Yes, another food blog.
Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden is a cookbook we keep coming back to again and again, after discovering it during our Cookbook Club adventures. This recipe in particular, we've made a few dozen times. We initially tried it after getting some radishes, which is what the original recipe uses and a vegetable we don't often... Continue Reading →
8/28/22 Update: Our text from our original post/recipe is below, but the recipe is the updated version. We've made this one a few times this summer - it is fig season after all - and want to update the recipe just a smidge for how we're currently enjoying it. Plus new pictures! =========================================================== Ok y’all.... Continue Reading →
Got excited to make some elotes tonight, as part of our Fourth of July weekend grilling, but turns out we didn't have the cotija in the fridge like we thought. Our improvisation led to making this corn in the style of Mexican street corn, but with the flavors of Italy. Turned out just good enough... Continue Reading →
We're definitely adding Joshua McFadden's Six Seasons to our list of favorite cookbooks. And this recipe may just be our favorite one (so far) from there! We've been getting these gorgeous fairy-tale eggplants from our Farm Share this summer and, not being super experienced eggplant-ers, have been trying new ways to enjoy them. Not only...

Farmer's market season is here! We finally have joined a Farm Share, after wanting to for years. (See our farm's explanation for those not familiar with the concept.) We're hoping that this will help us to eat more locally grown and seasonal produce, as well as prompt us to try new items that we don't... Continue Reading →

And now I'm telling anyone who reads this post the same! These are SO good. Honestly, I never thought... Continue Reading →
For the few people out there who read our blog with any regularity, you already know that I love risotto. I love carbs in general, and the adaptability of risotto specifically. We've experimented with taking risotto in a lot of different directions before (see our other risotto recipes), but this summer-y version is a new... Continue Reading →
Happy Labor Day Weekend! The unofficial end of summer has arrived. You'd be hard-pressed to know that here though, given that it's going to be sunny and in the upper 80s. We're spending our weekend at "The Land" as we call it - in rural Amherst County. While we still have the last remnants of... Continue Reading →
Today marks my first full week of being home with the baby on maternity leave alone and Selim's first week being back at work. I'm learning that neither is easy. Selim has to get up early, after having frequently interrupted sleep all night, go to work all day, and be separated from this little baby... Continue Reading →
It's well documented on this blog (and if you know me in real life...) that I don't like/am mildly terrified of baking. But every fall, like clockwork, I feel the need to bake something with apples in it. It's a personal rite of fall passage, along with my need to decorate with tiny gourds, take... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
