This may be controversial, but I’ve decided that beet hummus is far superior to regular hummus. I mean, look at that color! I have been buying beet hummus from a dip vendor at the farmer’s market, and I decided that I could easily (and more cheaply) make my own. All I needed was a can...

If you’re like me, you’re constantly trying to feed your family new foods with the hope that they’ll love them and you can add them to your meal rotation. Most of my attempts result in an “eh, it’s good but not great” response from my semi-picky family. But this time I hit a home run with...

Spring Salad with Apple Shallot Vinaigrette

If you search the Internet for Easter recipes, the results will undoubtedly be sugar-laden treats full of artificial dyes. But why is this the case? Why must we celebrate every holiday with ungodly amounts of sugar and fake ingredients? To counter the Easter junk food, I created a colorful spring salad that would make a...

Creamy Kale Salad

I’ve been craving kale salads lately, so I decided to share my favorite kale salad recipe. I’ve been making it for years, so I’m not exactly sure where I found it. And don’t let the name fool you — it doesn’t actually contain any cream! The creaminess of the dressing comes from ripe avocado, and...

Caraway Beet Soup

I’ll admit, up until a couple of years ago I did not like beets. Whenever I tried them, I thought they tasted like dirt. I’ve since decided that the reason for this is that I was eating, well, dirt. But then I tried roasted (dirtless) beets, and I loved them! The key is peeling the...

Fall Gardening

When David and I bought our house in the fall of 2013, I was ecstatic to find that the previous owners had built six raised beds in the back yard. I immediately researched composting and asked for a composting barrel for Christmas. That following summer I enjoyed three different types of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and...
