First, we started with one tomato slice per sandwich. But, it quickly became obvious that for these thicker rolls, two slices would be best.
Going into this challenge, we were seriously biased. We both though that the Black Krim would be the clear-cut winner. But, […]

8 Tablespoons (1 stick) butter, soft 2 Tablespoons fresh tarragon or chive, finely minced 1-2 Tablespoon parsley, finely minced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, […]
Biggest First Batch EVER!
This year our first batch of tomatoes was close to a full pint of assorted tomatoes.
Sweet, Richly Flavored & Delicious
The bright orange cherry tomato is a perfectly ripe Sun Gold. (The yellowy-orange cherry to the […]
Pesto, it’s not just for pasta!
Salmon, Pesto, Red Pepper Flakes
That’s really all there is to it. If you make the pesto from scratch, it’s even better. But, on a busy day, you do what you have to do. I always have homemade bread crumbs […]

This isn’t a perfect example of the sauce. Ideally, the tender leaves would be ever so slightly chunkier. But, that’s the downside of having a powerful food processor. Pulsing the processor as little as one second too long, that fine mince of tender leaves turns […]
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.)

In another attempt to keep it interesting for the left-over hater in my house, this soup is closer to a veggie chicken soup on the first day. Then, it turns into a richer, creamy split pea soup on the second. Cooking the split green peas for an hour or so […]
There are good things and bad things about these brownies. Let’s start with the good. As far as brownies go, they have a good dose of fiber. They’re very filling. And, they taste “fine”. But… And, this is a big but. Even with a hefty dose of cocoa, there is […]
