Saltine-Crusted Fried Green Tomatoes
It’s the beginning of tomato season here, which means: grab some not-yet-ripe tomatoes and get them fried! 🙂 Tomatoes are the last food left on my “Learn to Like” checklist. (Well, second to last just above eggplant. Bleh.) I am just not generally a fan, unless there are teeny amounts of small-diced pieces or unless…

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…

Papaya + Berries for Breakfast In Bed
This breakfast has a very specific purpose: fast breakfast so I have more time to stay in bed with my electric blanket on these cold mornings. Confession: lately the number of days when I can only get myself up in time to throw my hair up, do some minimal makeup, and get out the door…

Brown Sugar & Spice Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Quickie post with my sweet potato recipe from my friends Thanksgiving. Simple and yummy! I really wanted to make sage-spiced sweet potato rounds, but couldn’t find ground sage! So frustrating.
