Minty Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta Salad

I, like most other people I know, love a juicy summer watermelon. It is just so refreshing and delicious! I remember that my grandfather always used to (and probably still does) put salt on his watermelon, which I thought was absolutely crazy. I thought that salt would ruin the sweet taste. Through the years, I've... Continue Reading →

Midnight Quick Pickles

Every time we visit my cousin and her husband, we always come home with more than when we arrived. They live in a more rural county, have a HUGE backyard garden, and freezers full of hunting spoils. We were there this past weekend to visit with them and their brand new baby šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜Ā We cooked dinner... Continue Reading →

Citrus Chili Cucumbers

I love cucumbers, but I basically eat them the same two ways over and over. (See: Fresh Avocado & Cucumber SaladĀ & Mama Z’s Cucumbers)Ā I've had this cucumber recipe pinned for literally years, but have never made it. It's been pinned more than 119,000 times! Apparently everyone likes a nice cucumber... I'm glad I finally tried... Continue Reading →

Mama Z’s Cucumbers

Update 7/1/17: Soooo... turns out my memory was faulty. After talking with Jon and our other friend/my old roommate Terry, we think I mentally combined Mama Z's recipe and Terry's. Too lazy to change the title and the whole post, so we'll just pretend - but give a quick shout to Terry and my muddled... Continue Reading →

Fresh Avocado & Cucumber Salad

Awhile back I shared one of my favorite lunches, thisĀ Couscous Salad. It's pretty easy to make, pretty healthy, and pretty delicious. In that post, I talked about how I find lunch very uninspiring. I still do. I love going out to lunch though... why is it that a sandwich, soup, or salad at a restaurant... Continue Reading →

Cucumbers in Peanut Sauce

April 2017 Update:Ā I think about this recipe from time to time, and in all honesty y'all, I'm not sure I can recommend it as posted. The sauce is delicious, but I think it's just too overwhelming for cucumbers by themselves. One time I combined the cucumber and sauce with some rice noodles and that was... Continue Reading →

Roasted Garlic & Cucumber Raita

For those who don't know, raita is a very versatile Indian yogurt dip/sauce. A dollop on top of spicy hot dishes cools them right off. Naan dipped in raita makes delicious naan even better. I say versatile because raita basically is a blank canvas that can be modified in a million different ways. You start... Continue Reading →

Mediterranean Cucumber-Zoodle Salad

Have you been introduced to zoodles, the semi-recent food craze and healthy-eater favorite? I love these spiralized "noodles" of zucchini. We've made several dishes with them, and I think they work great as a noodle or grain substitute if you're into that kind of thing. What I don't think however, is that they are "just...
