Tomatoes and Basil
As you may know from summer’s past, I love farm-fresh tomatoes. What I love even more is the simple yet nutritious and delicious combination of tomatoes and basil.

Well, I decided that I needed some soup to cure me. Not having the energy to shop for soup ingredients, I decided to take my inspiration from what was in the apartment, whic… read more »
Seasonal Skewers
Hopefully yesterday’s post, Nutritioulicious Cocktail Parties, got you in the mood to do some cooking or throw a party yourself! As I mentioned, it’s important to have a variety of hors d’oeuvres to serve in order to give your guests nutritional balance. And to make these nutritional bites delicious, it’s great to use seasonal ingredients when possible. Luckily, summer is a great season to throw a party! There is so much fresh, flavorful produce around, and it can reall… read more »
