As I explained in my last post, I’m posting a few of my archived summer recipes. Besides, with the days getting shorter, maybe some summery food is what we need. I had been making Caprese salads over the summer when I ran out of tomatoes. I swapped for some strawberries I had in the fridge…

Dried Fruit Granola
So easy to make and it will fill your house with a delicious comforting smell as it cooks. Made these for friends for Christmas and had everyone asking for the recipe. This recipe was based off a New York Times Cooking recipe but I’ve made changes based on personal preference.
Pesto Balsamic Caprese Salad
This is a super quick salad to whip together for a midday snack or before dinner. It’s so easy but so yummy! Can’t wait to make more of these this summer with some fresh basil.
Sweet & Savory Croissant Roll-Ups
Super easy treat for a morning or late night snack. Roll up the crescent roll dough with your favorite combinations and bake!
Lettuce Wraps
I’ve always been a big fan of PF Chang’s and California Pizza Kitchen’s lettuce wrap appetizers, so I decided to have a go at making it at home.

You can serve as an appetizer, but it’s also filling…
Honey Ginger Glazed Carrots
An easy way to up the ante on your vegetable side dish, these honey ginger glazed carrots were practically dessert. We bought a bag of misfit carrots from our local winter food hub, a virtual store of local farmers’ produce with a contactless pick-up location. This is a great option, if available to you, to…
Old Bay Wings
Continuing the recent theme of game day snacks, this is my go-to Super Bowl contribution (especially as typically the designated Marylander in the room). They have just the right amount of spice that everyone in the room can enjoy them. They’re also addicting…so be sure to make plenty!
Buffalo Cauliflower Poppers
Make your game day Buffalo chicken poppers vegetarian and vegan (this version of the recipe doesn’t use eggs)! I used purple cauliflower for this one (see my last post for a very purple meal).
Caprese Avocado Toast
May be basic but nonetheless delicious. Easy to assemble for a quick and healthy lunch on a work day.
Roasted Potatoes & Chili Lime Dip
Great as side dish or treat it as the main dish and serve with a side vegetable such as broccoli or asparagus. The spicy and savory dip is what makes this! 😋
