Sweet Potato Salmon Melts
Hi, friends, these Sweet Potato Salmon Melts have become one of my new favorite meals! I owe Paul for this recipe. Picture it: Sunday evening, the fridge was empty.

Pan Seared Cod with Blistered Tomatoes
Do you remember in March how excited I was about planting our very first garden? With our first full summer living in our very first house with our own fairly large yard we could not wait to plant a little herb/veggie garden. Paul and I had visions of walking out our back door to pick fresh tomatoes and strawberries. Once spring arrived we began observing a spot in the yard where the sun would generously give our little garden plenty of light. We found the perfect spot. It had an area that was … [Read more...]
