If there is one marinade you need for summer, it’s this one. When I am having people over for a barbecue, this is one of the recipes I turn to. It’s quick to throw together, packed with tart, salty, sweet, COMPLEX flavor and does all…
Ranch dressing… it has a reputation.
It’s widely loved, and understandably. It’s creamy, savory, and really flavorful. Some people even put it on their pizza, though that’s a contentious debate I don’t have time to weigh in on here.
My husband loves ranch dressing, but I don’t love the ingredients in most store bought versions. This scaled up version of ranch dressing is something I keep regularly stocked in our fridge to make us all happy.
Not only is it much healthier than the store bought version, but the miso paste adds a slight sweetness and umami that really takes it up a notch. It is a proud dip to serve for any summer barbecue or use year round with fresh cut veggies.
I have used unsweetened plain coconut yogurt in this dip (you cannot taste any coconut, I swear) to make it dairy free. You can use any Greek or plain yogurt you’d like as well.
If you want to make this dip vegan, simply swap in Veganaise for the mayonnaise called for.
If you make this Miso Ranch Dip, and I hope you do, i want to hear from you! send me a message on instagram, or post a photo to your stories and tag me so I can share your creations. enjoy!
Oh, this pasta. This. Pasta. This is exactly the pasta I want to eat in the summer when produce is at its peak and the days are long and hot. This Creamed Corn Pasta with Zucchini is loaded with vegetables and has a delicious sauce…
Peach season is here, and to me that means peach salads, jams, cobbler, and simple, summery cakes like this one. Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. this might be in part to their elusiveness. they are in season for a mere month or two…
Know someone who doesn’t like Brussels sprouts? Let’s change their mind.
These Brussels are inspired by the famed Union Square Cafe in New York City, and they are SO delicious. They are sliced thin (I use a mandolin for this) and tossed with lemon, fragrant onion and garlic, and poppy seeds for a unique take on this controversial vegetable. They are light, bright, and perfect for summer.
I use a mandolin to shave my Brussels, but a sharp knife or food processor works as well.
The poppy seeds are more for texture and look than anything else, so if you don’t have any don’t let it stop you from making this recipe!
If you make this Brussels sprouts, and I hope you do, i want to hear from you! send me a message on instagram, or post a photo to your stories and tag me so I can share your creations. enjoy!
do you like key lime pie? do you like coconut cake? If you answer yes to both of those questions, then this is the cake for you. this cake has a dense, moist crumb with a hint of coconut and lime, and is topped with…
My husband declared this “Maybe the best salad I’ve ever made.” And I make a LOT of salads. Granted, it’s basically Mexican Street Corn in a bowl, and a popular dish in Mexico called Esquites. It is easy to make, filled with rich flavors that…
I love a good summer barbecue, don’t you? Here in New England, we wait months for the privilege of al fresco dining, and it’s a very welcome change each time the weather gets warmer.
As the name indicates, this coleslaw comes together VERY quickly. Not only that, it can and should be made a few hours ahead as they flavors meld with a bit of time in the fridge. It’s my kind of coleslaw, light and fresh with lots of bright flavor and crunch. This is not the goopy, beige stuff hidden away in the back of the refrigerated section of the supermarket. When I’m eating meaty ribs, or a juicy burger in the summertime, I want a slaw like this with it. It’s the perfect counter balance to your favorite summer barbecue main dishes.
If you make this coleslaw, I want to hear from you! Message me on Instagram, or share it there and tag me so I can see your creations. Enjoy, lovelies!
When it comes to making pies vs. making crumbles, I am firmly in the Team Crumble camp. This one is a lighter take on the baked fruit desserts we all love, gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free excluding the butter. I love eating…
It’s finally summer, which means less meals roasting in the oven and more of these light, refreshing suppers around here. This recipe is a perfect weeknight dinner, as the shrimp get a quick 30 minute marinade and then cook on the stovetop for under 5…
