In this week’s produce coop delivery, we received collard greens and kale, so I decided to make them Southern style, slow cooked with pork bones. While I did not have a ham hock for a truly authentic dish, I had bones from on the bone pork chops that I had cut off the bone for […]

It is a perfect well-rounded one dish meal because it combines protein, vegetables, starch, and dairy. These stuffed peppers include many hidden veggies and lean ground turkey or chicken. If you […]

As the one year anniversary of the Game of Thrones finale was this week, I felt inspired to honor one of the show’s top-rated episodes (you know, unlike the finale) with this delicious summer salad. The roasted beets combine well with the balsamic vinegar and sweet strawberries. It is truly a red salad as the […]

With no added sugar, this pie is a healthy treat to bring to a Memorial Day BBQ. This “no bake” treat is refreshing on a hot, summer day. If we weren’t in quarantine, I would have made it as a Red, White, and Blue Pie, by simply replacing half of the strawberries with blueberries.
