As August falls into the shadows and September brings us summer’s final lingering days, I find myself clinging to nature’s greatest gift during these hot and humid months, the tomato. And while I will happily indulge in an heirloom dressed in nothing more than its birthday suit, it is a perfectly crafted caprese salad that will leave me pinning for …
Foxhollow Farm Tacos with Pickled Vegetables, Goat Cheese & Microgreens
Tacos are so wonderfully adaptable, their malleability making them the perfect dish to experiment with in the kitchen. With that spirit in mind, this recipe takes tacos down a slightly different path… a path paved with pure grass fed goodness from Foxhollow Farm. Gone is the overly seasoned, overly processed, mass produced ground beef. Here instead the natural flavors …
Foxhollow Farm Sirloin Sandwich with Bleu Cheese Dressing
It’s difficult to find a more perfect pair than steak and bleu cheese. It is by far one of my favorite food love stories. Foxhollow Farm’s beef top sirloin offers up the ideal platform for a variety of dishes and this month I chose to showcase it in the form of an artisanal and rustic sandwich, a rich and creamy bleu …
Grilled Cheese with Mustard, Caramelized Onions & Bacon
At it’s ethos, a grilled cheese sandwich is all about an indulgence. This sandwich in particular is the definition of a splurge and I will not apologize for it’s decadence. I am certain we share the same feeling of nostalgia and contentment when pulling two halves of a grilled cheese apart, the cheese grasping hold, attempting to stay intact …
Macaroni & Cheese with Mushrooms & Leeks
This weekend we are ‘springing forward’ (don’t forget!), an annual signal that the end of winter is near and the luxury of spring and the blossoming of farm-fresh vegetables will soon be our reality. This promise of brighter, warmer days comes at a cost however, and we still have a few remaining dreary nights ahead of us. I find my …
Fried Mozzarella Bites
Fried Mozzarella Bites: my one-hundred-and-second post. The milestone of one hundred posts nearly slipped past me and it honestly took me by surprise. I’ve written one hundred posts? No way! I knew I’d fallen hard for foodie-girl but it was slightly astounding to see a record of this time, love and effort laid out before me. It was a numerical …
Parmesan Garlic Flatbread
I am aching to return to my routine. The past several weeks have been host to a plethora of emotions, compliments of a series of events. Punctuated by anxiety, happiness, fear, nostalgia and overwhelming gratefulness, blogging was set aside and my attentions were turned elsewhere. Focused on family and friends, I escaped to St. Simons Island and Destin, Florida for …
Pizza with Pineapple, Prosciutto & Jalapeno
This post almost makes me feel guilty. Almost. If it didn’t taste so wonderfully, impossibly good then it would feel like a cop-out. Far too easy to be worth-while for you all, my darling foodie-friends. However as hard as I try, I continue to fail – I cannot make this any more complex. Alas, it is what it is… simple …
Seared Tuna with Watermelon, Feta & Avocado Salsa
Summer has arrived! It teased us with a blast of heat in early March, whetting our appetites for long days in the sun, aimless hours lost in the pages of a book. My most favorite summer-time moments are spent at my in-law’s house, or in their garden, rather. Lounging by the pool with a view of the lake peaking through …
Caprese Panini
It is no accident – there isn’t much to this panini – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Just delicate, distinct, delicious flavors. Flavors that bring comfort, warmth, happiness. For me, perfection is defined in a meeting of the Italian trinity – mozzarella, tomato, basil. The truest form of individual ingredients playing the part that nature intended, shining …
