today’s refreshing watermelon gazpacho recipe is from sonja and alex of a couple cooks. their focus on whole foods, mindful eating and dedication to starting conversations in the online community about how we relate to food is inspiring to me, and i know will be to you as well! and watermelon gazpacho soup sounds like such a refreshing summer treat! {more after the jump}
this time last year we were anticipating our trip to milos, and right now i’m missing the mediterranean- the sea, the food, the people. so i whipped up this tart to bring us right back there, it seemed like the right thing to do. i am a forever fan of the combination of red onion, tomato and eggplant, they just seem to belong together, you know? while this tart may not be the prettiest thing i’ve made, i have to say it’s up there with the tastiest. the flaky savory herbed crust, fresh summer pesto, grilled vegetables and greek olives. i may or may not be salivating while typing this. hope you love as much as i do! xx- sarah {more after the jump}
ok, so this recipe has way more ingredients and appears to be way more effort than my normal posts. but i promise, it’s super easy and so worth all of the effort! (it’s especially easy if you prep the pesto in advance). best of all it’s the kind of dish you could prepare when entertaining and you’re pals would think you’re a kitchen goddess. that’s always worth a bit of extra effort! i would probably spend an entire day in the kitchen for the chance to enjoy this herb crusted goodness, so there’s also that.
hello everyone! i’m so excited to share today’s guest post from laura of the first mess! she makes the most amazing, garden-centric foods that i know you’re going to love as much as i do! and this dish is no exception. can’t wait to whip it up when i get home- it’s the perfect summer lunch. and a meal doesn’t get much prettier than that, in my opinion! thank you so much laura! xx- sarah (more after the jump)
i didn’t intend for this to be a recipe post, i was just making lunch. but when i saw how beautiful the plate looked i knew there was no way i couldn’t share it with you! there’s few things sweeter in life than a perfectly ripe and heavenly heirloom tomato in the summer, am i right? this dish is one that’s SO simple, but with the freshest, highest quality ingredients it’s absolutely rich in flavor. and the best part, it can be thrown together in minutes, but the heartiness of the chickpeas make it a satisfying meal. light, refreshing, healthy, delicious and quick: perfect for summer eating! hope you love! xx- sarah {more after the jump}
it’s been a scorcher of a summer and i know you folks on the east coast have been suffering. so i thought, what would be the coolest possible thing, aside from ice cream/popsicles, to feed these folks?! and i came up with this: cucumber, mint, blended with lots of ice, some sweetness, and a bit of lime juice. SO REFRESHING YOU’LL FORGET YOU HAVE A SWEAT MUSTACHE THAT’D GIVE RON SWANSON A RUN FOR HIS MONEY!!!! and i’m not saying you should, but a bit light rum certainly wouldn’t ruin this party! xx- sarah {more after the jump}
hi everyone! thought i’d share the ingredients for the yums i’ve been posting on my instagram lately! since these are my everyday meals and it would make me bonkers to write down the amounts of each ingredient, they’re not full recipes. but i’ve listed out the ingredients (plus a few notes when necessary) and you can throw in whatever amounts make your mouth happy! hope you love! xx- sarah {more after the jump}
