Creamy Pasta Primavera
One hundred years ago I was a vegetarian. No seriously I was, but not one hundred years ago. It was more like 14 years ago. :) When I was in my early 20's, and working in Arizona, I read the book "Diet for a New America" by Jon Robbins. His family owned/owns the famous ice cream shop Baskin & Robbins. His book went into great detail about animal cruelty in slaughter houses

Dijon Roasted Asparagus
I did not grow up eating many vegetables. Broccoli, corn and carrots were about it. My Mom was raising us 5 kids alone in a 2 bedroom apartment and we were pretty poor. There were 3 of us kids in 1 bedroom and my 2 oldest sisters in the other one. That left Mom sleeping on the pull-out couch in the tiny family room. She worked her butt off for us kids. Usually holding 2 or 3

Summer Corn Salad
This summer I've had a small obsession with corn. And when I say small- we bake or grill it atleast a few times a week. :D I can't get enough of the flavor and the texture is like nothing else. When you grill it the outside of the corn gets a little charred and crispy, and the inside becomes so tender and juicy. It's like a party in your mouth. A party our taste buds have

Baked Parmesan Zucchini
Zucchini is one of my favorite veggies. It hasn't always been though. I've been a picky vegetable eater most of my life- usually only eating broccoli, corn and carrots. But when Kale and I got married I became brave and started experimenting with new ones. I remember the first time I tried zucchini. It was at a restaurant and it was a baked version like this recipe I'm sharing
