You know how I’ve been complaining about the abundance of zucchini from my garden the past few weeks? Well, now it seems to be done and the tomatoes have taken over in full force. I picked 20 just yesterday. And you know the funny thing? Nobody in my house, including me, likes raw tomatoes. So

Lemon Curd
Homemade Lemon Curd is easier to make than you might think. It’s creamy, so zingy and perfect for summer desserts. I love lemon desserts. Besides pumpkin, it is my favorite flavor for sweets. I have always wanted to make a homemade lemon curd but I just never have known what to do with it. Well,
Homemade Ranch Dip
Goodness gracious, the past few weeks have been incredibly busy. Between our Ozarks trip, a quick jaunt to Minneapolis for an Ikea run, my birthday and Noah’s I have barely had any time to breathe.

After the process is complete you have a vanilla-y sugar that is perfect for baking, sprinkling on scones or fruit and just about anything else you would use regular sugar for. Well, when
Lemon Vinaigrette
I’ve been on a salad kick lately. Before I had Noah, I hated salad. I wouldn’t eat it. Once I got pregnant, I was trying to eat healthier and make better choices. I started choking down salad and as the time went by I actually started to enjoy it. I know you all are thinking
