If you read last week’s blog, the theme (no surprise!) was on getting a healthy start to 2022. Whole foods are a key part of a healthy diet, and nuts – as long as you have no allergy or sensitivity to them – are a whole food that offers numerous benefits. Ditto for nut butters.

As we near the end of our second pandemic year, you may have noticed a few extra inches around the waistline. Working from home has had its perks – like cutting commute times – as well as its problems. Temptation, for example, is always a threat with your “office” so close to the pantry. So,

In the summer months it’s nice to lighten up meals with a salad. I love both leafy green salads as well as hearty grain and vegetable salads. If I’m making a meal of a salad I like to add a grain, nuts and seeds, cheese, or a vegetable such as sweet potato. If it’s a side dish I’ll keep it light with lots of leafy greens, fresh herbs and maybe a fruit such as strawberries. There’s actually quite a bit in season right now which would make for some creative summer salads.

They can be stored for months in a cool basement and the different varieties of winter squash may be substituted for each other in your many squash recipes. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, winter squash can be prepared in sweet and savory recipes.

Let’s talk about snacks. I’ve got a hungry little lady on my hands at home now and I try as much as possible to stay away from packaged snacks. Having said that, I always have a bag of Love Child Ducks in my diaper bag for when we’re on the go and I haven’t packed anything.

Father’s Day is coming up and in my family we like to celebrate with an afternoon by the pool and a delicious meal. Typically we do a grilled meat and then a couple outdoor friendly sides. Grain and vegetable salads are always great because they can handle dressing well even when dressed in advance. Potato salad is usually our go-to but this year we are going to switch it up with a pea and pancetta salad. The fresh mint in this salad is the selling feature for me. It’s refreshing and so complimentary to the salty pancetta.
