I would love to say that we have lots of ripe, juicy tomatoes in our garden at the moment, but that’s not the case. It seems that the hot, dry weather we have had lately is working against me. And, of course, the groundhog that has learned to climb the fence isn’t really helping, either….
This time of year, I often start experimenting with different flavors of pizza. Sure, I love traditional pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, but once we start getting fresh ingredients from our CSA, I can’t resist using some of them on pizza. It’s still early in the season right now, but we’ve already had…
This week I’ve been making the mistake of blog reading in the evenings. Let me tell you… Repeatedly looking at gorgeous food at 10:00pm is not smart! I’ve been craving a midnight snack every night. It’s also made it difficult to pick just a few favorites for this blog post. There were lots of amazing recipes and…
It’s that time again… Time for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp roundup! This post is a few days later than I had planned due to my trip to Seattle for IFBC. While I had the greatest intentions of being able to post the roundup right after my return, I decided to post a few thoughts on…
Over the weekend, my mom and I went peach picking at a local orchard. There’s just something very satisfying about picking your own fruit, and it definitely couldn’t be any fresher!

During the summer, I love to make fresh salsa. We don’t have fresh tomatoes from our garden yet, and we’ve only had a few tomatoes from the CSA. So, I picked up a pint of organic cherry tomatoes at the store to make some salsa. I’ve never made salsa with cherry tomatoes before, but it…
Yesterday afternoon, I decided that it was about time that I tackle the mess in my basement. We had a big yard sale last weekend and got rid of lots of things that had been taking up space, so I no longer have an excuse not to clean things up. I’m planning on using some…
This week has been a good week for food bloggers everywhere. I found myself starring almost all of the posts in my RSS reader! As a result, it was especially difficult to pick my favorites this week. As I started re-reading the articles that I had starred from this week, I thought that maybe I would…
While I love to cook, some evenings I just want a recipe that is quick and easy. This quesadilla recipe uses leftover chicken breast (or a rotisserie chicken from your local market, if you prefer) for a quick weeknight dinner. Topped with fresh avocado salsa and sour cream, no one will suspect that this meal started…
