    Pan Fried Smashed Potatoes

    A simple, quick recipe from Gourmet Magazine.  These are everything potatoes should be: crisp-skinned yet pillowy, sprinkled with a generous amount of salty parmesan.  They require no laborious peeling and are much easier to prepare than french fries.  Serves 4.

    Beet and Goat Cheese Hummus

    Beets are one of those veggies that are a bit scary, but versatile enough that you can sneak them into almost any other recipe to make things interesting (remember Beet Meatloaf?).  This recipe from abeautifulmess.com does exactly that, combining beets and goat cheese into a hummus recipe to make something completely new and fresh.

    Savory Melon Salad

    Melons can do more than dessert or smoothies!  Although there is a bit of cutting involved, this savory melon salad makes for a refreshing change from the traditional sautéed side dishes we whip up every day.  For added “savoriness,” add crumbled goat or feta cheese. This recipe makes 6 cups.

    Three Cheese Tomato Tart

    This recipe is basically a Southern spin on pizza (just add mayo.)  A flaky pie crust, a cheddar and mayonnaise blend, and juicy garden tomatoes.  Found on thekitchn.com food blog, this is one of those recipes that just takes you aback the first time you have a bite.  You just won’t believe how delicious (and easy) it is!
