Baked Broccoli
This is one of our most favorite sides. Baking the broccoli brings out a somewhat “nutty” flavor and it can be the perfect addition to a salad, pasta dish or just have it as a side dish. This recipe is simple, foolproof and well, downright delish.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- 3 cups broccoli, trimmed into bite-sized pieces (I usually make them smaller if they’re going into a salad)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt,
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Place Broccoli in a mixing bowl, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Bake 20-25 minutes
Warning: Once this comes out of the oven a few pieces will inevitably be consumed by passers-by, for this reason, I always add a few more pieces than I think I need just to account for the missing florets.
Happy cooking!

Delicious Chickpea Salad
This Chickpea salad is divine! We made it last week to accompany grilled salmon and it was a winning combination. It’s packed with veggies, protein and goat cheese too! It’s super versatile and you can add whatever veggies or cheese you have on hand!
Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 cup grape tomatos
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 3 green onions
- 1 avocado
- 3 tbsp goat cheese
Start by rinsing 2 cans of chickpeas. Slice grape or cherry tomatos and toss them in.
Next, slice half a cup of green onions and add them to the bowl. Follow this with one chopped bell pepper. I love avocado, and bonus for those great healthy fats, so the addition of avocado was a must for me!
Add salt and pepper to taste, and dress with your favorite vinaigrette. For a creamy treat, sprinkle goat cheese on top!

Enjoy this delicious recipe, it evokes memories of summertime on the deck. Warm weather and a nice cool glass of rose! Now that takes me to a very, very, happy place!
