Savory Corn and Cheddar Waffles with Avocado

Savory Corn and Cheddar Waffles with Avocado

Sebastian is especially into these savory corn and cheddar waffles. They are fun and kid-friendly, but I also really like eating them myself, so it's a win-win for all of us. I usually make a large batch and then store them in the fridge and reheat over the course of a few days.

Broccoli Rabe Tater Tots

Broccoli Rabe Tater Tots

I was feeling an above-average level of confidence, so I decided to make some tater tots from scratch. I liked the idea of adding something green and healthy, something with a bold flavor. I opted for broccoli rabe because I really like the flavor and texture after a quick blanch and a saute in the frying pan with some salt and butter, and I thought the flavors would work so well.

Grilled Cheese with Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms, Onions, and Fresh Spinach

Grilled Cheese with Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms, Onions, and Fresh Spinach

Grilled cheese toppings are where my creativity really blossoms. I like to add a slice of tomato or some hot peppers, maybe some avocado slices, or red pepper, but my absolute favorite way to eat a grilled cheese is with some slow cooked glazed balsamic mushrooms and onions, and some fresh spinach.

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake with Salted Caramel and Candied Pecans

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake with Salted Caramel and Candied Pecans

This cheesecake recipe is one that I have been making for a while. I love it so much that I really haven't thought of trying anything else. The consistency is more of a creamy pumpkin pie than your typical New York style cheesecake.

Veggie Quesadillas with a Tangy Chipotle Lime Sauce

Veggie Quesadillas with a Tangy Chipotle Lime Sauce

In celebration of summer, markets, eating your veggies, and helping others, I wanted to share a recipe for grilled vegetable quesadillas. After my trip to the market this past Sunday, I actually came home with more produce than I could eat in one week. When this is the case, I like to fry up all the veggies I have no plans for and serve them in a warm tortilla with melted sharp cheddar, and a chipotle dipping sauce on the side. It is such an easy and healthy meal to prepare, which is exactly what I am looking for these days.
