I recently cleaned out my freezer and truly discovered what was hiding in the depths of those drawers. The answer? Blueberries and perhaps some real sad soup recipes that I have no intention of ever eating. Also, pounds of butter and not nearly enough frozen waffles. I love frozen waffles.
Ah tomato jam! File this recipe under “way too easy”, “fast”, “super unique”, and many other things. I first made a tomato jam back in 2012 when I lived in my very crooked North End apartment. I gave away most of the jars that I made pretty much because I didn’t really appreciate the diverse…
The original plan for this sauce was different. I was going to grill some swordfish and make some sort of carrot puree… and then use this sauce. But, then I got hungry and went back to my old friend the sliced tomato. Not any old sliced tomato of course, but my beautiful garden fresh sliced…
Man oh man. Everyone should immediately grill some tomatoes. Immediately. During the weekends, I repeatedly check on the tomato plants like they are children. I check for new ripe fruit, things to be trimmed, weeds, etc. Then the work week comes… and I only see the babes for a few minutes in the morning and…
For my birthday last month I bought myself two things from Amazon, a slotdog and a mini donut pan. Welcome to the 33rd year of my life. I used the slotdog immediately but didn’t get around to the donut pan until this week.
A part of me wishes this meal could happen any month of the year. Another part of me is just flipping thrilled that it only happens in August and September. Makes me love summer that much more.
I’ll never forget the first time I made pesto. It was like any moment when Ariel from the Little Mermaid is singing. Magic. So when I learned this week that there is a French version of pesto called pistou, I was pretty surprised. Long story short? It’s like pesto but without the cheese and thicker.…
It’s a week after Independence Day and I’m still missing it. So much so that it’s taken me about a lifetime to get around to posting this recipe. I’m a huge fan of sugar cookies. They are a bit like bacon. You always need more than one and you rarely regret it. I normally make…
Oh man. This summer cake could be the best thing that happens to your long weekend – or your Wednesday night. Either way, angel food cake is simply amazing. It’s so light and heavenly. The ultimate summer dessert. Then when you add a bit of coconut flavoring and some fresh fruit…. flavor fireworks my friends.…
God Bless America… and God Bless scones. Especially patriotic ones. As I approached this holiday weekend, I obviously wanted to bake. Prior years have yielded some great recipes like Raspberry Smores Pavlova (2015), Dutch Pancakes (2012), a version of Strawberry shortcake (2012) or this Triple Berry Breakfast Bread (2014). But it’s really hard to resist…
