Easy Gluten Free Broccoli Cheese Fritters with Za'atar Yogurt Dip

I have a love hate relationship with the time change. On one hand I love more evening light, but on the other hand it takes me a week or two to adjust to not feeling behind from the time I get up in the morning! All week i have been feeling like I just can’t get ahead of my schedule and I already know easy recipes are a must this week in order to survive! Fritters are one of those recipes that I love making because you can combine whatever you have in the fridge and make something super yummy that can stand on it’s own or be served alongside your favorite dish. My easy gluten free broccoli cheese fritters with za’atar yogurt dip are perfect to make any night of the week!

Citrus Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Okay we are sixteen days away from Thanksgiving y’all…can you believe it? Are you already menu planning? We will be heading to Louisiana to be with family, but I am always responsible for a few sides to bring to the table. I like to add some green to the mix whenever I can and while green beans are usually a classic, brussel sprouts make for another great vegetable option! My citrus bacon brussel sprouts are going to steal the show in the sides category and will convert even the non-brussel sprouts lovers in your family!

Avocado Crema Slaw

In case you were wondering, I am still here!  Sorry for the radio silence, but I took some time off because my hubby and I were in Hawaii celebrating our ten year anniversary!  I decided to put work to the side and just focus on the two of us, and it was so nice!  And now that we are back, I cannot believe that it is already June!  (The year is passing so quickly already, right?)  That means summer is just around the corner and backyard BBQ's are in full effect!  My avocado crema slaw is the perfect side dish to make all summer long!

Garlic Dill Tomato Salad with Cornbread Croutons

Summer is right around the corner and it's my favorite time of year for produce!  Tomatoes in particular are at their peak and can most definitely shine on their own during this time.  I love creating simple dishes when ingredients are so good that they just don't need that much more added to them!  When BBQ season and outdoor entertaining are in full swing, I love bringing lighter and healthier dishes to the table to balance out the rest of the spread.  My new favorite dish that I will be making all summer long is my garlic and dill tomato salad with cornbread croutons!
