Waffled vegetables
Zucchini and red bell pepper get the waffle iron treatment.

Grilled Cactus Paddles (Nopales)
Nopales are the paddles of oputina (prickly pear) cactus, commonly found in Mexico. In this recipe, they are great grilled and taste a little like green beans.

Radish and Basil Compound Butter
I grew up eating my grandmother’s fresh baked bread, smeared with salted butter and slices of crispy radishes. Using that as inspiration, I created this Radish and Basil Compound Butter that is so simple to make and quite beautiful with the pink and green flecks. Whether served on light as air bread, crackers or a perfectly seared steak, it adds something special.

sauteed brussels sprouts without a recipe
I know it's Spring, but there were some beautiful organic brussels sprouts in the market which I couldn't pass up. But, since it *is* Spring, I didn't want to roast them as a winter vegetable. I decided to stir-fry them as I would any spring vegetable, with some olive oil and a little spice. Quartering the sprouts results in lots of loose leaves which crisp up beautifully while the centers get silky. The whole thing took 15 minutes to whip up and was completely gobbled up in 2 by the twin teens. I used a half pound of Brussels sprouts, you can use as much as you want to feed more people!

roasted sweet bell pepper salad
a famiglia tradition for years, this is one of my favorite summer recipes to eat with pretty much any protein or vegetable sides.

Gingery Beet Smoothie
I have never been terribly into vegetables in smoothies (or that into smoothies, actually), but a friend and co-worker brought a beet smoothie into a meeting the other day, and I was so intrigued I got some instructions from her and then made my own version to try. It's different, but I like it!

Grilled Peach Salad
Quick, easy and flavorful are the key words to summer sides! I was grilling a pork tenderloin one night and wanted something to go with it that was as little work as possible with the most flavor, this is it for sure!!!!

Caribbean Coconut Milk Corn on the Cob
This is my dad's recipe from Trinidad. While my mom did most of the cooking, it was my dad's job to make corn on the cob. He did so perfectly in coconut milk.
Raw Vegan Cauliflower Tabbouleh
This is my go-to dish for last-minute party dishes. Don't need to turn on the oven or stove. Made with simple ingredients and so refreshing. A definite crowd pleaser! Make the dish ahead of time to allow the salad to marinate in the dressing. Tastes better as it sits in the fridge. Added boost of protein: hemp seeds.
5-Ingredient Broccoli Stem and Kale Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts:
Don't know what to do with those broccoli stems? Make this refreshing, crunchy, spring or summer salad to share at your next family picnic or gathering. Just 5 main ingredients and can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less!! Freshly roasted hazelnuts add an extra crunch element to the salad.

A Piece-a Pizza Corn!
This is sort of a silly recipe, but a fun way to use the corn which we will no doubt be up to our ears in within the next couple of months (pun 100% intended). The proportions can easily be adjusted to your liking. The finished product is ultimately an interplay of sweet corn, tangy tomato, and salty cheese - and tastes almost like a piece of pizza!

Pronto Pesto Corn on the cob
Why butter your corn on the cob, when you can really give it flavor with Pesto Sauce
Bacon Wrapped BBQ Corn
This is on the grill, a great addition to the average BBQ. It's not the same old corn on the cob, great as it is, this just takes it HIGHER!!!

Carrot Orange Juice with Mango
Simple ingredients combined to provide you with an explosive fresh flavor.

Pickled Radishes with Black Peppercorns

Sweet Corn Ice Cream
Nothing beats Colorado sweet corn! A dry climate means the corn is less watery, making each kernel pack a more sugary, corn-y punch. I like to serve a scoop of this ice cream on top of half a grilled peach!

Muhammara / Roasted Bell Pepper and Walnut Dip
Roasted bell pepper and walnut dip -specialty from Middle East

Raw White Corn and Arugula Salad
There is nothing better than sweet corn in the summer. This is a simple salad that features this warm weather staple. I love to make it as a side for barbecues and picnics.

Radish and Butter Tartine
Don't mess with perfection.

Perfect Corn Soup
Sweet corn kernels are stripped of their cobs and blended with a lovely amount of homemade corn stock. After straining through cheesecloth, it is thickened on the stove like a custard. Served in the summer evenings or for lunch, I top mine with shaved summer truffle or top with fresh herbs.

Ramps on Toast with Poached Egg and Ajvar
When I opened up Bon Appetit's April issue and saw a beautiful, open-faced sandwich of sauteed ramps and a poached egg, I had to recreate my own version. This recipe is based on the BA sandwich but with key modifications -- namely, the addition of Serbian "ajvar." Ajvar is my absolute favorite condiment of all time and its smoky, sweet quality plays well with the charred ramps and the luxurious egg yolk of a perfectly poached egg. If you can't find ajvar, substitute goat cheese, harissa, tapenade, salsa, or other condiment of choice. Either way, try this while ramps are still available.

Avocado, Lox, and Pickled Onion on Crispbread
Take a classic bagel with cream cheese, lox, capers, red onions and just tweak everything a little bit and you get this. Except the lox. Don't tweak the lox. Lox is perfect just the way it is.

Springtime Sweet Potato Soup with Coconut and Lemongrass
A light, fresh soup with minimal ingredients. A splash of cider and perfume from lemongrass (or just a squeeze of lemon) make this a bowl of sunshine. Serve with Sriracha for those who want to add a little heat.

Carciofi alla Giudia – Roman Jewish-Style Artichokes
In this Carciofi alla Giudia recipe, the trick to getting the combination of crisp leaves – nutty and golden – and a tender interior comes from frying twice.
