Sometimes, your lunch is just so good that you want to share it with the entire world, like today. This is what happens when the garden gives you an overload of fruits (cherry tomatoes are fruits, right?); the thyme is from the garden too. This was amazingly delicious and even the pix came out better than usual. Not bad for a Friday!
This is, hands down, my new favorite bread. It’s another one of those (almost) no knead, bake-in-a-dutch-oven kind and it turned out perfect. It uses a King Arthur Harvest Grains blend (can he found here; a one bag of these grains is enough for 8 or 9 loaves). It adds a delicious nuttiness. Simply wonderful. And it looks darn right pretty.
Tis the season here in New England (although the conditions are mostly too dry) for mushroom foraging. As I say every time I post something foraging related, please do not eat mushroom that you have collected yourself if you don’t know what you are doing. They can kill you, or even if they don’t kill you, can make you really darn sick. I have been mushroom foraging since I was literally a toddler (I found my first chanterelles when I couldn’t barely walk), so not to worry about me.
So this weekend, up in Maine, these lovely chanterelles were found. I had enough for this meal and there will be one more recipe from this round as well. This pasta dish was very yummy and very pepper-y. Chanterelles are pretty peppery to begin with and then this pepper cream sauce was really lush. Four stars, I’d definitely make it again!
Bailey’s Irish Cream Toffee Bit Brownies! Just think how amazing these would be in a brownie sundae with a big scoop of vanilla (or coffee!) ice cream. I put a whole bag of both a Bailey’s Chips and Heath Bar Toffee Bits in the recipe, so they turned out almost fudge like. Extremely decadent. Incredibly irresistible!
When in doubt, make crumble bars, Kat says. Yes, I made more crumble bars. They are a great summer dessert or snack, come together in a flash and this time, I had some red current jelly to add from when I went picking last week, plus passion fruit jam. Have you ever had passion fruit jam? It’s sooooo yummy.
