Is there anything better than sitting outside with a cold beverage on a perfect sunny day? I think not (especially when we wait for days like this for months)!

I’m so excited that the farmer’s market is back! We stopped by there this morning and I picked up some yummy farm-fresh eggs and veggies which quickly turned into these delicious egg muffins.

Simple salads are the best meal for the warmer months, in my opinion. And even though this salad is simple, it packs so much flavor.

Serve this alfresco style with a cold glass of white … Bacon, Pear and Blue Cheese Chicken Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette

Because … Chocolate Avocado Pudding with Coconut Whipped Cream
Grilling meatballs may sound different, but their smoky flavor can’t be beat. These meatballs are nicely spiced with herbs and spices and they stay juicy thanks to the grated onion. The tahini-yogurt sauce compliments the meatballs and balances perfectly with the hot sauce drizzled on top, creating an irresistible bite. Serve these as an appetizer … Moroccan Grilled Meatballs with Tahini-Yogurt Dipping Sauce
In preparation for the delicious summer veggies that are to come, I couldn’t help myself from making a recipe that highlights them.

I love … Pesto Cauliflower Steaks with Smoky Romesco Sauce
