First of all. I recognize that this just looks like a pile of melted cheese. But – it isn’t. It is so much more than that. It is a tomato pie. Tomato Pie has been sitting on my kitchen to-do list for about a month. Pretty much ever since the moment I knew it existed.…
I’m going to admit that I’ve slightly overdone it with the tomatoes, burrata, and pretty much pesto of any form. It is pretty much the only thing that I’ve eaten for several weeks now. The fact that I’ve tired of burrata is terrifying to me. But – this season is fleeting and I’d rather eat…
I am not a chocolate person per say. I skew bacon and salt. I know those aren’t the same – but it’s true. I have an addiction to salt. I got it from my grandmother along with night terrors – both great traits. I’m a real catch. All that being said, I have frequently send…
So – I pretty much only eat pesto based meals these days… But that is what happens when the tomatoes are ripe and the basil is plentiful. A few weeks ago I bought a giant pot of basil from Aubuchon for $7. Since then I’ve been swimming in basil. I can make two batches without…
On Saturday, I casually whipped up this seared pesto-y cod dish. It was great. Well on the way home from work last night, I realized I was either having cod for dinner…. or it would end up in the trash. The benefit of buying fresh fish is that you could put it in the freezer….…
The garden has been slow going this summer. Each week I think it’s going to be the week all the tomatoes turn red… but not yet. I was able to pull out a handful of cherries, grapes, and romas but not the treasure trove I’m excited for. Meanwhile, I was texting with a girlfriend that…
This recipe has been sitting on my kitchen counter for over a month – so it’s good that I finally got to it I guess. The original recipe called for raspberries but there is no good reason for that – especially when you have perfectly ripe and freshly picked blueberries. I was on vacation for…
I had a bunch of ladies over for dinner one night recently. I was racking my brain a bit to figure out the optimal menu for the occasion. When we go out to a restaurant, we often all end up getting burgers – but that just didn’t feel right for a fun summer girls night.…
After making this dessert, I learned something terrifying. Rice krispy treats pretty much never “go bad”. I’m unwilling to admit how long they lasted for but I will say you could safely make this dessert a week in advance. Which in my book makes this even more of a home run than it naturally is.…
I’m going to be honest. Out of all the things I made for our 3rd of July party, I was the least interested in this one. Like, when I was listing out the different items I would always close it with “oh… and a caprese orzo salad”. I figured it was the dish that even…
