Easy Gazpacho
This is my go-to recipe for delicious and satisfying gazpacho. And now that we are in peak tomato season, it’s an easy meal, despite what might appear like a long and arduous process — it is not! Read it thru a few times, make it once, and you will see how simple it is. The recipe serves 4-6 and hails from the website www.thekitchn.com. Do try it, please. (more…)
Grilled Salmon “Sandwich” with Greens Marinade
This is a fantastic summer dish that requires a bit of planning ahead, but not a lot of cook time. Grilled salmon doesn’t need much. Make sure that it is coated thoroughly in the marinade so that it doesn’t stick to the grill. (more…)

Bacon and Egg Coconut Flour Muffins
Found on thecoconutmama.com food blog, these bacon and egg coconut flour muffins are easy to make and are wonderful high protein breakfast option. I make a few batches of these every month so my family has a healthy, protein rich, quick breakfast option on hand. They freeze well too!
This recipe is very flexible. You can omit the sour cream if you don’t have any on hand. The sour cream makes these muffins a little less dense and more fluffy. You can also swap sausage or steak in place of the bacon if you prefer. (more…)
Chocolate Chip Squash Bread
From the Eva Bakes food blog, here’s a yummy spiced bread made with butternut squash. You can substitute other similar winter squash for the butternut (e.g. pumpkin or buttercup), and since you’ll probably have more than 1 cup of squash purée, you’ll be able to make several loaves (they freeze well too). Yields one 9″x5″ loaf. (more…)
Glazed Carrots Marsala
For a real treat of a side dish, try Glazed Carrots Marsala. I first read about this flavor combination in Elizabeth David’s Italian Food. As she suggests, they’re delicious served with lamb. If you don’t have Marsala, sweet sherry is a fine substitute. (more…)
Italian Sausage and Squash Soup
