The summer is coming to a close.
So, now’s the time to grab all of the fresh vegetables that you can. We had tons of baby greens, gorgeous tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, spring onions, cilantro and lime. So, we paired our grilled corn with a big plate of salad […]
Purple Potatoes
I love them. But, I don’t love the way they fade and bleed into soups and stews. So, I tried something different. I nuked them. Three minutes for the first try. And, then they went back into the nuker for another 2-3 minutes. Cook til fork […]
Blue cheese and pear turn an ordinary salad into something special. Personally, I think walnut and walnut oil are the best choice. But, pistachios and olive oil would be lovely, too. Some other choices might be roasted almond, hazelnut or macadamia nut. Hemp seeds would be fun to try as […]
Black Krim From The Garden
Gorgeous tomatoes picked fresh out of the garden demand attention. It would be a crime to hide their beauty. So, with a little thought, we decided migas would make the perfect companion. Even better, this is a great way to put some leftovers […]

Sweet, Richly Flavored & Delicious
The bright orange cherry tomato is a perfectly ripe Sun Gold. (The yellowy-orange cherry to the […]
Bread & Butter Pickles
I never can anything. I just don’t do it.
Some people are always prepared. I’m never prepared. You need to have jars ready to use. You need a good place to store your jars. And, you need to remember to USE what’s […]
I was shooting for something halfway between a blueberry muffin and sweet cornbread. And, I think I’m getting close. This was closer to a sweet cornbread with blueberries added. Those blueberries are dried wild blueberries from Trader Joe’s. (Love them! They’re not really dry. They’re closer to a dehydrated blueberry […]
Step one: Crack claws.
Step 2: Add condiment and spices. Toss gently to combine.
Step 3: Place lobster mixture into a topslit bun that’s been toasted and buttered. (Or, serve over a salad of baby greens for a healthier meal.)
