Let’s not chit-chat today. Let’s just cut to the chase. This is one amazing Southwestern Edamame Quinoa Salad with lime vinaigrette. You are going to absolutely fall in love. We taste tested this straight up with forks. Then dipped it with Frito Lay Tostitos Hint of Lime tortilla chips as an appetizer. Amazing. Minutes later enjoyed it…
Fresh Peach Custard Pie
This dreamy peach custard pie is made with fresh peaches and a super simply 5-ingredient custard combined for an easy, creamy, and delicious fruit pie. Perfect for using up those fresh or frozen summer peaches! Why I Love This Pie I love pie. But I don’t necessarily love making pie. Let’s just say I haven’t…
Cherry Pecan Granola
I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve made Cherry Pecan Granola. And I’m not sure why. Because we all love granola at my house. For some unknown reason I’ve been on a granola strike. And that ends. TODAY! Not many weeks ago I was on a fun girls’ trip, staying in the…
Blueberry Peach Tart
A fresh Blueberry Peach Tart says summer like nothing else. Layers of fresh peaches and blueberries atop a buttery pecan crust. It’s a gorgeous and scrumptious summer dessert. I’ve always loved peaches and blueberries together and make this tart once a year when they’re both in season. (That’s right now around here!!!) For the first time…
Roasted Veggie Mediterranean Tortellini
Roasted Veggie Mediterranean Tortellini If you’ve been keeping up with the blog this summer, you know my basil plants are growing like weeds. (Unfortunately my weeds are also growing like weeds….) I don’t necessarily attribute my stellar basil crop to a green thumb. I think it was the prayer. Generally speaking, I have a thumb…
Clean Eating Orange Julius
I recently heard about a fun summer fête going on down in Rhode Island. Girlfriends getting together on cloudy, sultry summer days for afternoon movies and snacks. And sipping a Clean Eating Orange Julius. And someone present said: “We should tell Allie to put this delicious Clean Eating Orange Julius recipe on her blog.” My bionic ear didn’t…
Marinated Brie Tomato & Basil Linguine
I haven’t necessarily been holding out on you. It’s just I hadn’t thought about this amazing Marinated Brie Tomato & Basil Linguine since last summer’s garden ripe tomatoes. Last summer this dish was on my mind morning, noon and night. This year’s tomatoes are on the vine now, not quite ripe at my house yet. So…
DIY Mint Extract
Mint Extract is used in several of my favorite recipes. And if your garden includes mint, chances are it’s TEEMING with mint right now, just like mine. Last summer I had run-away mint. You probably already know this, but mint is invasive. Meaning it’ll take over. I was initially warned by a true friend when…
Summer Quesadilla De Marisco
Summer Quesadilla De Marisco: stuffed with fresh avocado slices, shrimp, melted Havarti dill cheese and green chilies. Perfection. Today we’re talkin’ about a seafood quesadilla like you’ve never tasted before. This one’s light and fresh, says summer. Makes a great main dish meal or appetizer. I have to tell you the story about the night I…
Savory Summer Pie
So many wonderful things about summer. More daylight hours. Ocean waves. Family walks around the pond after dinner. Warm sunshine and blooming flowers. I love summer and always have. July reminds me of fond childhood memories celebrating my birthday on vacation at the Cape. One of the things I love most about summer is the delicious…
