Garlic Scapes and Kale
Nope, I’m not posting a salad recipe today either but this leafy green veggie dish is 100% locally grown in our own garden and yard. (And, it is delicious!)

National Ice Tea Day
I am recycling, re-purposing, and reusing today. This post was originally done as a guest post for Food Stories way back in 2012. Here it is again in all its glory to celebrate National Ice Tea Day.

Asparagus with Chive Seasoned Mayo
Although technically not a salad, this dish is good served warm or cold the next day as a salad-like lunch.

Grilled Cheese with Bread and Butter Pickles
It’s time for Cook the Books. Kathleen Flinn is the featured author and I enjoyed her memoir of food, recipes and love from her adventurous and sometimes eccentric family. I probably chose the strangest recipe to feature this month….Grilled Cheese and Bread & Butter Pickles

Mediterranean Medley Pasta Salad
I know, I know….this isn’t exactly a “Salad-a-Day” but I am at least doing better than I did last summer. Here is today’s salad, an easy and delicious salad full of veggies.

Wicked Fruit
This Wicked Fruit is laden with whiskey and Amaretto as inspired by this month’s Food ‘n Flix feature “The Witches of Eastwick.”

Peppery Perfect Pasta Salad
School’s out! I am celebrating with a salad!

Fresh Mint Ice Cream with Cacao Nibs
A garden update and a cookbook review of “Sweeter Off the Vine” by Yossy Arefi.

Smoked Turkey & Brie Sandwiches
You must try this extraordinary sandwich for your next picnic or as you watch the rest of the Triple Crown. For the Kentucky Derby, I present Smoked Turkey & Brie on Rosemary Bread.
