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,…

We’re nearing the end of asparagus season, but if you’re like me, and haven’t had *quite* enough asparagus this season, here’s your chance to wrap things up with a bang! (Not to mention that this Memorial Day you might be looking for something slightly different than the standard burgers on…

A keen eye may have noticed a different background, dishes, and hand in this post 😉  This post is documented from an “on the road” photoshoot at my friend Emily’s house in the bay area. We don’t get up to the bay area enough, but when we do it’s always amazing.…

I just kind of feel like I need to acknowledge the elephant in the room here: Donald Trump is going to be our president. (No this isn’t a political blog and I really am hoping not to alienate any readers by making a few comments here). But holy. what?!. just.…

And here I am 2 weeks after my last 2 week delay in post travesty.  I’m so sorry guys!  But there are reasons behind these delays. I completely ran out of back-logged photos.  And if you are a food blogger, you will know how annoying that situation is.  That means that…

It seems like lately I’m basically pescatarian.  And by pescatarian I mean I would be content to live on a diet of sushi and chocolate.  But sometimes I just need to have a huge plate of carne asada fries… (So I guess what I’m saying is that I’m not pescatarian at all).…

Happy 4th of July everyone!  I really couldn’t bring myself to do a red, white, and blue recipe.  (I’m just not sure that the crafty-cutesy holiday themed recipes are in my blood). But! I did give my mom a little iphone preview of this tart and she immediately said “it’s…

I know I must have kept you on the edge of your seats wondering what I was going to make to feature apricots after my Seasonal Spotlights post (I’d better be careful or Seasonal Spotlights might just turn into a series 😉 ).  Well, you didn’t need to wait long for my…

Have you all jumped on the reverse searing bandwagon?  Because until now I had not. I’ve read about it numerous times, but when push came to shove I always fell victim to my poor planning and the beef in my fridge would begin calling to my hungry belly and instant gratification would…
