delicious seasonal eats
In honor of Julia Child’s 100th birthday, I’m sharing my take on a classic French tart. My custard tart is a little over-the-top maybe, but it’s definitely worth the multiple steps and extra ingredients. ;) My Summers with Julia When I was a kid in the 90s and home all summer, I would often watch […]
The fresh corn last summer was less than wonderful. The heavy, unending spring rains drowned a lot of the fields nearby. When we did buy some corn from a farm stand, it was, as my husband put it, “pig food.” This year has been a different story. The corn has been fabulous. Juicy and sweet, […]
I picked up my CSA share from La Nay Ferme on Thursday and it was huge. We have some veggies from our garden and our neighbor’s garden, and now all of the CSA goodies. I’m in heaven. It’s so much easier to eat healthy when you are stocked up with fruits and veggies. With the […]
You guys. Remember that awesome vinaigrette I made a few months ago? And then there was the bottle of pickled strawberries? It’s the white balsamic vinegar. It’s my latest love affair. I love white balsamic vinegar with fruit. And I can’t help myself. We picked up a bushel of peaches on Saturday afternoon. The first […]
I met up with some friends a few weeks ago for lunch at Finca in Salt Lake City. I’m not up on all the new, hip restaurants in SLC like I should be. I leave that to Becky and then go where she recommends. (Note to self: spend more time in Salt Lake.) “Derived from […]
So…the original recipe for the Vegan Coconut Butter is titled “coconut margarine.” I don’t want to call it that because the word conjures up bad images of the toast of my childhood. This ain’t even close to margarine. It melts on your tongue–just like dairy butter, only with an ever-so-slight coconut flavor. I can’t remember […]
{This is from the archives with newly edited pics. Perfect for Spring and Summer, don’t you think?} I miss the blueberries we picked on the East Coast. It was so magical for my little girl to run through the bushes and pick off the sweet blue globes and drop them into her bucket. She loved […]
As soon as peach season ends, I’m eagerly awaiting its return. Peach season is my very favorite time of year. Two weeks ago the first freshly picked peaches from my favorite local stand, Allred Orchards, became available. (Believe me when I say that my eyes filled with tears as I turned into the parking […]
I Ever since I first read about Vinto Pizzeria early last year, I have been wanting to try it. We live about an hour away from Downtown Salt Lake City, so it hadn’t happened until last week Becky, also know as The Vintage Mixer or @slcfoodie on Twitter, put together a dinner for some of […]
While we were in Hawaii, I made our version of a Hawaiian Breakfast, or I should say that I made Aunt Robin’s version of a HB. Ever since we first ate this meal at her house years ago, my husband has been smitten with the artery-clogging, cloying breakfast. What’s on the plate? Spam marinated in […]
