Squash season is here, and while most people tend to prepare it cooked, squash and zucchini can actually be enjoyed raw as well. I find that for people who tend to not love squash and zucchini cooked because of texture, actually prefer to eat them raw for this reason. A squash salad is the perfect side dish to use up all of that squash you have in your fridge all summer long. This recipe for raw squash salad with feta and herbs is a fresh salad that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or fish and is easy to prepare any night of the week.

Summertime is here and along with your favorite macaroni salad, baked beans, pasta salad, and bbq…a classic potato salad is a must for the season. There are so many varieties of potato salad out there, but I love a classic potato salad that has good texture and just the right amount of dressing coating each bite. Potato salad is the perfect dish for backyard entertaining, picnics, and potlucks because everyone loves it! My recipe for classic potato salad is one that you are going to be making time and time again.

There are many ways to cook white beans including soups, stews, salads and more, but one of my favorite ways to cook them is southern style with a smoky ham hock where they simmer all day. This method ensures the beans get filled with flavor and get nice and creamy and delicious. These beans could truly be a meal of their own, but I love to serve them up with cornbread and my favorite collard greens. This recipe for southern style white beans and ham is going to quickly become a new favorite recipe to make when you are craving some comfort food.
