Corn and Zucchini Pasta Alfredo is the absolute perfect way to make an easy weeknight pasta dish shine with the best of the summer vegetables. It can easily be made with leftover zucchini and corn from a previous meal, or made fresh (like I did!) with freshly grilled zucchini and…

This Burger with Fig and Goat Cheese is such a simple and delicious way to elevate your normal backyard burger with very minimal effort. (And with a toddler running around creating chaos and destruction in his wake, this is what I’m ALL about these days). I can’t take full credit…

It has been hot hot HOT in San Diego the past few weeks. And when its hot, I grill. I grill things like these Grilled Shrimp with Sundried Tomato Gremolata. I actually didn’t own a grill until a year ago – can you believe that? Dave and I had just…

So because I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath to see just what was going to happen with the Green Goddress Dressing I posted last week… behold: The BLT Salad. Yes, you read that correctly. Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato. In salad form. Seriously, could anything be more classic and…

I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve gone for years without a solid Chana Masala recipe. I’ve had an ok-ish recipe in my repertoire that I’ve made a few times, but it’s reliant on canned tomatoes and it just doesn’t hit that oh-so-perfectly balanced spot of sweet, salty, and sour. It…
