Rosemary Honey Sweet Potato Hash: My Diary of Us

I could maybe eat breakfast for every meal of the day. I love sweet, I love savory, and I really love when I get a little bit of both. I'm not one of those people who's always is in the mood for salty or always sweet...I could do either and for the most part it just depends on the day. Also, I love potatoes...all of 'em. Yellow, purple, sweet, red, white, golden...whatever give them all to me. I am most definitely a "I'll take a side of hash browns with my breakfast" kind of gal. Which is why I love a good hash. Hashes like this rosemary honey sweet potato hash make the world go round.

When you start your day off with a hash and then top it with a fried egg you are guaranteed to have a fantastic day. You get the perfect balance of carbs, protein, and it is packed full of mouth watering flavor in every bite.

I have already confessed to you my love of corn and how I could eat it everyday. You could say I am on a corn kick right now, kinda like my blueberry kick that I just got off of. There is so much of it at the farmer's market and it's fresh and sweet and so great for any meal, any night of the week. Throw a piece of salmon on the grill, and we have ourselves a healthy meal that is ready in a jiff!

Most of the time I like to eat corn off of the cob because, I dunno maybe I like getting it stuck in my teeth? No, that can't be it...whatever the reason, I am not sure I even know, I like it. However, I found myself with 18 ears of corn (they are five bucks for a dozen, how could I resist) in my fridge and figured I should try something different with it. This is how my corn salad came to be.

This meal is perfect for getting you back on track after that holiday weekend that we all just came off of with too much barbeque and not enough veggies. It would be great for lunch or dinner and it's quick and easy for those weeknights when feel like you don't have the energy to cook something that's good for you.

It's summer which means that corn is in season, which makes me a very happy girl. Corn on the cob is one of my favorites and I could eat it everyday honestly. I like it boiled, grilled, roasted, sautéed...I don't discriminate. I can get it fresh at the farmer's market right now and it's so sweet and tender (I could eat it right now, for breakfast.) And since I buy a dozen each week, I wanted to turn the flavor up a notch so that I can get away with serving it several times a week! Hello Mexican inspired grilled corn on the cob, get in my belly.

Get ready for your life to be changed. I mean seriously this corn is amazing. It's full of flavor, it's healthy, and it's quick and easy to prepare! The presentation is pretty enough for entertaining, but easy enough for any ole night of the week to serve your family!

The flavors are so fresh and just scream summertime. It's the perfect side for BBQ, burgers, fish, or chicken...or you can eat leftovers for breakfast...I won't judge.

Fresh Summer Tomato and Cucumber Salad: My Diary of Us

One of my favorite things to do in the summertime is to slice a tomato and eat it all by itself, because for these few summer months tomatoes are at their peak and are so sweet and juicy. I just slice and add salt and pepper, simple as that! They become the perfect snack, or the perfect addition to any meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My other fave summer veggie are cucumbers that beg to be eaten just sliced with a little garlic salt or Cajun seasoning. My other favorite thing to do with these beauties is to make a fresh summer tomato and cucumber salad that is the easiest side dish to accompany any weeknight meal or summertime backyard BBQ's.

Meet Kallie and Lauren...the founders of the growing farm to fork delivery service, Country Table. If you live in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area you might already be familiar with the services that these two ladies are providing. If not, you need to get familiar...and I'm here to help you out a little bit! I had the pleasure of sitting down and getting to know all about, what they are all about and I couldn't resist sharing it with you!

I am a huge fan of buying local food and creating your weekly menu based off of whatever is available for the season and the week. You know where it came from, you are supporting local farmers, and it just tastes so much better!

Country Table is doing it right...bringing local produce, meats, fresh eggs, and even beauty products right to your doorstep, doing the hard work for you...all you have to do is eat it!

Pretty awesome! Just look at these berries!

The time has come people...the time where your breakfast world gets rocked...for the better of course! When I say this toast is the bomb diggity ricotta breakfast toast, I am not exaggerating...or maybe I am, but I don't think I am. I think you will agree with me after you try it out.

It's creamy, sweet, savory, sweet again and then spicy all at the same time in every bite! It is THE perfect breakfast combo in my book! The textures are there, the flavor is there, and honestly you could switch it up with any of your favorite fruits and herbs!

My favorite combo happens to be with thyme and berries. Oh man, it's so good AND...AND it's HEALTHY!! That's right it's super healthy and a great way to start off your day. It's a great balance of healthy carbs and protein to keep you full until lunch!

It's a quick fix in the morning, so you can whip it up in no time and make it to the office on time. No one has extra time in the morning to be fixing up some elaborate breakfast, now do we? I didn't think so.

Do yourselves a favor...try this out...fall in love...and then let's chat about our new found obsession together!
