Don’t you love dinner salads? And lunch salads? And salads in general? I have been really craving some salmon salad lately. So I made some. You should, too. That is all.
A few weeks ago, a friend told me about this amazing way to eat corn on the cob. At first, I was only half listening…unlike most people, I don’t get too excited when ears of corn start to overflow from farmer’s stands or grocery store aisles. It’s just corn. But, as she told me about […]
This is just the kind of quick meal I love to throw together when I’ve been having a busy day and I want to get dinner on the table without a lot of fuss. A tostada is kind of like a taco salad that you pick up and eat with your hands. It can be […]
Have you ever made your own taco seasoning? It’s kind of glorious. Yes, it’s true: I have a penchant for making things from scratch that I could easily have bought in the store…but in this case, I really do think it’s worth it.

I am willing to wager that it’s because you made it too complicated. And you didn’t use enough coconut. Coconut is the surprising key to […]
You know the phrase, “It’s the best thing since sliced bread”? This is the best thing since sliced bread. (And then, you can slice it and butter it…and the irony will only make it more delicious.) I can’t stop baking this peasant bread! I convinced myself a few weeks ago that it was worth it […]
