No that does not say TRAPEZE. But the weird thing is, the little penne pastas kind of look like little trapezes, don’t they? And I didn’t even plan that. THE STARS ALIGN ON THIS GLORIOUS DAWN, Y’ALL. Trapanese pesto is yet another Lidia-inspired recipe. And yes, I’m completely obsessed with her, thanks. I think it’s […]

Rainbow Pizza and Truffle Fries with a Wine Dipping Sauce
I know. I’ve completely gone off the deep end. What can I say, I HAD A WEAK MOMENT. An incredibly delicious and colorfully cuckoo weak moment. Be honest, you want it. Lawk, bawd. Before your eyeballs attempt to jump out of their sockets because they simply cannot take it anymore, I’ll go ahead and give […]
Seared Lobster Tails with a Garden Vegetable Sauté
Oh gosh these old things? They’re just my big guns or whatever. I’m totally kidding! I don’t even own pink plastic water guns much less real guns that are big and scawy. So you remember back in the Februarys when Aaron tried to make me a natural born killer? Wasn’t that just a gas?! Yeah. […]
Seared Salmon Salad with Kale and Garden Vegetables
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 […]
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 […]
Chicken Shawarma
The first time I heard about this dish, I didn’t botch the name at all. Me, “I’ll have the chicken sharmwaramaramlarmawahllalrwah, please.” The waiter thought I was such a darling that he wiggled his naked toes right in my food. Have you shawarmalarama’d before? It’s basically a popular Middle Eastern wrap where you grill all […]
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 […]
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 […]
