Once upon a time I had the crazy notion to start and run a farmers market. I worked on it for 3 years and 2 full market seasons. I felt like a summertime carnie – it involved a lot of set up and take down of tents and running around…
Easy Chocolatey Biscoff Semifreddo
I tend toward food obsessions. I’ll go through a stage where I eat persimmons and nothing but. Or chiles. Or I go mad-scientist making shrubs. Since we are officially into fall, this will likely be my last semifreddo recipe for the year. I wanted to make it something special and…
Soft Scrambled Eggs with Hatch Chiles
By now, I’m sure you think I’ve appointed myself as the personal prophetess of the almighty Hatch Chile. And what an appointment it would be. I can’t help myself… I just get a little chile fever and have to share. You’ve seen me go through persimmon obsessions and semifreddo phases.…
Hatch Chile Mint Limeade
So, first things first – this is our 100th post. I’ll just take a moment and give myself a mental pat on the back. We’ve made it a long way from our first post … Moving on. I get giddy over Hatch Chile season. I look forward to it for weeks,…
Tomahawk Steak w/ Coconut Oil Compound ‘Butter’
I had never met a tomahawk steak until a few weeks ago. Quickly I was faced with the question of ‘where have you been all my life?’ A tomahawk steak is basically a thick-cut, bone in ribeye steak, with the entire rib bone intact. The bone is frenched, removing the meat…
Cold Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad
It is officially the time of year when I begin to hate my oven. And my kitchen. And food in general. It is just too hot to bother. Summer is when the cooling staples come out to play: vegetable salads and watermelon, simple sandwiches and the ever classic pasta salad.…
Easy Vegan Raspberry Semifreddo
A couple of months ago, I discovered the wonder that is Italian Semifreddo, and then I went crazy. It began popping up every time we’ve had someone over for dinner ever since. I made it with strawberries and with peaches … The only drawback? Greg couldn’t actually eat it. He…
Simple Asian Duck Noodle Stir Fry
I recently came across this recipe for Soy Sauce Noodles from a pair of my favorite bloggers – the team from Love and Olive Oil. I had their recipe in mind as spring rolled into summer and a happy duo of unusual ingredients found their way *somehow* into my shopping…
Rhubarb Shrub for Cocktails & Homemade Soda
Rhubarb is a relatively new discovery in my food arsenal. It is so seasonal that it makes a flash appearance in early spring and by the time it ends up on my radar it is gone. Every year. So, I finally learned. I saw some and immediately put some in…
Shepherd’s Salad
Which salad reminds you the most of warm summer days and family get togethers and gathering around a table to load your plate? Potato Salad? Macaroni? Chicken? Can you taste summer and picture a lazy Sunday afternoon in front of you just thinking about it? I can. If ever there…
