Tomato season is in full swing, which means that Michael and the kids come in from the garden every night holding tomatoes in their shirt hems. It also means it’s the perfect time for Tomato Feta Pasta, which uses the tiny cherry tomatoes, and Greek Salad, which uses the big ones. This meal is quick,…
There was a lot of BLT love today at the station! Everyone agrees that it really is the perfect sandwich when tomato season hits. Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, salty bacon, and toasted white bread slathered with a fresh basil mayo is a resounding YES. Pair it with a flavorful, summery charred corn salad and dinner…
Everything was just peachy this morning in the Fox56 kitchen! We started off with Peach Crisp (awesome for dessert, but I find it to be a totally acceptable breakfast when served with Greek yogurt) and a Peach Caprese, where peaches, basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes collide to create a gorgeous summer salad.
I was so happy to walk back in to the studio kitchen today to serve up Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa and Coconut Rice. It’s a simple but delicious summer dinner— spicy, sweet, flavorful, and fresh. Pork tenderloin is buy one get one at Kroger through tomorrow, so it’s also super budget friendly. Go…
Another summer picnic menu is up for Meal Time Monday!! The easiest Ranch Pasta Salad and Summer Subs for a park lunch or one of the many outdoor live music events that Parks & Rec puts on this summer. Have you checked out their event page? There’s something I want to go to almost every…
I brought summer into the station today in the form of Blackberry Cobbler and Blackberry Ice Cream. I love that my kiddos picked these on Saturday, I tested recipes on Sunday, and I was able to share them with you for Meal Time Monday. It doesn’t get much fresher than that. If anyone heads to Eckert’s…
Happy 4th of July!! My Loaded Potato Salad would be the perfect potluck addition for any cookout you’re attending today. Red, White, and Blueberry Trifles are a festive, quick, and delicious dessert that the kiddos will love. I hope everyone has a fun holiday celebrating with friends, family, food, and fireworks!
I happily accept my role as a pool mom every summer. I pack the towels/suits/goggles/sunscreen/snacks, and when I’m really, really on top of my game? I pack a nice lunch or dinner picnic like this one. These Italian sandwiches come out every summer, whether we’re eating them poolside or at an outdoor concert or gathering….
Eggroll in a Bowl was a super quick way to use up some CSA veggies (I should’ve thrown in a julienned kohlrabi!) and made for a delicious, simple bowl. Ever use mung bean noodles? I grew up eating them in soup, but I loved having them with this stir fry. They cook fast and won’t…
My mom taught me how to cook really good food, but my dad is the one who taught me how to to enjoy eating really good food. He loves a good burger with a cold craft beer and he has always been a Peet’s coffee man, which is what I drink every morning. Beer Cheese…
