In a summer filled with spicy brats, peppered sausages, and fiery burgers, a crunchy-sweet slaw might just be what you are looking for when it comes to topping those lovely, heat-filled treats.
The last thing most people are craving this time of the year is soup, which is a shame since some of my favorite vegetarian soups are most delicious when made with vegetables at the peak of their season. Get my all-time favorite and enjoy fresh or, if summer soup just doesn't appeal, pop it in the freezer for enjoy in fall or winter.
We're entering what is often lovingly referred to as the dog days of summer — that time when it seems like the only way to combat the heat is to lay around and pant like a pooch. But I prefer to call them salad days and fight heat and boredom with one gorgeous salad!
Sometimes you find a creative side dish that's simple, delicious, and actually works well for all kinds of meals ranging from a traditional breakfast to a backyard barbecue. Guess what's lurking in this post?
Summer is about taking it slow, but schedules still get busy and if that's going to happen, dinner needs to be quick and easy at least some of the time. Get a fantastic summer salad that fits the bill and is healthy and enough to make your mouth water.
There's something so very satisfying about being able to layer items in a big pan, give it about an hour in the oven, and have dinner ready. It seems almost like cheating, but I prefer to call it finding creative ways to cook!
Sometimes, the generosity of others coincides with very special leftovers. It's times like those that your kitchen and your dinner table become places that are nearly sacred and share meals that will have everyone giving thanks.
This time of the year, dinner can be as easy as grabbing a pile of fresh herbs, blending them with a couple of pantry items on hand, and tossing it with freshly-cooked noodles. Green can be so easy in the midst of the harvest!
As the warm weather of summer gives way to the cool kiss of fall, we're lucky enough to have a generous harvest offering to fill our dinner tables. Take advantage of the weather and the bounty and put together an inspired pot of soup.
When gardens and farm stands everywhere are putting fresh produce before you, it's time to enjoy it splendidly. Do just that with some delightful fritters brimming with tender sweet corn and spicy peppers.
