Challenge: Vegetables (Kitchen Bootcamp August) + Tomato Eggplant Frittata

My husband and I have really cut back on the amount of meat that we eat, and we eat our share of meatless meals each week.  I don't know about you, but I find it much easier to eat vegetarian in the summer when I have a lot of ...

If you read my piece on baking with butter over at In Jennie's Kitchen a few months ago, you already know that I am a big fan of Michael Ruhlman's book Ratio.  It has definitely freed me from always being tied to a recipe or cookbook.  ...

Mac & Cheese with Baked Heirloom Tomatoes

It's rough being married to a food blogger...  Just ask my husband. Honestly, though, he's a really good sport when it comes to my food blog.  He is willing to try just about anything I make, and rarely complains about things that don't work out as planned.  He also puts ...

Tomato, Pepper, and Jack Soup

In the past week or two, it seems that both our garden and our CSA have started booming with tomatoes. I have already frozen as much tomato sauce as I can possibly pack into my freezer.  So, I decided to tackle some tomato soup.  It might not sound like a ...

Friday Favorites – Episode 21

I missed last week's Friday Favorites post because I had the flu, but this week, I am back in full force!  The worst part about being sick was that I couldn't stand even the thought of food.  Needless to say, reading and blogging about food was completely off limits. Fortunately, ...
