Fresh kale combined with zesty citrus make for a refreshing salad on a hot, summer night. This is also a great make ahead recipe as the kale keeps its texture without wilting. I enjoyed this salad for lunch the next day. If you like my recipes, please subscribe below.

Pork, Fennel, White Bean, and Rainbow Swiss Chard Pot Pie
This recipe combines the concept of escarole and white beans in a chicken pot pie vessel. Usually the escarole is combined with sausage, but I saved the calories and added the flavor of sausage by using farm-fresh fennel. I also had a bunch of rainbow Swiss Chard, so instead of using spinach or escarole, I […]
Garlic Scape Compound Butter
If you have never had a garlic scape before, try to find some at a local farm in early summer. They are the tops of the garlic, but they have a mild flavor that is a cross between a scallion, chive, and mild garlic. In my farm coop delivery this week, I received my second […]

Strawberry Cheesecake
Farm fresh strawberries that we picked ourselves this afternoon were a delicious addition to this cheesecake I made earlier in the day in honor of Father’s Day. Nothing says love more than this cake since the sliced red strawberries look like hearts! And Dad will love that this cheesecake is lighter than the full-fat version.

Carrot Banana Muffins
You won’t miss the refined sugar in these moist, delicious muffins. Today my goddaughter got engaged! We were invited over for a socially distanced BBQ to celebrate. I was running low on time, so I decided these homemade treats would be a welcome addition to the party.
