Tabbouleh Salad (Rice and Dill Style)

Tabbouleh Salad (Rice and Dill Style)

I LOVE tabbouleh (and so does my husband) which is one of the few dishes that truly showcases the flavor profile of parsley, but when the craving hits, I often don’t have cracked bulgar wheat on hand. I originally intended to make this dish the 

Shokupan (Hokkaido Milk Bread) Arugula Panzanella

Shokupan (Hokkaido Milk Bread) Arugula Panzanella

If you find yourself with an abundance of leftover, semi-stale shokupan and wondering what to do with it, I highly recommend an Italian bread salad. This east meets west fusion recipe is a perfect breakfast if you crack an egg over it, or for a 

Spiced Tomato Chutney

Spiced Tomato Chutney

I was recommended tomato chutney as a possible recipe when my tomatoes started ripening in earnest. I have never had any before, to my knowledge, which is a pity because after this week, I’ll be canning as much as I could of this delicious condiment. 

Basil Tomato Grilled Cheese

And just like that, my tomatoes have started to cascade in red globes and spheres of all sizes, and with them come the abundantly delicious things I could make. Before I start the process of storing them (most likely dehydrated and powdered), I wanted to 

Garden Fresh Flatbread BLT (Bacon Lettuce Tomato)

Garden Fresh Flatbread BLT (Bacon Lettuce Tomato)

This flatbread BLT recipe is literally “garden fresh” as my tomatoes have finally started to ripen, and spoonfuls of pesto from my basil pesto were drizzled on (although you can absolutely use dandelion pesto). This is quite late in the year, as I usually have 

Fried Green Tomatoes With Pesto Remoulade

Fried Green Tomatoes With Pesto Remoulade

My tomatoes have gotten off to an extremely slow start this year, despite having had them in the ground since the beginning of May. They’re still green, and have made me impatient, so I decided to pull a few of them and make some fried 

Asparagus and Blistered Tomato Salad

Asparagus and Blistered Tomato Salad

Asparagus season is in full swing in my garden which means the sweet, nutty, why-does-my-pee-smell-weird spears are a common sight during mealtimes. In general, I like them simple, roasted with a little olive oil and lemon, a turn of the salt and pepper grinder. Very 

Fire Roasted Tomato Jam

Fire Roasted Tomato Jam

That bumper crop of tomatoes sitting in your freezer can come out when the wood burning stove starts roaring to make this delightful tomato jam. Paired with burrata or on some buttery biscuits, its tangy tomato-y sweetness is wonderful for a laid back brunch charcuterie 

Fire Roasted Pepper Caponata

The wood stove is nearing the end of the season but that doesn’t mean I can’t use it for a last hurrah. Roasting peppers in it is especially fun and easy, as I can just nestle the peppers into the coals/wood, close the door, and 

Shiso Burrata Salad

Shiso Burrata Salad

While shiso is mostly known as an Asian herb, it has many delicious fusion applications as well. It’s fruity, minty, citrus tones making a great accompaniment to this burrata salad! Serve with toast points and a nice, finishing olive oil for a slightly different but
