Farro "Risotto" with Parmesan & Pea Shoots
Eating intact grains – as Summer Tomato refers to them – is not the same as eating foods labeled as “whole grain.” Intact grains are just that, not ground into flour or broken into pieces. Filling and nutritious, intact grains are a whole food, as well as a healthy, busy cook’s best friend. Cook them…
Minneapolis Farmer’s Market Bounty
I made my first trip of the season to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market yesterday, total blast. I strolled around with a big grin on my face, happy to see such bounty so early in the season. I carried home garlic chives, pea shoots, asparagus, rhubarb, and a whole pound of freshly picked morel mushrooms. …
Blue Cheese Shortbread Crackers
I’ll confess a deep, dark secret. I love…Cheez-its. I don’t want to know what cheez is, and I endeavor to not eat the things (I forbid them from the house…most of the time), but I’m moved by their flaky, tangy, processed perfection. Addictive little beasts, grrr. But as tasty as they are, I’m obviously not…
Strawberry Shortcakes
Are you thinking about Memorial Day weekend yet? I am, and I’m thinking strawberry shortcakes. It’s a bit backward, starting with dessert, but strawberries are so perfect right now that I couldn’t help myself. Warm biscuits overflowing with juicy berries and piles of lightly sweetened whipped cream? Better than chocolate. Yeah, I just said that….
Happy Mother’s Day: Rustic Bread with Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil, & Salt
You read that right. Bread, chocolate, oil, and salt. Could there be a better combination? Could there be an easier combination? Mother’s Day, any day, simply beautiful. Slice crusty bread into thin slices, drizzle with really good olive oil. Toast in a hot oven until crisp and golden, scatter with dark chocolate pieces. Now we’re…
Silken Tofu with Soba Noodles
This is a quickie lunch or dinner idea, very basic but satisfying and packed with flavor. Remember when I first posted Mark Bittman-via-Jean-George’s ginger fried rice and commented that I’d be riffing on the delicious theme for years to come? Well here’s one riff. I was so taken with the crave-worthy combination of leeks sauteed…
Easy Cream Scones
You might think you don’t like scones, and I wouldn’t blame you. Coffee shop versions are often hideous—crumbly, dry little bricks. Good for making you thirsty for coffee, I guess, but not much else. Unless… You bake them yourself. Yes! Don’t worry, there’s nothing to making these easy, delicious scones except a good appetite. They…
Happy Birthday Cream Puffs
We kicked off my son’s 14th birthday celebration(s) with cream puffs for dessert tonight. Few desserts are as festive and impressive as cream puffs – who doesn’t love them? They’re so creamy…and puffy. (Yeah, sorry, I’m a little tired this evening. Suffice it to say they’re seriously good.) And…
Leftovers for Lunch: Black Bean & Rice Burritos
When I serve rice for dinner, I make extra so I have leftovers for a delicious, easy lunch. Even still, given how much rice my family can put away, that means sneaking some out of the pot and into the fridge before we eat. I use the stolen rice the next day to make myself…
Good Muffin Morning
A sunny Sunday morning, coffee brewing, puppy lazing, paper waiting… Yep, time to bake…something. Not sure exactly what I was craving, I reached for one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Marion Cunningham’s The Breakfast Book. A treasure, this book, packed full of clever breakfast ideas and perfect recipes. Today, based on available ingredients, and because…
