It’s time to get grown-up about your summer watermelon. Melon salads that aren’t all the way sweet and aren’t all the way savory are all the rage right now, and I am here for it. We already dipped our toes into these waters with the […]
The first time I ever grew zucchini in the garden at our house, I was amazed out how quickly and easily the plant grew. It’s a plant that you start by directly sowing the seed into the ground, not by starting the plant indoors first […]
In Tennesse, peak summer produce has finally started to arrive. If you follow along with me on Instagram you may have seen my epic haul from the farmers market yesterday – I went a little crazy and came home with tomatoes, peaches, beans, zucchini, edamame, […]
There are few things I enjoy more than slow Saturday mornings spent perusing a farmer’s market. They are my favorite place to find unique ingredients. And if I find myself in a cooking rut, they spark creativity in a way no Pinterest perusing or cookbook […]
