Summer produce is colorful, juicy, sweet and succulent. And we only have a few weeks left of some of our favorites: peaches, corn, tomatoes and those delicious little red potatoes. So let’s use these recipes below and host a backyard barbecue or just make it for your family.

These HEALTHY recipes will make you rethink what healthy food means, trust me. They are absolutely mouth-watering and delicious! I also sourced 90% of the ingredients from our local markets here in Pittsburgh (Bloomfield is my favorite!).

Easy. Makes 3-4 servings.

Corn, Peach & Tomato Carpaccio with Mozzarella

This salad has something for everyone: sweet peaches, hearty sweet crunchy corn, bright tomatoes, herbaceous basil oil and creamy cheese. It’s a hit.

Whoever said no good story started with a salad has never had one of mine. (It was me, I used to say that).

But here’s the truth: I am not naturally fit or thin and don’t naturally reach for vegetables. I am not a chef, but I’m good at assembling ingredients. I put in the work. I believe in feeling and looking my best — but not compromising! So, here you will find good ingredients, real wellness, and fun!
