I mentioned yesterday how much I love to make pesto during the summer. It’s just so easy and flavorful. And, I think I failed to mention yesterday, that it doesn’t require turning on the oven… Or even the stove! Since pesto itself does not make a meal, a few weeks ago I decided to use…
If you ask me, summer just isn’t the same without some fresh pesto… You can’t beat a fresh piece of crusty sourdough bread slathered with some pesto. I could eat that for dinner… And, I think I have on a few summer evenings! We all love basil pesto… It’s a classic. But, there’s no reason…
Black plates on a wedding registry… Who does that?! Well, you’re reading her blog… And, you’ve probably seen said plates in many photos over the past few years! Yes, my wedding registry included black dishes… Plates, bowls, a creamer set, and even a few platters. I definitely got a few raised eyebrows and lots of questions as the…
I warned you last week that I’m obsessed with garlic scapes… And, also that I stockpiled them and had quite a few garlic scape recipes coming your way. Well, here’s another one!

Are you a leftovers fan? I’m not. Not at all.
There’s just something that happens to leftovers once they enter my refrigerator. They change somehow and become completely inedible to me. It happens with even my favorite foods… They enter the “cold zone” and are never the same.
I don’t like to be wasteful, though… And, I also bad making my husband eat all of the leftovers (though, he doesn’t have the same issues that I have). So, I tend to re-purpose my leftovers. For reasons I can’t understand, when I view leftovers as ingredients instead of just food to be reheated, I have no trouble using them up. It makes no sense, I realize.
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 fresh vegetables at my disposal. Between…
