Nothing says summer like some homemade raspberry sweet tea. It’s cold, refreshing, and well, sweet. What more could you ask for? Maybe a little alcohol? We’ve got that covered too.

Swordfish Tacos with Mango Salsa
A summery, light-yet-filling pescatarian meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are a little messy (drippy), but so delicious you won’t even care! While optional, we highly recommend prepping the mango salsa a day ahead of time to let the flavors marinate. All you have to do is combine the mango, tomato, cilantro,Continue reading “Swordfish Tacos with Mango Salsa”
Butternut Squash Mac N Cheese
We’ve previously shared our classic mac n cheese recipe, but this recipe adds some vegetables into the mix and is a great healthier alternative. Give it a try during summer months for a lighter take on a classically heavy dish or during the winter months to take advantage of the in-season squash. In a mediumContinue reading “Butternut Squash Mac N Cheese”

Chili
Chili is one of the quickest, easiest dishes to put together, and it is not only hearty and filling, but can also be made vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. It’s a great winter dish, but can also be made in the summer just as well. It’s a good thing to know how to make as itContinue reading “Chili”
Quiche
Quiche is the ultimate “throw in anything but the kitchen sink” dish. It’s great for using up produce that is going to go bad (but first, check out our post on ways to make produce last longer), and it’s a delicious option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It can be crustless (technically a frittata atContinue reading “Quiche”
Mac N Cheese
Everyone has a mac n cheese recipe, and everyone thinks their recipe is the best. We are no different and think our mac n cheese is the best. It’s quick, easy, the perfect balance of cheesy and creamy, and has onion and bacon. What else could you want from a mac n cheese? Plus, ifContinue reading “Mac N Cheese”

You can make your own at home for much cheaper and even have more control on the quality of it. It’s super simple and just requires you to spend 5 minutes making it and 6 monthsContinue reading “Vanilla Extract”
