Greek Yogurt, Dill & Sardine Toast

How is it already Wednesday night? I think I might give up keeping track of the days until March. I have a ton of travel coming up – a half marathon, a 90th birthday and work stuff. Plus tons of fun social activities. I invested in a day planner just in time. I am pretty […]

Tomato, Peach & Burrata Salad | PDXfoodlove

File this under “make it tomorrow.” There’s not a lot of time left to have peaches AND tomatoes. The end is nigh. Dave and I shared this for lunch, by the way. That’s a lotta burrata. And while I definitely *could* eat that much on my own, it’s probably not a good decision. I can’t […]

Roasted Padron Peppers

One of the things that I think I’ll miss most about going into the fall and winter season is the simplicity of summer food. I am sure there are simple winter foods as well. But right now when I can throw some adorable peppers under the broiler for five minutes, it’s hard to think about […]
