Five years ago you wouldn’t catch me with a mushroom anywhere near my mouth. Over the years I’ve become more adventurous and decided to try mushrooms on pizza. Then sliced and sauteed to serve over steak or pork chops. Now I love them! I’ve learned how to saute mushrooms to bring out their earthy flavor,…

Tomato Cucumber Salad with Balsamic Reduction Glaze

Pizza night! This is usually the night when I don’t feel like doing too much cooking. While some people are perfectly happy with having a couple of slices and nothing else, this would be my husband and kids, I like to have a little variety. Sure I could dump a bag of lettuce in a bowl and call it good. I do that sometimes. Other times I want something with a little more flavor oomph. I want authentic flavors on my table to share with my family. Pairing a salad with Freschetta pizza accomplishes this with simple flair. Tomatoes, cucumbers and balsamic vinegar reduction is a quick way to add a fun, delicious side dish to your pizza night meal without a lot of effort.

Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t like the creamy, mayonnaisy potato salad served up at just about every backyard BBQ known to man? Really, I have nothing against it. I don’t mind it, and maybe I just haven’t found the right recipe, but to me it’s a lot of goop and…

Cucumber Radish Salad

We’ve had a few deliveries of Door to Door Organics lately and I have to say, the ingredients have been inspiring. Recipe inspiring, that is! I’m a visual person, so even though I know what I’m getting in my subscription boxes and I’m able to customize them, I still have no clue what I’m going to make until I see the actual product. Recently, when I opened my subscription box and found the radishes and spring onions, I knew I was going to make a modified version of my mom’s cucumber salad.

I loved the often simple ingredient creations my mom would make when I was growing up, and no matter how hard I try, it’s near impossible to recreate them. I decided to roll with the punches and instead of recreating them, I’m modifying them and making them my own. It’s still her inspiration, but with a little bit of Sunshine flair. In this case I didn’t change too much. I added radishes and changed the vinegar to apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. Basically, it’s the same recipe, just embellished a bit.

If I could have it my way, I would be almost 100% in charge of Thanksgiving dinner every year. I say almost because for some reason I don’t do pies well, and there…

  When I was a kid I would have laughed at you if you placed a bowl of Brussels sprouts in front of me and expected me to eat them. Tiny cabbages? No way! Every now and then I go through a phase where I decide I need to either try fruits and vegetables I’ve…
