Peach & Blackberry Cobbler
There are a ton of different cobbler recipes out there. You can find cobblers made in a baking dish, a cake pan and a cast iron skillet. Some cobblers call for the crusty/cake mixture to be poured below the fruit, others call for it on top of the fruit. Some people mix in nuts and… Continue reading Peach & Blackberry Cobbler
Peach Pie Fruit Salad
There's an overabundance of fruit in my kitchen right now. I'm obsessed with eating fresh fruit in the summer. There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than biting into a juicy slice of watermelon or grabbing a handful of fresh strawberries. I'm particularly fond of fresh mango and peaches. Unfortunately, peaches come at… Continue reading Peach Pie Fruit Salad
Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
Basil is an odd herb. Sometimes I really enjoy its flavor. Other times I'm turned off by the "skunkiness" of it. I enjoy it chopped fresh on top of tomatoes and mozzarella. I don't like it stirred in with my spaghetti sauce (what??). I'm what you might call a basil-loving enigma. Fresh chopped basil in… Continue reading Honey-Basil Fruit Salad
BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa
It's still 10 million degrees here on the surface of the sun---er, I mean OKLAHOMA. I wrote last week about how the grilling season was winding down, how pasta salad recipes will soon be replaced by crockpot meals, and how fall was right around the corner. WRONG. There's nothing but 90 degree temperatures in store… Continue reading BBQ Chicken with Peach Salsa

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Sunflower Fruit Salad
This time of year is the best for fruit. Pears, apples, citrus---they're all exceptionally sweet around this time every year. My grocery store even starts to carry the more exotic fruits like dragonfruit, star fruit, persimmon, and papaya. Pomegranate is fills the shelves. Fresh cut fruit trays are abundant.' It's the perfect time to make… Continue reading Sunflower Fruit Salad
Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
I have to get something off my chest: I loathe melons. Watermelon and honeydew. Gross. I'd rather eat a handful of rocks than those two fruits. And don't even get me started on cantaloupe; that stuff was truly sent to earth by the devil. Cantaloupe has always been on my relatively short 'Do Not Eat'… Continue reading Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
