Since we are just entering peak raspberry season (mid-July through mid-September) I was inspired to make a Raspberry and Butter Leaf Salad drizzled with tart and tangy homemade raspberry vinaigrette.

I recently picked up a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, after a friend on facebook mentioned it had a recipe for Kale Chips.

Beef and Garbanzo Bean Burgers

Where I live in sunny south Florida grilling season is year-round and so I pretty much have a “Clean Cuisine” barbeque menu for all seasons (I’m especially fond of my Christmastime grilled crostini with spicy shrimp and zesty cranberry relish…mmmm.)

“You eat potatoes!?” a friend of mine asked shockingly when I told her what I was making for dinner the other night, which just so happened to be my vegetarian sweet onion and root vegetable gratin recipe (served along with a huge watercress salad and simple lemon cod.)
