I'm eating fridge salads all summer. What do you think? Are you aware of what is a refrigerator salad? It's a healthy salad that stands well to the cold (doesn't become limp and soggy like lettuce) and is the perfect meal prepper's companion. In the summer, I enjoy making large quantities of salads in the refrigerator, such as the one below, Lemony Artichoke, and Quinoa Salad I can eat throughout the week. Sometimes I eat them as a light meal, and sometimes, I serve them as a snack and occasionally as a base dish for bowl-style meals. They're delicious, versatile, and aren't wasted in my...

At one point, I was contemplating purchasing an ice cream machine. I'm grateful I didn't, as this no-churn ice cream method is a breeze and makes an ice cream that's as silky soft and fluffy as churned ice cream, with no equipment needed. #WIN Although I haven't created no-churn ice cream for quite a while (because it is possible to have too much of a good thing). possible to make too many good things) and with the abundance of fresh peaches available in the stores this season, I couldn't resist making this tangy sweet, creamy No Churn Balsamic Peach Ice cream. CAN...

I rarely make dessert, but when I make it, I usually cook things that aren't too sweet. Foods that can efficiently serve as breakfasts, such as lemon blueberry cornbread skillet. Making the recipe from my Homemade Cornbread recipe as a base, I added citrus zest and frozen blueberries. I then increased the sugar by one skosh to make it appear more like a type of coffee cake. The result is indeed delicious when paired with coffee!! The recipe also serves as a fantastic illustration for my Basic Budget Byting Rule #2--using costly ingredients sparingly and combining them with cheap items to maintain the total...

My favorite preparation method is roasting vegetables in the oven, including sweet summer corn. The fresh corn ears are kept sweeter and juicier by roasting them in their husks.

The husk helps retain the corn's natural moisture, resulting in super-juicy kernels with a sweet taste when you bite them. This is truly amazing. The husks, silk, and husks of the corn are easily removed after it has...
