Hooray for grilling season! I, for one, welcome it with open arms, since nothing tastes quite as good as meat cooked over an open flame.

Zucchini and feta are a match made in heaven and are wonderful together in savory muffins. Pair these with your favorite salad or some warm soup. Or just slather them with butter and eat them for breakfast. If you’re not a feta fan, swap in some grated cheddar cheese instead. My kids loved the mini muffins I made with the leftover batter!
Trying to feed school-age kids a healthy diet is a daily battle. Even if they like the healthy options, they are constantly surrounded and enticed by the junkier options.

I’ve been in love with Thai peanut sauce ever since my first taste. It usually contains added sugar, but I’ve found the flavor to be just as good without it. Instead of using it as a sauce to pour over the chicken, I use it as a marinade. It was just as delicious as I’d hoped.
Rhubarb season is almost here! I for one am excited because rhubarb is one of my favorite vegetables. Yes, with its red stalks and leafy tops, rhubarb…

I am more than a little obsessed with roasted broccoli at the moment. It’s so easy to make and my whole family loves it, so I’ve been making it a few times a week.
