Grilled Corn, Tomato and Jalapeno Salad

Corn is the epitome of summer. And if you are attending a BBQ, you can pretty much guarantee there will be corn. I definitely will admit that plain buttered corn, kind of bores me. Don’t get me wrong it is delicious, but the sweet, crisp kernels beg to be tossed in a salad. This Grilled...

We have another recipe to help you use all those apples you see in the grocery store or that you picked at the orchard! I love that this is a nontraditional way to use apples.

Green Veggie Quinoa Salad

Dominique — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:00:05 +0000

We have another lunch for your work week, Green Quinoa Salad! Normally, for lunches we tried to do something vegetarian. It can be hard to eat a vegetarian salad for lunch and it still be filling. Not this salad! I have found that adding enough vegetables and some sort of grain does the trick. I...

This Persian Cheese plate (sabzi khordan) is simple, yet fancy enough for entertaining. It’s not a secret that we have admiration for the food of different cultures. This Persian cheese plate is definitely an embodiment of why. The ingredients are simple and sound a little unusual together, but they are magic when combined. An old...
