August is here, and for some of you, your kids have already gone back to school (EEEEEKKKK!). Mine go back the day after Labor Day and I’ll be sending them with mixed emotions.

And I know you’re feeling me with this one. Busy mamas unite…

Does anyone else out there subscribe to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share? I get one through a local farm (Featherstone Farms, I love you!), and when I pick up my box of fresh vegetables each week, I get really excited about all of the amazing things that I am going to make. Perfect heads of lettuce, deep purple eggplants, bright green peppers, sweet yellow corn.
This year I’ve been getting a lot of carrots and zucchini in my boxes, which just so happens to be the perfect combination for making these Carrot Zucchini Fritters with Lemon Basil Aioli.

Do you ever have those dishes that you only order in restaurants because you think that it’s just too complicated to make them at home?
And you pay a fortune for them, but what choice do you have?
That dish is scallops for me. And it turns out I DO have a choice. And so do you.
See, in reality, scallops are not at all difficult to make. In fact these Maple Glazed Seared Scallops are pretty darn easy. But shhh….I won’t tell if you won’t. And you will look like a superstar at your next dinner party.

When I first started cooking, I will admit that I was a little bit afraid of making fish. I loved to eat it but making it at home was a whole different story. It seemed so complicated! With a thin line between under and over cooked and concerns about freshness (especially living in the midwest), it wasn’t something I thought of as an easy, weeknight meal option. Thankfully, a few years living in Boston, where fresh fish and seafood is abundant, shook me of that notion and now I love to make fish as often as I can. This Lemon Herb Baked Tilapia is the perfect recipe whether you are a fish expert or novice.

My husband often makes fun of me for my love of vegetables. It’s probably a fair bit of lighthearted ribbing, because I am a little crazy when it comes to getting those veggies in every day! When I’m eating well – and for me, that typically means eating mostly plant based – I feel so much better. This Easy Vegetarian Chili is an absolute staple in my winter diet because it is so simple to throw together, freezes well, and it chock full of colorful veggies!

If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you might remember me mentioning that I have a very picky eater. My youngest child is now two and has basically four approved foods. If it isn’t a bread, cheese, fruit, or yogurt, she won’t touch it. In my quest to not live my life as a short order cook and still get dinner on the table that most of us will eat, I’ve started working hard on developing recipes that are totally kid friendly and adult approved. These Cheesy Turkey Apple Meatballs with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce are perfect for picky kids and adults alike.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with the publicity team for Tex-Mex Diabetes Cooking. We received this cookbook in exchange for an honest review. Of course all opinions are ours alone because we wouldn’t have it any other way!
As most of you already know I have started the Whole 30 this month so obviously health is going to be important to me in 2019. But what some of you don’t know is that I was recently diagnosed with insulin resistance which is the precursor to diabetes. So when the publicity team for Tex-Mex Diabetes Cooking approached us about a possible review of their new cookbook, I couldn’t say no. But I won’t say I had high hopes. I mean diabetes friendly Tex-Mex food? Really? Luckily I was about to be proven so very wrong. In the very best way. This book is a winner and we were lucky enough to be able to share one of the recipes with you! (And chances are good you know someone with diabetes who could benefit from this book too!)
