Yummy Salads

Plus, I've started a garden guide I'll add to throughout the year!

I’m always exploring ways to up my salad game in the summer. I love to add some sort of grain to add a little substance and increase the fiber and protein in the dish.

What I was not expecting was to become obsessed with Cheez-Its in a salad, but then my radio partner,

Stephanie March

, had to do this…and now I am upside down in writing a recipe for a Cheez It’s Salad to make on @jasonshowtv on Friday.

Here is the May Roundup of New Recipes:

To add a little variety, I decided to explore a new grain - wheat berries. Wheat berries are the whole kernel of wheat, with the bran, germ, and endosperm intact, and are as versatile as other better-known grains. Below are recipes for wheat berries in the Instant Pot, a tasty new salad, and a versatile lemon dressing. Try these grains out and let me know what you think!

Garden Guide

I’ve started a garden guide to add to throughout the year! The Hilltop Garden is ready for 2025. For now, you’ll get tips on planning and planting (but hurry, you’ll want to get yours in ASAP!), and stay tuned for updates throughout the year on maintenance, harvesting and more!

Here are some early Garden favorite recipes with Asparagus, Chives and of course my beloved Rhubarb.

REMEMBER:
If you pre-order my next book and send me your receipt- I’ll comp your subscription for the next year! Pre-orders of a cookbook are so important! What happens when you pre-order is all those day-one sales count towards the total books sold the first day the book “releases,” in my case, 9/2. All those pre-orders count toward your launch on “Best Seller” lists, which helps the book get seen and leads to more orders.
