Don’t you just love this time of year? So many yummy veggies in season! I seem to put Vidalias in nearly everything. They’re so sweet, they don’t even need cooking most of the time. In fact, their flavor is so mild that they just disappear in some cooked dishes. So, on the tail ends of their…
Black Bean Veggie Spuds
It was Monday. We got home that Sunday night from a trip – well, when I say “Sunday night” I mean really early Monday morning. I think I fell asleep around 01:30, & got up at 06:00. Did I feel like cooking dinner? Not really. Did I feel like I needed to eat healthy? Oh,…
Dilly-Lemon Planked Salmon
This is a magnificent way to cook salmon. It’s truly scrumptious, quick, easy, healthy, & clean-up is a snap. Not even a mess to scrape off the grill! The skin sticks to the plank, so it’s even easy to serve. You do need a little lead time to soak the plank, but after that the recipe…

Easy Cucumber Salad
This has been a favorite in my family for as long as I can remember. My mom used to make it with red onions, but I prefer Vidalias. Either way, it’s fast, easy, & scrumptious! It’s best with young cukes with underdeveloped seed cavities, or with seedless cukes, but any will do. If the only…
Pork Scaloppine With Dilly Chickpeas
I wish I could take full credit for this recipe I adapted from Bevcooks. I never would have thought to make pesto from dill – it was delicious! My contribution was to up the flavor in the pork, which then melded beautifully with the dilly chickpeas. It’s well worth getting all your ingredients set before starting…
Grilled Mojito Chicken Thighs
Yesterday was Mojito night at our house. My spearmint plant is thriving, in spite of neglect, so I decided to use mint in everything I made for dinner – even the olive oil for the bread. Each use was a bit different, so each dish had its own flavor. The Strawberry Mojito Salad was an…
Strawberry Mojito Salad
This salad is amazing! I’m saying it serves 4, but the truth is that the 2 of us ate every last bit. The predominant flavor is strawberry, but with just enough other flavors to make this a side dish rather than a dessert. It all blends quite nicely, and is not at all spicy…
