Our culinary diary
I, like most other people I know, love a juicy summer watermelon. It is just so refreshing and delicious! I remember that my grandfather always used to (and probably still does) put salt on his watermelon, which I thought was absolutely crazy. I thought that salt would ruin the sweet taste. Through the years, I've... Continue Reading →
As promised, here's the recipe for the gorgeous salad hidden in the corner of one of our pictures from Saturday night's Patatas Bravas with Super Garlic Aioli! Ally's cousin Emily is responsible for this dish, and we're hoping this is the first of many of her creations we'll share on here (you should see some of... Continue Reading →
Holy *^%$ yall! We made fried chicken! We took advantage of this gorgeous summer day and went on ahead and conquered another culinary fear... homemade fried chicken. Prior to making this tonight, I typed out: "I'm 99.999% certain that we can't best KFC or any southern back road gas station's fried chicken, but we're going... Continue Reading →
During our years living in Columbia, we loved going to the Soda City Market on Main Street in downtown Columbia. Now that we live in Richmond, we've turned to the South of the James market for our Saturday morning perusing. For better or for worse, Soda City Market isn't exactly a farmers market in our...

Every time we visit my cousin and her husband, we always come home with more than when we arrived. They live in a more rural county, have a HUGE backyard garden, and freezers full of hunting spoils.

I love so much of the produce in the summer... Berries, stone fruit, fresh veggies... But the summer corn might just be my favorite! The corn I saw this week was huge and beautiful! I tried to take it home by the armful, but restrained myself and only took home 8 ears. Mind you, there's... Continue Reading →
Ok. Obviously when we share recipes on here, we think they're pretty good and that you should make them. But this one... I'm multiplying that sentiment by a million! These flatbreads are amazing!! Plus they are just a little bit fancy... Makes you feel like a fancy person, having fancy dinner. But the secret is, they're... Continue Reading →
This is such a perfect summer dinner! Zucchini is usually so large and beautiful in the summer. And if you or a family member has a garden, you know that it is abundant this time of year. People are giving it away, begging everyone they know to take some! Try this dish, which features the... Continue Reading →
When I think about a dinner that screams SUMMER! - for whatever reason, my go-to is fish with a fruit salsa. I don't know about y'all, but I always am more interested in fish in the summer - I can mentally transport myself to the ocean and pretend that fish just got hauled in a... Continue Reading →
