where comfort food meets the farm stand
Right now is the time of year for a warming and hearty winter salad, like this bean and spinach salad! Spinach is great cold-weather green which can stand up to heartier flavors and I love it mixed with white beans that have been sauteed in bacon fat and tossed in a tangy, sherry vinegar dressing….
A perfect recipe for a hot, summer’s day or any day you would want a cold soup! Cold Asparagus Bisque has everything you would want from French country cooking – simple, seasonal, rich, and creamy.
Oven roasted tomato sauce is an amazing way to enjoy garden fresh tomatoes! Thick, rich, full of concentrated and intense flavors. This is summer in a bottle.
For a delicious meal perfect for a picnic or a dinner on the patio, try a pan bagnat! This pressed sandwich from Nice is not only easy to make, but it improves with age as the bread soaks up the dressing.
My Italian sausage salad is full of fresh summer vegetables, creamy burrata, and juicy sausage for a perfect summertime bowl dinner without heating up the kitchen! Add a bright, lemony dressing and you have meal worthy of putting into regular rotation.
