This quick and easy Spicy Guacamole is perfect for snacking, topping your burgers, and possibly just eating with a spoon. My kids were pretty excited when I mixed up a batch this week. It’s been too long since we had guacamole in the house! Just in case you’re like me and lucky/unlucky enough to have accidentally ordered 10 avocados instead of 2, and they showed up at your door very very ripe, this recipe will hopefully help you use them up...
Pomegranate Guacamole is a spicy, creamy, fresh as can be guacamole that is likely to turn your idea of what guacamole is supposed to be completely upside down. If you are anything like me, you’re reading the title of this guacamole recipe and you’re likely about to scroll quickly past. But give me a quick moment to change your mind. A few years ago, we went out to dinner at a new to us restaurant, Barrio Queen. While there,...
Roasting is one of my favorite ways to prepare vegetables. It is so simple and the vegetables always turn out well with very little effort on my part. Tonight’s dinner was especially fun, because the squash was from our very own garden! This is the first year we have had a garden and has been exciting to watch our plants grow each day. The squash was our first harvest and it was delicious. I am looking forward to an awesome summer of...
I’ve wanted to try making risotto for quite a while. However, I kept forgetting to buy the Arborio rice. I finally just made it tonight with the Jasmine rice that I had in the house. It was excellent! I do plan to make it next time with the recommended rice and see what kind of difference it makes. This was truly delicious though. In the interest of honesty, I should confess that this was more effort than I would normally put into a side...
We had a great harvest from the garden this morning and I wanted a dish that would be a bit more substantial than simply sauteing or roasting, without being heavy or too filling. It was well over 100 degrees here today and a heavy dish just didn’t appeal. This was even better than I had hoped to find. My entire family ate this for dinner and really liked it. I am already looking forward to making this again with different...

My love for pattypan squash has reached an all new level. You might think I’d be tired of these squash by now, but I am still thrilled to have so many from our garden. We grilled these pattypan squash with the Ono and they were wonderful together. The squash texture was absolutely perfect. My only advice is to make sure that your slices are as even as possible. If your slices are not even, then the thinner portions will be...
The tomatoes are finally in abundance in my garden and I am so happy. When I saw the harvest this morning, I couldn’t imagine anything more perfect for dinner than a salad loaded with tomatoes. This is one of the most unique pasta shapes I’ve found to date. I am always looking for fun new varieties to try. What is your favorite pasta shape?
