As the weather gets warm each year, a crisp cold salad feels supremely refreshing. At our house this spring/summer of 2022, we owned the tradition of the Wedge Salad. Serving this many times and looking forward expanding it’s possibilities each time with the changing seasons. Typically iceberg lettuce is not our go to for salads,…

Strawberry Tomato Salsa
This was the first meal invented from the 2021 CSA and it started the season off right. So, very ripe strawberries paired with equally vibrant tomatoes created a sweet, but savory topping for grilled balsamic marinaded chicken. I’m not sure if it was the long winter, the anticipation of fresh local produce or just the…
Citrus and Burrata Salad
This salad is what I think of whenever I see Burratta cheese. Burratta is one of my favorite, if not the best cheese in the world! I know that’s a bold statement, especially from someone originally native to Wisconsin, who grew up on standard cheddar and American cheese. If you haven’t had burratta, find yourself…
Hawaiian Cole Slaw
Here’s the thing with cole slaw – when I hear that there will be cole slaw on the menu, I get images of soupy, creamy, standard mayo based…maybe too sweet, or in general, ‘I’m not sure if I want to order this because I’m not sure what I am going to get’ cole slaw. This…
Three Bean Vinegrette Salad
Lunches during the workday can be a challenge for me…I don’t want to order in and I don’t want the same thing every day, but at 6:30 in the morning, if I haven’t planned ahead, it is going to be one of those two options. That is why I like this recipe. The salad is…
Sriracha Lime Chopped Chicken Salad
There is something truly fun about living in the midwest – when the seasons start to change, the weather releases the last bit of over night frost and SUMMER has arrived! Grilling becomes second nature during these months. I’m often envious of those who have outdoor kitchens in warm climates who can grill and entertain…
Artichoke, Olive & Feta Pasta Salad
This is my nod to desiring spring to be here soon. Looking for light and fun things to make that will help along a warmer season. I know that it isn’t spring yet because there is still snow on the ground and it is much colder outside than you would think by looking at the…
Summer Pasta Salad
This is a recipe that came not from entertaining others, but more in trying to find something different for lunches during the work week. Believe it or not, I actually take frozen meals for lunch. They are just easy, but I’m not really a fan of them. My typical other options would be leftovers of…
Honey Soy Porkchops with Light Salad
There is nothing better than cooking a great meal for family and everyone REALLY enjoying it. Could’ve been that it was a great summer evening as well. This meal was simple to put together and great to present. It was one of the few times I was cooking with the other white meat (pork),…
Spicy Raspberry Steak Salad
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the temperatures are slowly but surely on the rise. What does this mean??? It means that salad season is upon us and it’s time to fully bust out that grill. This recipe allows for both grilling and enjoying the freshness of summer vegetables. I can’t wait to…
