Chimichurri Surf & Turf Kabobs
This time of the year, there’s nothing better than grilling with a beer in your hand! The best recipes are the easiest ones, so they don’t distract from playing lawn games, enjoying company, and of course, sipping that beer. That’s what makes chimichurri such an awesome sauce. You can whip it up in a food processor in no time flat, and I usually have enough herbs lying around to make it without going to the store. This sauce tastes grea... Read More

Caprese Tomato Soup

Caprese Tomato Soup
I can’t even fully explain to you how much I love this soup. I mean…Caprese Tomato Soup? Are you kidding me? How could a soup possibly be more delicious? Maybe if it had bacon in it, BUT STILL. Even without it, it’s just so dang good. You know what I really love about this soup, though? Besides its tasty tastiness, it’s a cinch to throw together, as most summer recipes should be – so we can spend more time outdoors and not hovering... Read More
Grilled Zucchini Ribbon and Kale Salad
Oh, kale. Oh how I dig you so. And zucchini, oh how I wish we could ride off together into the sunset. Just the two of us. But we should invite the kale along too, because remember how I just said I dig it so? I do. I do dig it so. And if there's room, would it be okay to invite some blue cheese crumbles along? Because you know cheese is my ultimate weakness and I'd wither away within moments without it. You know this, yes? Could it come a... Read More

Korean Scallion Pancakes

Korean Scallion Pancakes
Scallion pancakes have always been my favorite appetizer at any Asian restaurant. They’re slightly different at a Vietnamese place, compared to Korean, Chinese, or even Thai. Sometimes I feel like they even differ at every single restaurant! But they always have that super salty dipping sauce. If I had to choose, I would say these Scallion Pancakes are closest to the Korean version. With this fun shortcut, these Scallion Pancakes are quick... Read More

Fish Tacos with Chimichurri Sauce
Something seems fishy. I mean taco-y. I mean fishy. I mean fish taco-y. I know I'm 300% accurate when I say THE ENTIRE WORLD LOVES TACOS. Don't try to argue with me.

Homemade Bacon-Infused Marshmallows
S’mores are my all-time favorite dessert. They’re only a few bites, perfectly balanced, interactive, and best of all – completely delicious. I’ve tried to improve upon the classic graham, chocolate, and burnt marshmallow equation with things like peanut butter, caramel, and ice cream, but nothing beat the original. Until now, I thought it was impossible to improve a classic s’more. That’s because until now, I had never put baco... Read More

6 Great Veggies to Grill
Is there anything better than lighting up the grill, tossing on some nice fresh food, and spending time with friends and family? I’m not sure there is. It’s absolutely one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy afternoon in the summer. If you grill a lot though, you might find it fun to change it up from standard grill items like burgers and hot dogs. I have a big list of vegetables that I love to grill. Grilling them is actually fairly s... Read More

Get excited, people: I’ve found a way to eat grilled cheese for DESSERT. It’s called Strawberry Grilled Cheese with Salted Caramel, and it’s going to rock your socks!

This recipe definitely still fits the bill, but instead of savory ingredients we’ve used sweet on... Read More

Rhubarb Shortcakes

Rhubarb Shortcakes
No dessert says summer more than shortcake. Now, while most people think of strawberry shortcake, I’m going a slightly different route with another summer staple: rhubarb. Roasted Rhubarb Shortcake, to be exact. Growing up, my family was divided over what made shortcake a shortcake. My dad and brothers really liked the spongy disc-like shortcakes, while my mom and I preferred the biscuit type. My mom always made them with Bisquick and thatâ... Read More
