Jalapenos! I happened across far more jalapenos than I possibly could use this summer thanks to my awesome Imperfect Produce delivery. I made some salsas, tacos, and pickled some, but was still looking for something new to use them for. That is how this Jalapeno Jelly: No Pectin (!) came to be.
Cauliflower is one of those foods that is so good for you and that I’m always open to eating, but enjoy it in more…creative ways. These fritters are definitely one of those “creative” ways to enjoy some of your abundance of cauliflower! Baked cauliflower cheddar fritters are a slightly healthier option, but 100 percent tasty.
I enjoy refreshing cocktails in the summer because of the abundance of fresh fruits and herbs. Pimm’s Cups are the (un)official beverage of Wimbledon and are more popular in the UK than the US. But what they are, are delicious. Light and fruity but without the cloying sweetness of simple syrup or loads of added sugar. And when it’s in the 90’s-100’s in the late summer, Pimm’s Cup Popsicles are an excellent way to cool down.
Sweet potatoes are one of those foods that I could eat every day. And sometimes I do. They’re extremely filling, flavorful, and versatile. Another thing I love are tacos. So why not combine them! These spicy sweet potato black bean tacos are such a satisfying meal and will leave you feeling full and happy.
Clafoutis. It’s fun to say, and more fun to eat. I have been compulsively buying every fresh berry that I see at the farmer’s market, but that means I have to keep on mixing it up and make different goodies with them! These Mini Summer Berry Clafoutis are so simple and require pantry ingredients plus fresh berries. So they should be quick and easy to whip up whenever you want!
