two summer soups and one autumn treat ๐Ÿ‚


August recipe drop

This month: two soups celebrating some of my favorite summer produce are followed by a sweet treat that welcomes the approaching autumn.

First, a very French take on zucchini leek soup, made with Provenรงal seasonings and finished with a luxurious drizzle of Sicilian olive oil.

Next, my love for summer tomatoes in soup form! Roasted garlic adds a caramelized depth and a topper of lemon-pepper whipped cream makes this soup decidedly dunkable.

Last but not least--Pumpkin. Spice. Blondies. Gooey and chewy, these bites are loaded with pumpkin pie seasoning and topped with a gooey schmear of cream cheese frosting.

See ya next year summer!

Fall, I've been waiting for you ๐Ÿงก

recently in the ๐ŸŒ™ kitchen August 1 marks the start of Lughnasadh, the traditional beginning of harvest season. A time of bounty and abundance. A time to start getting excited about efforts becoming yield. Concepts very much on my mind these past few weeks as we spent some time visiting family in the Midwest. Look in any direction out there and it's miles upon miles of cornfields and rolling row after row of soy. The sheer volume of it is humbling, in the best of ways. Knowing that each plant...

recently in the ๐ŸŒ™ kitchen May and June were quite a time. Between working through a flurry of migraine treatment options, then recovering from a small lumpectomy (nothing scary thankfully!), it has been a little more medical than usual around here. Acceptance of the fact that simply existing in this particular body of mine is its own part-time job (full-time? OVERTIME? ๐Ÿ˜…) hasn't always come easily to me. But I do feel like I'm getting there. In the meantime, I'm practicing giving myself two...

April's recipes in the ๐ŸŒ™ kitchen Well, it's been a few months since I sent out this allegedly "monthly" email. A lot has happened! The site got a big upgrade (as did the extent of my technical expertise ๐Ÿค“) and I've been learning my way around a new camera. In the midst of it all, lots of goodies have gone up recently. Indulgent Pink Peppercorn Shortbread and Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies, balanced by solid dinner options like Chimichurri Pork Chops and Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs. Plus, a recipe...
