Raw Kalifornia Salad
Happy Summer Solstice! Today marks the longest day (most hours of sunlight) of the year, but that's not the only big celestial event this week. This weekend we're also getting ready for the arrival of the 2013 supermoon, which will deliver the biggest and brightest moon of the year.

That, and avocados, are just a few of the many perks to living in a Mexico-border-town, with access to great produce year-round. This is a recipe I created for a delicious, chunky, super fresh salsa. Inspired by my longings for... read more

I love roasted vegetables! It's such an easy and diverse dish, and when it comes to food, I'm all about recipes that can be modified to suit the season, what's on hand, and what else is being served. Roasted veggies provide just that! This was our really delicious... read more

Ultimate Dill Pickles
