Simple Tomato & Burrata Salad

August 20, 2015 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 4 Comments

I know some of you guys are waiting to hear what I made Chipotle Mayo for, but… Ermagherrrd. It can wait. I need to share my love for burrata cheese with the entire online world.

I mean, tomato season is on its way out the door. Don’t shoot the messenger. Just tellin’ it like it is. This is my absolute favorite way to eat tomatoes. I know I said the same thing last week. I wasn’t lying. Tomato & Goat Cheese Tart is crazy delicious. But its totally allowable to have a two-way tie, or an eight-way, or even a 17-way tie in the food world. I would say it’s encouraged even.

Half Egg White Frittata with Roasted Veggies

Happy Monday!

I had a good weekend. Not to brag or anything. The week leading up to it was pretty quiet… The Bachelorette has ended and we didn’t make up another excuse for girl’s night. Summer has kind of slowed down and I didn’t make much of an effort to pick the pace back up again.

I expected the weekend to be the same. But then it was full of random, last-minute adventures, which is the best kind of weekend. You start off slow, with no real plans, and then everything you do seems fun and surprising and spontaneous. Like…

Fresh Mango Peach Salsa

There’s one thing to love about Mondays.

Mondays are a fresh start. An opportunity to reinvent yourself. A day for redesigning your outlook on life. You have the choice of waking up on the wrong side of the bed or the right side of the bed and that can set the tone for your entire week.

Really, we can do this on any day, but Monday is a natural day of renewal. Almost every Sunday, I make some promise to myself for the coming week: I will go to the gym regularly. I will be absolutely productive at work and leave on time. I will drink ten glasses of water per day. I will take “me” time, without feeling guilty.

Peach and Prosciutto Caprese Salad

July 9, 2015 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 7 Comments

I’m republishing this almost one year to the day! Should I wait another three days to republish, so that my perfectionism can sing its heart out with the fortuitous bliss that is 365 days by accident? Nope. I want to share this with you NOW! Peach season is upon us and I can’t think of anything else I would rather make with my Farmer’s-Market-Fresh Peaches. Not even cake or cobbler or pie. Just this salad, which is healthy and indulgent both at once, and which is my favorite kind of food.

Why am I republishing? Because of this:

Basic Overnight Steel-Cut Oats

June 18, 2015 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 28 Comments

I’m officially obsessed with Basic Overnight Steel-Cut Oats. Like, can’t-go-a-morning-without-this obsessed. Like, might-cry-into-my-bowl-once-it’s-empty obsessed. Why? Because they’re EASY and chewy and satisfying without added sugar and with plenty of protein and fiber.

So normally I eat eggs for breakfast. By normally, I mean almost every day because they are delicious and because they are a good source of protein and because they keep me full until lunchtime. But eggs are now the stuff of Breakfasts Past and now I’m all about the Basic Overnight Steel-Cut Oats.

Summer Corn and Tomato Salad with Jalapeño-Lemon Feta

June 16, 2015 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 8 Comments

Fresh summer corn is probably one of my favorite foods. I know I say that about a lot of foods, but this is true. It’s actually always true… I have a lot of favorite foods! I’m a girl who loves food, what can I say?!

Even not-fresh, always-available corn (i.e. canned corn) has had a special place in my heart for a very long time. When I was still little, but big enough to use the stove, I would heat an entire can of corn, add some butter, and eat the whole thing for supper. I’m a little horrified by that idea now… but I guess it’s okay for a 10-year-old. But seriously, just horrified thinking about it. Where’s the protein? Where’s the calcium or iron or vitamin C? Oy vey… (…rolls eyes at younger self.)

Jalapeño-Lemon Feta

Ready for the easiest recipe ever?

Those words are like sweet music to my ears these days.

This super-simple recipe can be an appetizer, a snack, or an ingredient. In fact, if you stay tuned for my next blog post, you’ll see me use Jalapeño-Lemon Feta in a summer veggie salad side dish something.

I owe you, my blog friends, an apology. I feel like I’ve neglected the Internetsphere lately. I’m at least posting once a week, but they’ve been short and maybe a bit impersonal.
