Cucumber Salad
Cucumber Salad makes a refreshing side dish. The main ingredients are cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion. Our garden (aka "Jungle") is filled with tomato plants this Summer! I planted a few, but we think most of them came up from the compost we put in the garden bed. Those... (see the full recipe!)
Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
This Roasted Chicken and Vegetables recipe cooked up so beautifully! It was hard to believe the chicken was cooked thoroughly, but still moist, and the vegetables were just the right texture, with just the right amount of char. All this in just 15 minutes. Two baking sheets... (see the full recipe!)
Avocado Snack (Quick, Healthy and Vegan)
I hope you love this avocado snack as much as I do! Just two ingredients. The only tricky part is making sure you use your avocado at the right time.

Chocolate Covered Dates with Almonds
My husband visited Switzerland recently and of course stocked up on delicious gourmet chocolates (which sadly are all gone now). Some of the chocolates he brought home that were surprisingly really good were chocolate covered dates with almonds in the middle. As a kid, dates... (see the full recipe!)
Refried Beans in the Slow Cooker
Have you ever tried making your own refried beans? I usually cook them over the stove-top when I have an at-home-all-day sort of day, but throwing everything into the slow cooker in the morning sure makes it easier to get errands done throughout the day :) These beans turned out...
