I’ve always been intrigued by a panzanella salad, crunchy bread soaking up delicious juices of fresh tomatoes…what’s not to love. But it’s taken me years to finally get around to trying this! It did not disappoint! This is perfect if you have some leftover sourdough, or any crusty bread will do. This is great withRead more
Temperatures are dropping, so I spent this weekend removing our 4 tomato plants, and holy moly did I end up with a lot of tomatoes! Two large bowl-fulls. After a call out on my social media, I got a great suggestion to make Green Tomato Quick Bread, it totally blew my mind to think ofRead more
This restaurant-style salsa is absolutely delicious. This recipe was inspired by my Hungry Harvest. I received two bags of Fresno chili peppers, which I’ve never cooked with before. Husband isn’t a big fan of spicy foods, so I was a little nervous about what I was going to do with all these peppers. So IRead more
I wouldn’t say I’m particularly creative in the kitchen. I usually have a recipe and make some changes as I go, but I haven’t mastered the skill of assembling a meal out of the random items in my kitchen. But since I had some leftover filling from the Italian Zucchini Boats, I had to get aRead more
This is a fantastic new salad. Perfect for summer, it’s filling, packed with veggies, and so refreshing. While I made this with chicken I think it could easily be made vegetarian by substituting in chickpeas for the chicken. This is also great for mayo-haters. It’s easy to throw this together and can easily beRead more
Surprise Chemistry…unfortunately I’m not talking about the surprise of hitting it off with someone you’ve just met, I’m talking about my summer class. Just as I was finishing up Chemistry this spring, and looking forward to a relaxing, study-free summer. I learned that I had to take another chem class before I could register forRead more
Sometimes less is more. This recipe is definitely a supporter of that theory. You’d be hard pressed to find a simpler recipe, but this recipe definitely doesn’t skimp on taste! This tomato sauce is velvety, almost creamy tasting. While this recipe has a long cook time to let all the flavors meld together, the actualRead more
Gazpacho is a cold, raw vegetable tomato-based soup. It’s great for summer time, and is a cinch to put together. This is a great way to use up all the summer produce. I was able to use cucumber, zucchini and onions from my CSA, tomatoes from the farm we go berry picking at, and aRead more
This is one of my new go-to salads. I love the combination of whole grains and veggies. This is super easy to throw together and can be easily adapted to whatever vegetables you have on hand. The dressing is a simple, fresh, tart dressing that goes nicely with the fresh vegetables and slight nutty flavorRead more
This dip is fantastic. If you’re having a get together for Labor Day, you should definitely make this. Everyone will thank you. My dear friend, Becky, made this a while back for a baked potato bar dinner party, and it was super scrumptious! I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. So since we were cookingRead more
