Grilled Summer Veg Bowl with Kidney Beans
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BUSH’S® Beans. All opinions are 100% mine. Beyond the obvious (grains), there are a few rules I have for grain bowls. The first: get a solid protein. I’m using BUSH’S® Organic Kidney Beans for this bowl but any variety of bean is solid. Beyond…

Tomato Rice Pilaf with Chickpeas

Cherry Tomato Cream Sauce with Parmesan
This is a silly recipe but it’s delicious and therefore, I’m sharing it. I’m always tweaking my pasta sauce recipes and this one came out by accident one day when I was attempting to use burst tomatoes in another fashion. When that didn’t go according to plan, I landed here with the help of a…

Sweet Corn Soup with Hazelnut-Dill Garnish
I don’t have much to write about this soup other than it’s one of my favorite simple recipes. It’s hard for me to go complicated with summer produce.

Vegetarian Tomato Recipes

Smoked Farro Plum Salad
This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill. See below for more information. Is there anything better than a fresh salad during the hot summer months? No, at least not in my book. Even better is a salad that uses the delightful stone fruit. It’s a salad favorite of mine and when it’s an anchor…
Ginger Miso Green Beans
I’ve been sharing more recipes on instagram as a way of testing out what people might like to see as more permanent on the site. But, these green beans were actually more of my favorite. I love the ginger/miso/butter combination. I feel like I could eat it on so much. Add a touch of lemon…
