Squash blossoms are a seasonal delicacy that you absolutely should enjoy. These bright yellow flowers are the male blossoms that grow on various squash plants such as zucchini & summer squash. Every year I love to plant these vegetables in my garden not only for the fruit it bears but these beautiful, edible blossoms.

Who doesn’t love the pop, crunch & creaminess of a filled jalapeno? I sure do. These ones turn out deliciously perfect every time and since they are sliced in half, you won’t have the fillings dripping down your face in front of Aunt Sally at the next holiday gathering. AND, what’s even better is, they are BAKED, not fried!

A large, fluffy croissant topped with fresh, crisp asparagus, gooey gruyere cheese, a spread of dijon mustard, and drizzle of balsamic glaze… need I say more?
