This is such a Summer meal, it couldn’t be more Summer! Salmon is in super season right now, from King Salmon to Copper River. Making these Thai Salmon Skewers in under twenty minutes makes it an even better dish to cook for this weather. Getting outside to grill in…

Disclosure: This is a compensated post in collaboration with Sabra Dipping Company. As usual all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support NJB. How is it the Fourth of July already?!! I usually don’s say, time flies, but whoa has it ever this past few months. Per usual, I like to pay attention, live in the moment, and enjoy each day as it comes. I suppose it’s been easier said than done as of late. This…

I’ve made many galette recipes every year a different variety, several dough making lessons, tv shows teaching Helen on AM Northwest on pie makings, even savory flavor galettes too. But today we are hitting the easy button for a sweet Summer, flaky pastry dough treat. You can totally make homemade flaky dough for this dessert but if you need something a bit easier, use a puff pastry dough sheet and make these Peach Goat Cheese Tarts!…

Cantaloupes are popping up at our local grocery stores in huge numbers and I am all over it! I’ve never made a cantaloupe smoothie the way I make our regular green smoothies, and every time I opened the fridge I’d smell them and they were yelling at me to put them into a green smoothie.

Andie Mitchell is the sweetest fellow food blogger and she has written a cookbook, Eating in the Middle- A Mostly Wholesome Cookbook. How perfect is that?!! So perfect, especially seeing as last week I spoke about this very subject and it’s the basics of my site,…

This Sunshine Orange Banana Smoothie Recipe is dessert, breakfast and snack time in one! Make dessert and add spinach for your breakfast green smoothie. I’ve been on a non spinach version for dessert smoothie kick for a few weeks now, trying different flavors and loving all of them! I make this version then add spinach for the green version the next morning. It satiates my want for something sweet, which is awesome fruits, then add the…

Such a sweet, tart, creamy discovery. It wasn’t until my late twenties when I came upon this little treasure of simple goodness, and I will never look back. Brian and I had just finished dinner, and we were talking dessert, checking out what we could make from what was in the fridge. He saw the raspberries, and said the words… milk, sugar, and raspberries. I looked puzzled, I am sure of that one. He reassured me that it is one of…
