With Labor Day behind us we’re reaching the end of summer, and although everyone marks that specific date as the end of the season, we actually still have a few more weeks of summer left! Until September 23rd to be exact. That means we don’t have to start adding pumpkin spice to everything, just yet. Hold off on setting out those Halloween decorations and why not join me in celebrating these last two weeks by hosting a “I Don’t Want Summer to End” party with your family and friends. Have one more final BBQ or potluck outside and squeeze out every last drop of the season. I’m teaming up with my friends over at Crate and Barrel to bring you this recipe for Grilled Mediterranean Pizzas! It’s the perfect late summer entertaining recipe. I also wanted to showcase Crate and Barrel’s new and exclusive KitchenAid Stand Mixer in the beautiful Shaded Palm color. It adds a nice touch to any kitchen. In honor of this new release, I’m hosting a Giveaway over on my Instagram account for a chance to win one of these KitchenAid mixers of your very own. Follow along there to get all the details on how to enter! In the meantime, let’s talk about pizza—one of my favorite topics!

Falafel Burgers

September 6, 2019

The last time I shared a falafel recipe on this blog it was those incredible Falafel Waffles, from a couple years ago, with a tasty Mediterranean slaw that I could literally eat on anything and everything. I still can. (Speaking of which, that same slaw would be great in this recipe). I didn’t think I’d ever make another falafel recipe that would blow me away as much as those waffles did. That was until today, and now I’m sharing these Falafel Burgers with the exact same amount of enthusiasm as I did all those years ago. It wasn’t that long ago, but you get the picture. I don’t eat a lot of vegetarian meals usually but when I do, I like them to be exactly like these burgers; packed with flavor and incredibly filling.

Mexican Street Corn Nachos

August 30, 2019

I’ve just about Mexican Street Corn-ed everything I could possibly think of on this site, and just when I thought I had nothing else to give, these Mexican Street Corn Nachos came to mind. Some of my past favorites have been corn dogs, twice baked potatoes and flatbread, to name a few. Now these nachos have taken over the title of my new favorite version of such a classic dish. It also happens to be a great end-of-summer Labor Day recipe, one that I hope you’ll all give a try this weekend. It’s the perfect vegetarian recipe because it’s filling and packed with so much flavor, you don’t even miss the meat!

Crispy Chickpea and Radish Salad

August 2, 2019

I don’t have enough salad recipes on the blog. I hope that it’s not because I don’t eat that much salad, but in reality, it’s because I find salads so easy to make that they normally don’t require recipes at all. I have to admit that I’m a large consumer of those bagged salad kits. I’m not sure if they’re entirely all that healthy for you or not, but we can’t argue that they aren’t convenient. The best thing about salads is that you can really just construct one with a lettuce base and then work your way from there, really throwing in whatever you have on hand. They’re no going wrong. And even though I prefer my salads in the form of bacon cheeseburgers, I will say that every now and then I do crazy something reality healthy. I’m not a complete monster. This Crispy Chickpea and Radish salad is hearty enough where you’d think you’re indulging, but still loaded with vegetables so you know you’re doing something right for your body. It’s a great summertime side dish or perfect picnic or potluck tagalong. Give it a try soon!

Italian Street Corn 2 Ways

July 9, 2019

It seems like everywhere you turn these days there are a million variations on Mexican street corn. Just on this blog you can find it on top of corn dogs, on a flatbread and on twice baked potatoes. I think it’s safe to say that it’s one of my favorite flavor combinations. With that being said, however, I think it’s high time for this classic dish to get a makeover. Italian Street Corn 2 Ways is a great way to switch up that dish that we all can’t seem to get enough of. One version is a parmesan pesto variation, homemade with homemade pesto and seasoned with Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes. The second is a cacio e pepe version that just so happens to be my personal favorite, but then again, I’ll always say yes to anything cacio e pepe. These are a great summer snack, appetizer or side dish!

Easy Loaded Egg Toast

April 26, 2019

On this week’s episode of Married and Hungry, Julian teaches me how he used to make his scrambled eggs….by cooking them in water. It’s quite the sight to see and one that I can’t even fully describe to you, and so the only way to fully do it justice, is if you go watch the episode for yourself! Once I got over that shock though, I taught him how to properly cook scrambled eggs, which might seem a bit trivial, but I’ve realized throughout the years that a lot of people might not know how to properly cook eggs. I mean, my husband has gone 32 years without knowing. Because I value you all too much to just give you a recipe on scrambled eggs, I decided to pile the eggs on avocado toast and top them with so many delicious toppings. This Easy Loaded Egg Toast is the simplest breakfast you’ll ever make, and it just might be the tastiest.
