    Easy Healthy Fresh Recipes from the West Coast

    Eating and drinking through the seasons. Recipes and musings inspired by West Coast Kitchen Garden fruits and vegetables, mushrooms foraged from nearby forests, seafood from our ocean and food from local farms. I make fast and easy recipes for busy lives while keeping the ingredients wholesome and fresh.

    Summer Fresh

    Summer is here and with it comes all the freshest fruit and veggies and ALL the reasons to grill. Try using your zucchini flowers on pizza or tear them over salads. Serve up crostini with garden ripened tomatoes or eggplant antipasto. Here are some great recipes to help you savor the flavors of summer right now!
