Summer tomatoes are one of my favorite things. I love planting them in the beginning of the summer season and waiting patiently for them to be ready in late August. 

This teriyaki inspired glaze is not only good on potatoes but on pork loin as well! It is sticky, sweet, and addicting!

I think asparagus is perfect with some salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. As grilling season approaches adding a creamy caesar dressing to your grilled asparagus or any vegetables will always be a welcomed twist!

These easy to make polenta rounds make perfect party appetizers. Easy for entertaining!

When I roast any kind of vegetable my go to is always salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic. It is a combination that really is fail proof!

These Kale and Mushroom pockets are a lot like empanada’s. Anytime you can stuff pockets of dough with anything I think it is a winner.

Sauteed brussels sprouts with pancetta are the base for this fall inspired panzanella salad. Tossed with dried cranberries and carrots, this salad is as gorgeous as it is tasty.

As soon as the Halloween costume comes off the heavy holiday frenzy begins. I feel like I am thinking of what to bring to Thanksgiving all year round but for most people the panic usually sets in November 1st. 

Pierogies are perfect comfort food and are about to have their time to shine. People have been experimenting with different fillings, and they are starting to pop on many restaurant menus.

Tomatoes are one of my favorite things to eat and the season for them is just too short! I was inspired by a dish my friend made and was also looking for a way to spice a BLT sandwich.

Spinach is my quick go to for a green side dish. It is super good for you and a weeknight winner.

I am pretty obsessed with all things Burrata. I love homemade mozzarella and Burrata is like a creamier version of that. Almost like what melted chocolate is for chocolate, that is what Burrata is for mozzarella.

Fig season seems to last for only a minute. One day they are everywhere, the next you are left with just prosciutto with no fig for it to wrap around.

This is another one of my “single girl” meals. While Brian is away, which is 80% of the time, I can try some out some recipes he would not like. He is not the biggest fan of tomatoes, which breaks me Italian heart! 

Although my plans were to make pineapple salsa I chose to improvise. I chopped up half of what would have been pineapple salsa and sauteed it adding it to the black beans.

With the help of Philadelphia Cream Cheese I was able to craft some yummy recipes to share on brunch table this spring.

This is a wonderful dish to consider for those meatless Mondays! I am super proud of my healthy single girl meal!

This soup will remind you of a baked potato soup. But it is a sneaky lower-carb alternative!

Every new year many people start with resolutions. It is a time to reset and we set our minds to new routines. Keeping ourselves healthy is a must.

One of the best parts of the holiday season is sharing it with friends and family. It is the perfect time to express how thankful and appreciative you are to those in your life who matter most.
