This is the closest I have come to finding green eggs that are not just not off putting, but delicious. Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham” is all about trying new things, and discovering in the end that weird items can be pretty tasty. Eggs, avocado and tomatoes is one of my favorite quick meal combinations. Usually I slice it all up and throw it in a bowl but this is a nice, and surprisingly easy way to mix it up.

Potatoes are one of my absolute favorite foods and I find this to be one of the best ways to cook them. They stay soft and fluffy on the inside while getting crispy on the outside.

My brother and I threw this family dinner together because we have been wanting to try grilled peaches. There was one ominous fireball when he turned on the BBQ but at least we did not heat up the house with the oven. By the end of the summer I may overcome my fear of singeing off all my hair and start it myself, but for now I am lucky to have him as my sous chef… If you have not tried grilled peaches yet, I highly recommend them!

I generally prefer finger food, especially in the summer, so I like to make food that is socially acceptable to eat with my fingers. Fruit boats just don’t work any other way. This one makes a nice and quick, lazy option for a healthy dessert or small breakfast. Continue Reading →
A little bit Moroccan and a little bit Thai, this salad is light but filling. Continue Reading →
