Pesto Potato Salad

2023-09-25T14:11:47-07:00September 25th, 2023|

When another BBQ with traditional potato salad just wont do, I like to turn to this mayo-free recipe that uses a versatile basil pesto to that is great as a side dish during the summer. Or preserve summer basil and enjoy it year-round to recreate those warm-season memories.

Buttermilk-brined Grilled Chicken

2023-09-25T13:27:55-07:00September 25th, 2023|

I love when a simple recipe becomes a go-to recipe for any season of the year. From the pages of The Sunset Cookbook - a massive array of many years of recipes produced in Sunset Magazine - this foundation for buttermilk-brined chicken can be altered to use the best of each season. Sometimes I add lemon zest and very woody herbs, other times more summer flavors like basil, dill, and fennel. IT really depends upon the meal - and what's growing well in the garden.

Summer Corn, Sweet Pepper + Peach Salad

2023-09-25T12:56:24-07:00September 25th, 2023|

We love this blend of fresh summer corn, colorful sweet peppers, and ripe peaches paired with spicy arugula greens and our go-to lemon basil vinaigrette. We love the sweet and bitter pairing that brings all the best of the summer season together in one healthy dish. This salad is delightful for lunch or as a side dish for grilled fish or an HP team favorite, buttermilk-brined grilled chicken.

Summer Tomato Crostini

2023-09-25T12:33:11-07:00September 25th, 2023|

Summer tomato crostini are an easy and delicious appetizer or side dish full of herby flavors and sweet, colorful tomatoes.

Green Goddess Spring Hummus

2023-03-24T12:45:44-07:00March 24th, 2023|

Celebrate the Spring Equinox by enjoying the bounty of the cool-season garden. This inspired hummus is a wonderful take on a traditional classic utilizing the best of the season. Great served with fresh spring veggies and flatbread, this hummus is delicious with roasted cauliflower, baked fish, or grilled chicken too.

Spinach Artichoke Hummus

2023-08-02T16:42:40-07:00May 26th, 2022|

If spinach artichoke dip is a requested staple, you wont be disappointed with this healthier variation. Spinach artichoke hummus is a dairy-free, protein-rich full of fresh flavors (or pantry staples). Enjoy with warm flatbread, toasted crostini, carrots, steamed artichokes, and radishes.

Mango Turmeric Hummus

2022-05-20T17:06:27-07:00May 20th, 2022|

One of my favorite fruit to enjoy is a decadent ripe mango. My mouth is watering just thinking about the sweet sticky juice and rich flesh. Combining mango with heart-healthy turmeric, this hummus recipe is a sweet version of the savory classic. Great as a stand alone option, I also enjoy pairing this hummus in protein bowls with quinoa, flaky fish, and lots of fresh veggies.

Chocolate Hummus

2022-05-13T11:04:25-07:00May 13th, 2022|

While hummus in our household is most often of the savory variety, the occasional sweet treat is always welcome. Full of protein and no processed sugar, chocolate hummus is one way to flip the script on all your previous ideas of what you can make with garbanzo beans. I added local honey, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder for a rich dip that goes well with fresh strawberries, bananas, and of course your favorite cookie.
