Hi Reader, I eat salads every day, so I change things up a lot to keep things exciting. That's not hard to do with all of the gorgeous summer produce at my finger tips. I love everything from chopped salad, fruity salads and even salads without lettuce. Given my daily salad habit, I couldn't live without my OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner*. It doubles as a fruit washer and an easy way to store your vegetables! If you like salad as much as I do, check out my collection of Summer Salad Recipes....

Hi Reader, Summer is arriving this month, so bring on the grilling season, all the salads, and fruity desserts! The markets are brimming with so much produce right now that I feel like a kid in a candy store, but it can also get overwhelming.

Hi Reader, I reshot my burger bowls recipe this week because I felt that the old version just wasn’t doing them justice. Now they're even more crave-worthy. They still have my juicy grilled burgers and burger sauce, but I added crispy air fryer roasted sweet potatoes and quick pickled red onions (coming soon!). I loved them so much that I made them a few days later with grilled turkey burgers. I'm completely obsessed! The post has not been updated with the new photos yet, but I included one...
