Berry Baking Bonanza! Summer Berry Crumbles
Every time I go to the farmer’s market, I come home with more berries – yesterday I found strawberries still poking around, and raspberries and blueberries out in force. Man do I love this time of year! If you, like I, get a little carried away and buy far more berries than your family can…
An Ode to Breadcrumbs
Bored with broccoli? Tired of tilapia? Sick of scrambled eggs? Add breadcrumbs! A spoonful of buttery, toasty crumbs can make the most ordinary dish sublime. Like the portabella mushroom, endive gratin, baked eggs, and fried chickpeas, above. What began as potentially bland fare – vegetables, an egg, canned beans…
Summer Saturday Lunch: Gazpacho, and Poached Eggs Over Potato-Green Pepper Pancakes
Have I got a gazpacho recipe for you. This version is smooth and creamy (without cream), made crunchy with a garnish of minced cucumber, green pepper, tomato, and croutons. Serve it icy cold for summer in a bowl. Or cup – sip it while you fry a few potato…
One of my Favorite Summer Dishes: Saute of Tomatoes and Okra with Bacon
Since I’m about as northern as they come (I’ve spent my whole life in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota), I never knew how much I like fresh okra. But oh do I like it, it’s become one of my very favorite vegetables, especially in this simple, pretty saute. There’s nothing slimy about this dish –…
Strawberry-Rhubarb Buttermilk Pudding Cake
My friend Susie & I headed back to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market this morning. This time we chose a Saturday so we could breakfast on a bratwurst (relish, mustard, thank you) while scoping out the bounty. We snagged pea pods, green beans, okra, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, dried black lentils, kale, and pork sausage. Suz was…
Newly Minted: Almond-Mint Pesto, Gin & Tonic with Grapefruit & Mint
If mint over-runneth your garden – chives too, for that matter – then this pesto is for you. It’s surprisingly mild, luscious with toasted almonds and olive oil (no cheese). It makes a quick, lovely dinner, especially tossed with fresh tomatoes (as written) or a handful or two of your favorite lightly sauteed vegetables. (My…
Strawberries
Locally-grown strawberries are all over the Twin Cities’ farmer’s markets right now so get thee out to partake. They’re naughty good, except not naughty. Very few experiences in life can claim the same. Indulge freely as is or with a little cream (ooh). If you’re in the mood to bake, try Strawberry Shortcakes, Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie,…
Farmer’s Market Potato Salad
This salad – Potato Salad with Morels, Asparagus & Basil Vinaigrette – hails from the fantastic blog, Gluten-Free Girl and The Chef. Potatoes with morels, a killer combination, right? (Anything with morels…) I noticed right away that the recipe is wonderfully adaptable to whatever is in season, so when I spotted the first batch of…
Hearty Summer Soup
Asparagus is at its peak right now – don’t miss it! Grilled, roasted, blanched…all fabulous, but make sure to save a bunch for this lovely soup. (Or for this potato-asparagus frittata, which I posted last week.) Here’s a simple, flavorful soup that makes delicious use of spring and summer produce. In this version I include…
An Early Summer Night’s Dream
Here’s the perfect way to kick off summer: Get yourself invited to Debbie & Stu the Wine Genius Williams’ home for dinner. There is no lovelier place to be on a first-summer’s-blush evening, on the patio in their lush back yard, chatting with them as well as Sue & Louis Ainsworth, sipping incredible wine, eating…
