We have been adding more salads to our weekly routine and it’s fun to come up with new ways to enjoy our veggies.

Serve this as is or if you want … Rainbow Veggie Salad with Roasted Chickpeas and Beet Vinaigrette
Sweety drop peppers are small, tear-shaped peppers that originated from Peru. They have an amazing taste that is both sweet and sour. The pepper seed is a combo of a cherry pepper and jalapeno pepper, so these peppers also add a little spiciness without being overwhelming. They add wonderful flavor to this aioli! Hot, crispy … Crispy Potatoes with Sweety Drop Pepper Aioli
Deviled eggs are a favorite snack in our household. They are so flavorful and it’s easy to make them in a variety of ways.

With the holidays behind us, I’m ready to incorporate some lighter meals into our weekly routine. This dish is on the table in less than 30 minutes, but tastes like it’s been stewing for hours.

Because I feel like my life involves a lot of cleaning up after myself in the kitchen, I highly appreciate a dinner that offers little mess.

The marsala wine adds a nice sweetness and the mushrooms pair nicely … Gruyere Risotto with Marsala Mushrooms
This curry dish is so incredibly flavorful and celebrates fall flavors. A full can of pumpkin puree is added to the sauce which provides a wonderful creaminess and helps to thicken it (and it adds a boatload of fiber and vitamin A!).
