A Simple Roasted Summer Corn Salad with Pancetta

May 1, 2023 By the nourished nook

One of the perks to growing up in rural New Jersey, was the quality of local farm stands near our house. Every summer, my mom would take us on weekly trips to stock up on the essentials... everything from tomatoes, to watermelon, cantaloupe and the crème de la crème... fresh Jersey corn. A dozen bi-color, in a big brown paper bag, to be shucked and cleaned on the deck when we got home. Corn has since become one of the staple summer sides in our household. Whether it be grilled, boiled, thrown into a salad, or garnishing a taco, it always has a place at our table. Luckily for me, Tim ...

For the past two years, when it came time to sign up to bring in goodies for Halloween, I decided to pull together ...

Simple Whole30 Approved Zucchini Beef Enchiladas

January 14, 2022 By the nourished nook

January Whole30 is well underway and this time around I felt more prepared and ready than ever! In part, because this is my 4th time participating in this program, but more so because there are so many great Whole30 endorsed products on the market now. I was first introduced to Siete Foods through one of my favorite food bloggers, TheDefinedDish. I love their cassava flour tortillas and their grain-free tortilla chips are unreal. So you could imagine my pure delight when I found their taco seasoning and enchilada sauce in WholeFoods AND they both had the Whole30 stamp of ...
