Natasha here! If you follow my blog at all, you know that I love eating seasonally. It’s something I have been growing in the more I learn about food. It’s hard to tell what’s in season when shopping at the local grocery stores, so I like to do a little internet research to find out or pop by our Saturday Farmer’s Market in town to see what’s out!
A refreshing, tasty, and interesting salad perfect for the summer
Ok so yes, this recipe is Mexican-inspired. And yes, yesterday was Cinco de Mayo. But who says you can’t post a Mexican-inspired recipe the day after Cinco de Mayo?
No one has told me not to, so I’m doing it. And I think you’ll be really happy.
This Jicama Salad is perfect for the warmer months to come. There’s no need to turn on your oven. You only need a little time to chop all your veggies.
I love poached eggs. However, this type of egg has not been seen much at my house because I have always been intimidated to make them. I always thought they were way more difficult than they were.
These photos are from my very first attempt at making a poached egg, and it turned out perfectly, and it was not difficult at all! I love a poached egg so much, and now I make them all the time. Poached eggs with bacon, poached eggs on asparagus, poached eggs with tomato and avocado, and of course, now I can make eggs benedict!
I’ve been on an orange and pistachio kick lately – two of my favorite flavors.
I firmly believe the old adage that we eat with our eyes first so I always pay special attention to presentation. I don’t like to serve anything that isn’t appealing to the eye.
Asparagus is a beautiful spring vegetable and one of the easiest side dishes to prepare. Pistachio Orange Asparagus takes my favorite roasted veggie to a whole new level. The orange juice and grated peel adds a refreshing citrus note and the intense flavor of the toasted pistachios combines wonderfully with the tangy citrus flavor of the orange.
When prepping asparagus, always snap off the woody ends and discard. If you’re in doubt of how far up the stalk to go, bend the asparagus spear and it always breaks at the correct place. To save time, I grab a few spears at a time, stems in one hand and the woody end in the other and just snap away. It doesn’t take long at all.
