Appetizer

Anyone have any of the last heirloom tomatoes of the season sitting on the vine (or fridge) just begging to be used up?? How about making them into this Garden Heirloom Tomato Soup?! This soup highlights all of the late summer flavors of perfectly meaty and flavorful tomatoes straight from…

I am so so thrilled to share this recipe for Vietnamese Chicken Salad (Goi Ga Bap Cai) with you all! This salad is one of those staples at most Vietnamese restaurants, and is usually served as an appetizer, family style, but I’ve been known to order it for myself as…

Fresh Tomato Tarts with Boursin – aka my summer tomato recipe that barely needs a recipe. It’s that easy, you guys! I’ve probably talked up Dave’s garden to the point of totally embarrassing him, but the garden keeps producing, and so I’m going to keep loving it (publicly). And today,…

Sadly this is not a pink-themed Hallmark Holiday recipe, but you might still enjoy this Brussels Sprouts and Navel Orange Salad recipe if you are planning on making dinner for your special someone this upcoming Valentine’s Day. As discussed before in this other brussels sprouts post, I have become quite…

Anyone else victim of the post-Thanksgiving I-never-want-to-eat-again syndrome? (I had these type of thoughts for approximately 5 minutes before starting to fantasize about food again..)

Instead of being titled Fall California Cheese Board we should probably call this The-Post-in-Which-Sarah-Went-Overboard-at-Whole-Foods post. But really, I’m getting so excited about the…
