Fresh Melon Mint Caprese Salad + Pomegranate
Fresh Melon Mint Caprese Salad + Pomegranate – a bright, vibrant summer salad that is fresh and delicious!
Summer! It’s here! (I know technically summer isn’t “official” for another couple of weeks, but I don’t care). School it out and it is finally warm out = it’s summer in my book. And that means all the wonderful fruits and veggies are baaaaack and filling up all of our refrigerators ? I am in a cantaloupe phase… not sure why…. but I just keep picking the best ones and have slowly become addicted (I suppose there are worse things) so naturally, I decided to create a new recipe around my obsession. This Fresh Melon Mint Caprese Salad + Pomegranate is a modified classic caprese salad (which would normally have tomatoes, mozzarella and basil). Instead of the tomatoes – cantaloupe; instead of the basil – mint; instead of the mozzarella — okay I kept the mozzarella (but feel free to skip that part if you are non-dairy or Whole30). Then add some proscuitto (because cantaloupe and prosciutto are ah-mazing together) and some pomegranate (for the pop of extra flavor). It is amazing and wonderful and I hope you guys give it a try!

You guys – why haven’t we thought of this before?! Well, maybe you have, but this was an epiphany for me – so why haven’t I thought of this before?! I mean, you get a Greek salad (hello – yum!) between to slices of carbs…. errr….I mean, two slices of bread! It is a Greek salad, completely re-packaged, and I am loving it. This one is a keeper.

Baked Eggplant Parmesan
Baked Eggplant Parmesan is a great meatless meal that showcases your beautiful eggplant as the centerpiece of the meal. Healthy, filling and oh-so-yummy!
Having really good eggplant parmesan can lead you to have an “ah-ha” moment of “wait, there isn’t any meat in this meal…. and I like it?!” It is that good. It is ridiculously good. It is go-out-and-buy-an-eggplant-immediately good. I promise it isn’t as complicated as you might expect. Yes, it takes a little bit of time, but it is SO worth it! Just try it. For reals.

Stuffed Zucchini
Stuffed Zucchini is a great entrée for your next gathering and a fun way to use your garden-grown zucchini!
I am completely in love with these stuffed zucchini’s! Staying true to my garden-harvest focus as of late, here is my latest use for your home-grown veggies (or farmers-market bought … or store-bought). Let’s just be honest, it is veggie heaven right now as far as what is in season. Zucchini is one of my most favorite vegetables because it is so diverse. It is my go-to in stir-fry and is the main ingredient in one of my other favorite foods – Fried Zucchini. Like, Fried Zucchini, this is a meal I grew up eating and is something I still make every summer for my own family. Yes, it is kid-friendly (if you can get them to admit they like pizza – you should be able to negotiate several bites, if not an entire plate) and, overall, pretty healthy (you can use as little or as much cheese as you like – that is really the only big calorie punch). It is beautiful, fresh and oh-so-tasty! This a must-try guys…..

Baked Brie Grilled Cheese with Sweet Basil and Boysenberry Jam
Baked Brie Grilled Cheese with Sweet Basil and Boysenberry Jam is a new (slightly sophisticated) spin on the old classic!
I am completely in love with this sandwich! My own personal baked brie that I don’t have to share with anyone! How have I not thought of this before? It is like a grilled cheese/baked brie/peanut butter and jelly all wrapped into one…. but better. The basil is a must and adds the little something extra to really bring this to the next level. Your grown-up grilled cheese. Devour, my friends.

So you just got done smoking a HUGE smoked pork shoulder and are wondering what in the heck you are going to do with all those leftovers (please tell me I am not the only one who habitually over-estimates the amount of food people will eat) – no worries, I got you covered. This salad is so good, my husband walked by and swiped it from me as soon as I was done shooting it. It’s so good, guys like it. And it’s a salad.
