Cucumber, Corn and Avocado Salad
A cold, satisfying, fruit-and-veggie salad is just perfect for the summer! We JUST got done with a mad crazy heat wave that sent me spiraling on an “eat only the cold things!” spell, with a touch of “eat only the things I don’t have to turn on stoves or oven for!”Something about chilled refreshing cucumbers […]

Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce
A weekend conversation between me and Preston: P: will you still love me if I go Paleo? I guess that’s kind of as opposite as our diets can get… Me: no, we’d both eat a ton of vegetables. You do realize doing Paleo well means you’ll actually have to eat a lot of vegetables, right? […]

Simple Spicy Orange Stir Fry
Oh man, this stir fry is a winner! I’ve made a fairly elaborate orange stir fry before, which I certainly like. But lately (especially while my pantry is packed away and I’m cooking at other people’s homes), simplicity trumps all.

Cold-Brew Kahlua Cafe Au Lait
Guys, it is HOT outside. I picked a horrible time to move, and have been sweating my butt off getting myself all packed and organized and moved out/in. When it finally was almost done and I had one more quick handful to bring up to Preston’s from my car, Preston offered coffee. Yes, sounds perfect. […]
