Hello! How are you? Summer’s almost over in my part of the world. The rain has been making more frequent appearances lately.
Back in April I swore to myself that I was going to churn out all the summer recipes I’ve bookmarked over the rainy months. I failed, obviously. It was so hot! So instead, here’s a simple summer salad. :) Tomato, lettuce and watermelon with feta and walnuts drizzled with my favorite go to dressing: olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey.
I love weekend meals. I made this for lunch a couple of weeks (months?) ago. It’s one of the more successful recipes I’ve tried since I started cooking. My family asked for seconds and thirds!
Recipe from Bon Appetit. Enjoy!
Trip to the beach, check! I’m a few shades darker and I couldn’t be happier. Summer had officially begun.
apurplemoon asked: Hey, this isn't a question more of a statement. I love your blog! :D
Thank you! :)
I like lists. To-do lists, top-10 lists, and most especially, grocery lists. I like being prepared, but what I wasn’t prepared for was spotting butternut squash at my local grocery store. It was like seeing a unicorn, I swear. I forgot about my list and started combing my memory for ingredients I needed to make squash soup, one of my mother’s favorites.
When it was time to pay, the cashier scanned my squash through her machine and asked, “What is this?” She and the bagger had a good laugh when I replied, “Squash.”
Recipe adapted from Alton Brown.
Good morning! How’s your weekend so far?
Granola recipe from here. Substituted dried fruit with more nuts and added a pinch of cinnamon. There’s something about January that makes you want to eat healthy, no?
Happy New Year everyone! Here’s something sweet to start of the year: Christina Tosi’s Chocolate Malt Layer Cake. Yum. So sinful. Perfect for the holidays. (Also, yey, my first 3-layer cake!)
Enjoy!
