Kale Salad with Lemon Dressing
I could live off salads. I am not kidding. I just love the variety you have when creating one- from the greens you use, to the add-ins and dressing. There is no reason to be eating boring ol’ tossed salads all the time. Let’s get creative! First off, kale isn’t my typical green for a…
Butternut Squash Stuffing
Yesterday I kicked my kids out of the house (with their Dad of course) so that I could watch Thanksgiving Live on the Food Network. I absolutely loved it last year and learned some great tips! It totally got me in the mood to cook and now I can’t wait to eat Thanksgiving dinner! I’am…

A Surprise From a Neighbor and Recipe for Spicy Gazpacho
I have wanted to make gazpacho all summer. It has been way to long since I made it last, but then fall arrived and I got over it. Then two things happened: we had a burst of lovely warm weather and our neighbors dropped off a gigantic basket full of vegetables from their garden (carrots,…
