AIMEE'S PRETTY PALATE

Farmer’s Market Finds

With summer upon us, there is no better time to head to the local farmers market and produce stands to take advantage of the season’s best and tastiest offerings.

While butternut squash is considered a winter variety, I find it available pretty much year round and see no reason to limit it in the summertime. It is a wonderful side dish substitute for sweet potatoes served warm as in my Honey-Roasted Butternut Squash recipe, but it is also equally fabulous served chilled on top of a salad.

Typically, you’ll be hard pressed to get me excited about eating zucchini; however, my Shrimp and Edamame Zoodle Stir-Fry will have you running out to purchase a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) of your own … forgetting all about your aversion to zucchini. Just me with an issue with vegetables? That’s OK, all the more reason that this recipe will appeal to even the pickiest of eaters.

And last but not least, I’d be remiss if I didn’t end with something seasonal and sweet. My Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins use blueberries straight from the freezer and from last season’s pick at Blue Harvest Farms in Covington. I light up like a Christmas tree when the email goes out saying the bushes are ready for pickin’.  If you’ve never been to a u-pick farm, I urge you to find one and take the family. It’s a sweet way to spend the morning!

I'm not even going to complain about how cold it h I'm not even going to complain about how cold it has been in Louisiana when friends are having it so bad in Texas, but y'all... I had to pull out and dust off my Alaskan cruise clothes when we lost power earlier in the week. 🥶 We just aren't equipped down here. I've had ALL THE SOUPS on rotation including this Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle that has been on the blog forever, but got some new photos. Because if you're gonna be iced in, might as well photograph & update your recipes! I hope you are staying WARM where you are. 🥣 🐔 🥣

Hustle and heart may set you apart but Streusel To Hustle and heart may set you apart but Streusel Topped Banana Bread will get you outta bed. 🍌 🍞 🛏 High five for Friday and weekend breakfast on deck! PS: If you haven't sprinkled your streusel with turbinado sugar, you are missing out. It keeps the topping crunchy even after sealing the leftovers. 👏 🍞 👏

Temperatures are droppin' and my slow cooker is ho Temperatures are droppin' and my slow cooker is hoppin'! 🙌 Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup means you don't have to go outside to flip the burgers on the grill OR make your kitchen all burger-y by cooking indoors. 🍔 🥣 It’s also comfort food in a bowl and I think after the past few days, it's the perfect weekend embrace.

Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since it's been so long since I've been able to enjoy a good ole’ Olive Garden soup, salad & breadsticks combo, I took matters into my own hands and recreated the experience at home complete with Pasta e Fagioli. 🥣 Side note: Did y'all know they sell their OG salad dressing at the grocery?! 😳 Since I'm also attempting to do better with meal prepping and make ahead meals this new year, I'm freezing half for the next time I have a craving I can't control...or the temps in Louisiana drop without warning. WINNING. 🙌🥣
