Here’s a lovely lunch that came straight from the farmers market this weekend. I managed to sneak in a shopping trip right before it started to pour on Sunday – where did our early summer go? We have such a short window for garlic scapes – I knew I had to snag some before they […]

Pesto, Leek and Mushroom Pizza

Here’s another piece of our lovely weekend with Callie and Aaron. We got most of the ingredients on this pizza at the Portland Farmers Market last Saturday morning, before it started raining. I guess I’m not really sure if the toppings on a pizza count as a recipe, but what the heck. Let’s call them […]
