We’re living our best lives this summer with all our favorite farmer’s market finds like fresh peaches, big juicy blackberries, and peppery arugula. This grilled peach salad highlights the natural sugars in peaches to create a caramelized, smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the slightly spicy arugula and other salad ingredients like tangy feta cheese, salty, crunchy pistachios, and a quick and simple vinaigrette dressing. This salad showcases the beauty of using fresh, high-quality ingredients....
These herbed chickpea burgers are so perfect for grilling season! They’re super easy to make, not fussy, noting too fancy, but sooo delicious! Just a good old fashioned veggie burger to sink your teeth into. All I want really! They’re also vegan (duh) and happen to be gluten free! I mean, until you stuff them into a wheat-filled burger bun like these vegan milk bread buns… so obviously use gluten free bread if that’s the case!...
French onion soup is a bistro favorite and one that I love to order when we go out to eat. Sometimes I’ll make it my lunch with a salad on the side, but other times it’s a great appetizer or side dish to a meal. I used to get it when we had a Mimi’s Cafe nearby, but that location closed so I learned to make it at home myself....

Veggie Nuggets I am a forever fan of using veggies in all of the ways–from super simple raw ones, to easy cooked vegetable recipes, to incorporating them into more complex recipes like this one—as a way to regularly expose the kids to lots of options. Because we really never know which ones will be their favorites until we give them a chance to try. These veggie nuggets have a similar texture to chicken nuggets, have boast a nice dose of vegetables, and include whole grains....

Take a closer look… Tender juicy chicken glistening with savory, salty, sweet and umami rich teriyaki sauce, smothered to perfection. Alongside this are bright, crunchy colorful veggies dressed in a nutty sesame oil dressing, kinda like Asian coleslaw. All this on a bed of hot rice… and yes, how can we forget that creamy avocado?

Even non-coconut lovers were proclaiming a change of heart over the delicious taste of these coconut cupcakes!...
This dip was created for the famous Blooming Onion and if you know, you know. But you can actually make it just as delicious in your own kitchen and pair it with these Crispy Fried Onion Strings, Sweet Potato Fries, or even these Oven Roasted Potato Wedges. Can we all agree that the Blooming Onion from Outback Steakhouse is one of the best recipes out there when it comes to appetizers and finger foods?...
I love an easy quick bread recipe, especially one that stores well for easy breakfasts and snacks. This version of my healthy Pumpkin Bread checks all the boxes. It is easy to stir together, makes good use of basic pantry staples, and has the flavors we love from both banana bread and pumpkin bread.

I get so many rave reviews from people who love this burnt almond cake, that I’ve adapted it into Burnt Almond Cupcakes per my San Jose born-and-raised husband’s request! There are two bakeries in San Jose, California that are well-known for the same burnt almond cake. Since my husband grew up in San Jose, his family’s loyalty is to Dick’s bakery. But there is a strong following for Peter’s Bakery, which is the other main contender for burnt almond cake supremacy in this sprawling Silicon Valley city....
There is nothing like homemade bread coming fresh and hot out of the oven. Be sure not to miss our other bread recipes like Roasted Garlic & Rosemary No Knead Artisan Bread, Homemade French Bread, and Easy Rosemary Focaccia Bread! Sweet Molasses Brown Bread Don’t get me wrong, when I say “sweet”, this isn’t a super sweet bread like a breakfast bread or dessert roll or something. It’s just a wonderful, mild sweetness from the molasses and a little honey....
