In addition to eating it old-school, we like to slice the roasted corn off the cob and combine it with other summer vegetables to make a delightful Fresh Corn Salad, served with other summer favorites like “drunken” Borracho Beans or Easy Pesto Pasta Salad.

I use my outdoor grill but you can bake the foil packets in your oven if you don’t have a grill....

Easy Grilled Chicken Recipe There’s nothing like the taste of grilled chicken in the summer. Tender, so juicy, and full of flavor.

For the parents who are taking little ones out like I am, I hope you have a magical time with your kids! And for those of you who are skipping all the festivities or staying home to pass out candy, I hope you enjoy that too! Remember the other day when I mentioned I was recognized by a reader in the supermarket parking lot? Well, I had to go to the store to grab a bag of Halloween candy for any trick-or-treaters we may get....
Skylar made this for Scott at preschool. Her handprints that are cut out and attached to a cup. Which is a pen holder for Scott’s desk. He loved it! I still love what she made me for Mother’s Day so much that I still have it displayed. And I just went back and read the motherhood reflections that I wrote in that post. Some deep thoughts. I mentioned in my last post that I was a Busy Baker and was using up some odds and ends in a dessert....

comment icon 42 more comments Breakfast on the go is not really my thing, you guys. I’ve always been the kind of person who would forgo blow drying their hair before work in exchange for a full, warm, sit-down breakfast. At the very least, toast with peanut butter and banana and some jam, with a side of coffee. And yogurt, and a few bites of last night’s noodles. Eew, I’m gross....
comment icon 46 more comments It’s this. It’s Hot Honey Salmon. And it’s here for us because this is the SOS series, and fancy-but-not-actually-fancy is the vibe we aspire to. This is a spicy-sweet little number (hello, “hot honey”) and it gets its name from the sauce that gets brushed over the whole thing, which is grainy from the mustard and flecks of fresh garlic, sweet and sticky from the honey, and a little, medium, or LOT hot from however many red pepper flakes you wanna throw in there....
comment icon 103 more comments To be honest, I have very few “house favorites” in our house because I always change it up. Always trying new recipes, always moving on to the next thing. We hardly stay on any one recipe for more than just a few repeats because new! exciting! rah rah rah. But this recipe has been made WEEKLY for… um, the last five months? It has solidly earned its House Favorite status....
Cast iron skillets are one of our absolute favorite pans to cook with when we’re in the kitchen. They’re affordable, they can be used for nearly any recipe, they’re kitchen powerhouses that last FOREVER, and you don’t have to worry about any weird chemicals getting into your food from using the pan (in fact, it can even ADD nutrients to your food!).

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to this wonderfully creamy, silky, and buttery vegan mac and cheese that is totally delicious and completely nut-free! This is such a fun and supremely yummy recipe – I love it so much. comment icon 64 more comments Some vegan mac and cheeses involve boiling and puréeing sauces. Some use nuts (like raw cashews) to create the creaminess. But this one has no puréeing, no nuts, and comes together in a very Easy Mac type of way: a “cheeze” powder with the best cheesy flavor whisked into the plant milk of your choice to create a silky vegan cheese sauce, poured over macaroni noodles, and mixed all together with a knob of vegan butter....
comment icon 88 more comments Just like that, the inner goddess is back. Last time she brought desserts, and this time she’s taken the form of vibrant mango raspberry breakfast bowls loaded with glow-worthy nutritious ingredients and topped with everything beautiful and nice, including but not limited to your last crumbs of Coconut Oil Granola. I am not mad about seeing this in front of me at breakfast. The timing of this post feels very appropriate because I am basically dying for a boost of these inner goddess healing powers after the last few days of living up The Sick Life On The Couch....
Instant Pot Refried Beans Recipe I love beans of all kind from garbanzo to black beans to pinto beans that become refried beans. Beans you cook yourself from dry beans are wonderful and do have better texture and flavor than canned beans. I am not opposed to canned beans and have tons of recipes to make with a can of beans! But for a little bit of extra effort, if you make scratch beans you will fall in love....
Pappa al pomodoro hails from the Tuscany region of Italy and is especially popular and fiercely claimed in Florence and Siena. It essentially translates to “tomato mush” and depending on where you have it and who is making it, it can range in texture from more of a porridge to a slightly thinner soup or stew consistency like we have here. But any way you have it, it is definitely all the yum....
