Beet, Goat Cheese, & Farro Salad
We have jam packed this salad full to the brim! Unlike our Semi-Homemade Pesto Caprese that we made earlier in the week, this recipe will have you in the kitchen for a bit more time if you are cooking the beets from scratch. We promise it is worth it! If you want to save some time, look…

Grilled Calamari Steaks With Lemon Caper Sauce
When Tate’s family was living in Chicago, they became obsessed with eating the grilled calamari from Saranellos in the northern suburbs. The dish was perfectly created to feel light yet flavorful and filling. We were recently on a weekly grocery trip and discovered calamari steaks at the fish stand.

Summer Berry Trifle
After celebrating quite a few birthdays in May & June, we have had to start getting creative about what to do with leftover birthday cake. We love our share of cake, but after a few days, we were getting a little tired of tasting the same ingredients. We experimented a bit with different leftover birthday…

Chicken with Feta & Green Beans
As we have mentioned in previous posts, we love our local Middle Eastern grocery store, Arash. They have some of the best quality lamb, chicken and traditional Middle Eastern ingredients that we can find in the area. When we go we always buy a giant block of French feta, which is less salty and creamier…

Summer Pesto Pasta Salad
We love serving pasta salad as a side dish for a cookout or barbecue. There are hundreds of recipes to choose from, but we tend to go with a veggie filled pesto version as we head into the heart of summer. Pasta salads can often time be filled with mayo which makes it a very…
