Are you totally sick of seeing tomatoes and zucchini in EVERY SINGLE POST? Because I hear ya. But first we gotta talk about this salad. Omg. I didn’t rightly know what was going to unfold when I made this salad. Didn’t really have a plan or an agenda. All I knew at that moment in […]

Fried Zucchini Chips
It all started one unassuming summer afternoon. (Oh great, is she seriously going to tell us one of her blah blah blah omg and then this craaaazy thing happened stories that make me want to arrange teeny grenades inside my eardrums?) THAT’S RIGHT CHACHI, SO SIT. Sorry to scream at you. It was Sunday afternoon. […]
Garden Veggie Pizza with Kale Pesto and Brie
I’m pretty sure that food might be the last thing anyone in America wants to look at right now. But see it’s pizza, which one might deem a double blorbalicious whammy, but wait. It’s not. It’s tricky math really. It goes like this. The sum of the firecracker pops plus the amount of brats you […]
Raw Kale Salad with Garden Vegetables and Wild Rice
Remember the scene in Sex and The City where the girls go to that new restaurant called Raw and Miranda was all, “This is like lawn in a bowl.”? Yeah, see you’re not gonna say that here. (Unless you want to because omg it was hilarious.) And remember in another scene when Samantha goes back […]
Bucatini with Chicken Sausages and Garden Veggies
You know what the old saying is, don’t you? “When your garden has a high birthrate, immediately add to carbohydrates.” Oh you didn’t learn that in the school of lessons and life? Yeah, it was right after we learned that throwing empty locust shells on your little sister at bath time would prooooobably land you […]
Summer Garden Vegetable Pie
Is your computer screen’s brightness turned all the way up? Check real quick. No? Okay turn it up. I’ll wait. I MEAN JUST LOOK. Sometimes when I’m editing on the sofa I won’t have my laptop plugged in and I’ll edit all these photos and think, eeeeh. And then I remember that since it’s not […]
Spicy Beef and Basil with Vermicelli Noodles
Oh hey guess what! It’s only 1,462 degrees here in Kansas City. And my hair has never looked more stunning. I used to be SUCH a summer-lovin’ gal, back in my ripe years. I lived in New Mexico, rode my faded red Schwinn at like TWO O’CLOCK in the stale, breeze-less July afternoons, with no […]
Dehydrating Tomatoes 101:
Sert it and ferggert it. That’s set and it forget it, MOM. She’s like, WHAT WENT WRONG AT CHILDBIRTH? So, do you guys have a dehydrator? I’m only 1,025% obsessed with mine. Get this, we found ours about a hundred years ago at a thrift store! It was like $.06 with no dead rats in […]
Open-Faced Vegetable and Prosciutto Melts
Our garden is already absolutely insane. Just look at this. It might not look like much to the naked eye, but I can assure you, it’s pretty tow up. And oops, in need of weeding. This isn’t even the entire thing! We have little beds along most of the fences. Of tomatoes. Of course. Each […]
Green Tofu Curry with Brown Rice
I have a bone to pick with tofu. You know how when you go to a Thai restaurant with your vegetarian friend and he/she orders something with tofu in it and it comes back to the table all beautifully nestled in a vibrant sauce with colorful vegetables and the tofu is in DISGUSTINGLY PERFECT little […]
