Lemony Orzo with Roasted Broccoli

Brad’s second most frequently requested dish is roasted broccoli. (Jones Home trivia: his most requested is tacos.)  This recipe takes that often unappreciated side dish and makes it the star of the show.

Filling and Fresh Blueberry, Kale, Quinoa Salad

This has been our salad of the summer: simple and fresh but perfectly satisfying. Torn kale gets massaged with olive oil and lemon juice, tossed with sweet blueberries, hearty quinoa, sliced almonds and crumbled feta. I’ll sometimes use Trader Joe’s honey-roasted sliced almonds for an extra bit of sweetness. If you haven’t fallen in love…
