You may remember that I picked 20 pounds of peaches last weekend. Yes, it may have been a bit excessive on my part, but deep down, I enjoy a bit of excessiveness in the kitchen... Especially when it comes to fresh, local produce! I knew that if I ...

Kitchen Bootcamp Roundup – Salads
It's that time again... Time to showcase everyone's hard work for this month's Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I am so thrilled that so many of you took the time to participate and cook along side of me, especially because I rushed this challenge a bit to get it in by ...
Peanut Dressing (Kitchen Bootcamp)
My hubby and I often go out for lunch on Sunday when we're on our way home from church. Last week we both ended up ordering salads... He ordered a mandarin chicken salad and I had a sesame "chop chop" chicken salad. We both really enjoyed the salads, so ...
Teriyaki Turkey Burgers
As promised, here is my recipe for teriyaki turkey burgers! Once you have made my homemade chunky teriyaki sauce, they are really quite simple... But, they don't taste simple, at all. Don't you love dishes like that? I know I do! I made these burgers the first time we ...

Gingerbread Cookies… My Favorite!
For me, it's just not Christmas without gingerbread cookies... Don't get me wrong - all of the other cookies are great, but they just aren't the same! I've been making the same gingerbread recipe since I was a kid and I made these with my mom. They puff up beautifully, making ...
Chicken and Snow Peas Stir Fry
Our CSA has ended for the year, and that makes me sad. It has actually been a bit of an adjustment for me because I got out of the habit of grocery shopping every week. I was enjoying getting a nice big box of fresh, organic veggies each week! ...
