal. I’m here to tell you this dish has everything you need (with the exception of a side of bacon) and weighs in at under 250 calories. Continue reading »

Savory Veggie & Herb Egg White Taquitos. And Sunday Brunch or Monday lunch, straight from ingredients already in our fridge and pantry.
Typically when I think of ‘Wraps’ I think of a sandwich alternative that consists of meats, cheeses or veggies that are rolled up into a convenient handheld package. Taquitos are that kind of wonderful. Continue reading »

Blueberry Goat Cheese Crostini {with Honey & Lemon}

That’s exactly how I’ve been enjoying my salads lately…with assorted berries, nuts & cheeses. Last week when I got to the end of several of my salad ingredients I was left with spinach, blueberries, and a bit of goat cheese. I drizzled that with balsamic vinaigrette and discovered my favorite salad of the summer. Continue reading »
