Salads

Sometimes I honestly don’t know what I’m going to get with some of these recipes. The photos that accompany them always look so appealing and I wonder how my own photos will come out. Believe me, some haven’t made it. I’ve made some bad mistakes. I try to use the best ones, but a lot […]

The temperatures have fallen in Maine and I’m sad to say that our garden season is coming to a close. There aren’t many tomatoes left and the zucchinis are growing at a slower pace.

I’ve got the perfect summer salad for you. It’s actually very good and believe it or not, I’m still thinking about it from last night. I think the fact that it was stuffed with basil helps. I love basil and there was no shortage of it in this one. The Recipe As you may have […]

I have never prepared a salad with scrambled eggs in it before, so when I spotted this recipe, I initially wasn’t going to try it out. I’m glad I came to my senses though because I must say, it was delicious. And believe it or not, it was filling to boot. The Recipe There are […]

Buddha bowls are pretty cool things. They are bowls that are stuffed with all sorts of goodies, oftentimes including rice, squash, mushrooms, avocado, various pieces of fruit and so much more. I have no idea who invented these things or how long they’ve been around, but I can tell you that I like them. If […]
