Tomato Salad with Green Beans, Corn and Bulgur

This tomato salad is the perfect fresh-from-the-garden all-purpose side dish for the season. It's bursting with green beans, tomatoes, corn and cucumbers, with toothsome bulgur adding just a touch of heft (and healthy whole grain) while soaking up the tangy dressing.

Tangy Smashed Potato Salad with Goat Cheese

This healthy potato salad recipe has all the fixins you love -- sour cream, bacon, chives, and even goat cheese. Take it to your Fourth of July picnic or any summertime backyard barbecue.

Fregola Salad with White Beans and Arugula

Fregola is an Italian rolled pasta similar to Israeli couscous, and it's wonderfully toothsome in this salad. If you can't find fregola (or wanted to go gluten free), millet would be a great substitute. Top with a few chunks of good quality tuna packed in olive oil and you've got a nice, hearty, nourishing meal.

Fudgy Black Bean Brownies with Sea Salt

Don't tell anyone these fudgy little brownies--simple as all get out and baked in a mini muffin tin--are made out of black beans. Wow them with the taste first, then surprise them with the secret ingredient.

What is Your Comfort Food?

I posted something on Facebook yesterday in response to what happened in Boston this week, and struggled to find my own answer to the question. The whole circuitous train of thought brought to life something I’ve said a gazillion times before and I’ll probably say a gazillion times again: food is about so much more than just what we eat.
