Japanese Winter Salad with Miso Dressing
A few weeks ago we set out to create a dinner menu for our mom’s birthday. We are typically a family that goes out to celebrate birthdays, but in the world of Covid that isn’t possible. We wanted dinner at home to still feel special and celebratory, and settled on a combination of a catered…

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
In our family, the concept of “salad” on Thanksgiving is a bit controversial. Some (looking at you Nana) will say that salad is a waste of a dish and it’s all about the decadence. The rest of us feel like a good salad can mix things up and give us a little break from the…

Edamame Rice Salad
We weren’t exactly sure what to name this dish… is it a carb? Is it a salad? Is it a vegetarian entree? It’s a little bit of everything, thanks to an abundance of veggies in this dish. Cooking at home for nearly every meal since March has given us a chance to experiment with recipes…

Eggplant Caprese Salad
It has been a labor of love, but we are finally getting eggplant to grow in our garden! We love to cook this seasonal veggie by lightly seasoning it and grilling it. This version of eggplant is served in a caprese salad and pairs perfectly with the tomato and mozzarella cheese. This is an easy…

Arugula & Bulgur Caprese
There is something so “summer” about caprese salad. We have posted a number of versions since having the blog and continue that trend today with a spin on this Half Baked Harvest rendition. Tieghan posted this recipe a few years ago and we love the addition of the prosciutto for a salty punch and the…

Semi-Homemade Southwestern Steak “Wedge” Salad
When we go out to dinner, one of our favorite salads to order is the classic wedge salad. We love the simplicity of this salad and used it as inspiration for a weekday lunch. This salad uses pre-marinated steak that we found at Trader Joe’s. This is a huge win for both flavor and time…

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…

Semi-Homemade Pesto Caprese Salad
This salad qualifies as a “mostly homemade” recipe instead of semi-homemade recipe, it is that easy. Who says cooking needs to be hard?! Simple is the theme with this salad and boy is it delicious. With just a little chopping and mixing you can have a healthy, nutritious, and tasty salad within 15 minutes. We…

Fig, Bleu Cheese, & Walnut Salad
We were recently at Whole Foods and so excited because we found fresh figs for the first time in a while! We used dried figs in our Bruschetta Board that we posted last week and still had them on the brain when it came to making a menu this week! Sometimes simple is best, and this salad…

Shaved Summer Squash Salad with Burrata
Summer squash season is quickly approaching and we couldn’t be more excited! We love to use zucchini and yellow squash all summer, particularly prepared raw as a nice change from all of the hearty squash dishes we eat. This recipe calls for the squash to be shaved- which we do by rotating the squash around…
