HOMEMADE FOCACCIA BREAD W/ A SUMMER TWIST
08/08/2023
I’m on a kick making anything I can think of to use up this summer’s tomato harvest. TikTok pasta, homemade spaghetti sauce, burrata with roasted tomatoes, etc. This past weekend I tried my hand at homemade focaccia bread for the first time. It’s actually pretty easy to make and very fun to decorate. It was another reason to use the tomatoes and herbs from my garden. Don’t let homemade yeast breads intimidate you. As long as you make sure your yeast isn’t expired, heat the water to 108 degrees (luke warm), don’t use metal bowls and stir with a non-metal spoon, you’ll have successful, delicious homemade breads every time. Use a candy thermometer to determine the temperature of the water. Don’t take a chance and guess if you want to guarantee success.
It took a year and a half from start to finish but it’s finally done (almost). You can see...

WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE & HONEY
08/03/2023
When I tried the whipped goat cheese at Rye Leawood, I couldn’t get the thought of it out of my mind after. It is so good! Thankfully it’s easy to recreate at home and is the easiest appetizer to whip up (get it?) for company. Just four ingredients (goat cheese, heavy cream, honey and salt) combine to make THE BEST appetizer. Serve it with crusty bread, sour dough, crostini or crackers. Don’t let the thought of goat cheese scare you like it did me. It’s smooth, mild and pairs amazing with honey and crusty bread.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
07/30/2023
Why does it feel like time moves 50% faster than it used to? How is it already August this week? I know it’s all in my head but I can already feel the seasonal depression setting in. Gray, dark, dreary cold days will be here way too soon for me. I’m enjoying the fresh garden veggies and herbs while I still can. If you watch my Instagram stories, you know that I used 10 pounds of garden tomatoes to make homemade spaghetti sauce over the weekend. I’ll be using the last of my broccoli to go with the Mongolian Beef this week. And I’ll put my cherry tomatoes to use in the Summer Pasta Primavera. Summer is the absolute best in my book.
