Spaghetti Squash Macaroni and Cheese

The Hermit makes the best macaroni and cheese sauce I have ever tasted.  I was first introduced to it’s gloriousness when we started dating.  It quickly put the macaroni-and-cheese-made-with-cheese-whiz of my childhood to shame. (Sorry Mom!!)

Over the years I’ve eaten more than my fair share.

As much as I love his version, the older I get, the harder it is to fit into my jeans after eating it.  I paired it with cooked spaghetti squash and the results are amazing.

Fried Garlic Parmesan Zucchini and Kale

Sometimes you need an easy win.

Something that’s easy to make, uses up a lot of the extra zucchini you have laying around, and isn’t yet another variation of zucchini chocolate cake or zucchini poppyseed cake.  One can only have so many desserts!

Fried garlic parmesan zucchini and kale is a simple side dish that checks all the boxes.

(One small disclaimer. . .I’ve used summer squash in these pictures for colour and contrast, but I promise that whether you use summer squash or zucchini, it will taste awesome!)

An easy summer side dish recipe to use up your garden produce. Tender zucchini and crisp kale shine when fried and paired with garlic and parmesan. So good even your zucchini-hating friends will like it. Sub in summer squash for a tasty alternative!

Strawberry Feta Salad: The Perfect Potluck Pleaser

I have a confession to make: I’m terrible at bringing food people like for potluck.  I don’t know what it is, but more often than not my food ends up languishing on the table, wishing somehow it could be the cool kid at the party.

Then one day my food got popular.  Strawberry Feta Salad is the kind of salad that has people coming back for more and begging to be the person who gets to finish the last little bit.  You might even–gasp!!–get asked for the recipe.
