It’s zucchini season! Do you know what that means? If you’re an avid Pinterest follower then you know that every other recipe will have zucchini in it. I love zucchini and I don’t object to the sudden flurry of recipes using this veggie, so I hope you’re not sick of seeing zucchini recipes. I’m here to add to the fun with these spicy zucchini chips. They’re not really chips, but I couldn’t think of a better title and just called it close enough.

Mediterranean Carrot Salad
Have you heard of a spiralizer? There are many varieties on the market but essentially it’s a kitchen gadget that transforms a vegetable into something that looks like spaghetti, like this one. It sounds like a great invention, but I don’t know if I’d use it more than twice before the cool factor wore off. Do you have one? And if so, do you think it was worth the investment?

Greek Quinoa Salad
I seem to always have food on my mind, whether it’s something I want to eat or a recipe that I want to create. I’d say it’s a food blogger thing but I’ve been this way since before I had my blog.

(I want one!) It’s a great movie with several good songs in it, but the song “Let It Go” stands out as being the one that is stuck in my head.

White Beans and Couscous With Fresh Tomato Salad
Have you noticed that recipe trends change when the seasons change? I find it slightly entertaining that soups and autumnal desserts seem to be a thing of the past now, as if they’ve stopped being delicious. Don’t worry soup lovers, the fad will return come September. Maybe I’ll rebel and make something that no one would expect to see this time of the year, like some yummy Pumpkin Pie. (That’s one of my husband’s favorites, so I know he would not object to that.) I will admit that I’m sort of tired of eating soup and I’m anxious to eat some summer veggies and fruit. …
