Garlic scapes are one of my favorite summer vegetables, for obvious reasons. I mean garlic, need I say more? However, I’m often getting asked what to do with them, and I get it, they are a little weird looking. Don’t let the weird looks stop you, they are a super versatile and delicious vegetable. This one in particular, is one of my absolute favorite garlic scape recipes. I basically use them in this stir-fry as you would a green onion, but more, because I love the flavor of garlic.

I’ve been seeing these Egg Roll Bowls around the internet for a bit and have been dying to try it out. I mean I love egg rolls (who doesn’t?) and honestly, I prefer most of my meals in a bowl anyway. This allows for maximum scoopability, you see. These days mama needs to be able to eat in .324 seconds before one of the babies has a melt down. It’s inevitable at this point….
Simple food is the best food.
Not just because it’s easier to cook, but only using a handful of ingredients really lets them shine. I love this recipe because it does just that, mostly highlighting the pastured beef. We have been switching over to all local, pastured, no-hormone meats, and while it’s more expensive the improvement in taste is quite noticeable. Not to mention, it’s summer and there is so much produce in season right now. I love a meal that combines quality ingredients with easy preparation….
Oh for the love of a good kale salad.
Admittedly it took me a while to actually like kale. It had its time in the limelight as the top superfood for a long time, and I just couldn’t get on the train. The leaves were tough, the stems woody, and it never did well in my garden. Then I began to learn the truth about kale.

Oh man, this weather. It’s 70 degrees one day and freezing the next, and then theres crazy day-long storms in between. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a cool morning that turns into a warm afternoon. It’s one of my favorite parts of fall, but when whole weeks are mood swinging worse than my 3-month-old, it gets a little annoying….
