Sweet Potato Fries
These are great for Summer cookouts! -ed We weren’t always fans of sweet potatoes in this house, but that wasn’t the fault of the sweet potato – it was ignorance on our part. Our only knowledge of this orange potato was the mashed and topped with marshmallows version served as a Thanksgiving casserole. Not that I’m judging! It just seemed like a waste of marshmallows ya know? So b…
Cucumber & Tomato Summer Salad
Editor’s Note: Republished for our Summer recipe series! This salad is one of my favorites for the Summer, when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in abundance, but it’s great anytime you can get the ingredients and need a reminder of summer!

Last year I decided to find a recipe to duplicate the dish and perfe…

The Brown Eyed Baker shares her recipe for doing onion rings, without a big ol pan of hot oil. So clever! I adore onion rings. Love them, really. Although I hardly ever order them in place of French fries, I jump at the chance to get them as an appetizer. And now that Lent has rolled in and fi…
Brussels Sprout
Wow – do Brussels Sprout have a bad rap. Never has there been a vegetable so maligned without basis. Foolish person (aka my husband): “Like, OMG Brussels Sprouts are like, so gross!” Me: “Have you ever had one before?” Foolish person: “No. I don’t need to have one to know how much I hate it!” By the way – for years I was the Foolish Person. I ha…
