The first grilled pizza made it off the grate and for me that signafies the official beginning of the grilling season! Crows are fond of grilling almost everything (veggie pouches, fish, shrimp, burgers, kabobs, mushroom caps, etc.) but what gets us most excited would have to be pizza. What started off as a high anxiety [...]

Read more →It happens every year, the cold weather hits, I bring my potted herbs inside, and then they die. I can’t blame it on abundance or lack of sun because I have tried all windows in two different apartments. I even tried watering them frequently and infrequently; tending to them daily and leaving them alone for [...]

The skin has such a deep color you just know its packed full of nutritious iron- i couldn’t wait to get them onto the stove and [...]
Read more →It is (sadly) the end of summer. But before the colder months officially set in there is one of my favorite foodie seasons- tomato season. Tomatoes are gorgeous right now- and the crows have been snacking on big, plump, brightly colored heirlooms sliced onto fresh bread. I engaged in my own personal end-of-summer tradition this [...]
Read more →Everyone has their favorite grain and mine just happens to be Barley- I like its texture and ability to absorb delicious flavors without getting mushy. Barley Salads are great as leftovers and that’s why I make them so often; it’s perfect to bring to work for lunch because it allows me to avoid the dreaded [...]

Chip and dip platters, roasted veggies, kabobs, cole slaw, your almost full before you even dig into a burger or dawg. My new summer side dish love is the versatile pasta salad.
