Every year around this time we find ourselves with an overabundance of tomatoes. We grow our own AND we belong to a CSA where we get pounds of tomatoes each week. We eat them in every way imaginable but this year we decided to take the plunge and make something with them we’ve been thinkingContinue reading “Tomato Sauce from Scratch”

Tomato Mozzarella Baked Zucchini
We keep getting zucchini from our CSA. We like to eat it grilled, roasted, in a pasta dish, as a pancake, but we needed a new idea… I found a photo on Pinterest that we totally took and made our own for Tomato Mozzarella Baked Zucchini, it was SO good! We sort of winged itContinue reading “Tomato Mozzarella Baked Zucchini”
Sauteed Shrimp with Arugula and Tomatoes
We still found ourselves with boat loads of arugula a couple weeks ago from our CSA so we decided to make this recipe.

Anyway – you wouldn’t believe how easy this wasContinue reading “Sauteed Shrimp with Arugula and Tomatoes”
Balsamic Skirt Steak with Polenta and Roasted Tomatoes
I saw this on my friend Martha Stewart’s Pinterest page recently and knew we’d want to make it soon.

The roasted tomatoes were just delicious, I would recommend to make those for a side dish withContinue reading “Balsamic Skirt Steak with Polenta and Roasted Tomatoes”

Nothing huge happened, just a whole lotta fun – beach days, pool days, dinners out, play dates, adventures with friends, vacations with cousins, sleepovers with cousins, a couple date nights, and ice cream – a decent amount of ice cream. Anyway, weContinue reading “Summer Send-off”

With hotter temps comes the desire to eat lighter food, right? And with that we are always searching for easy, delicious salads to eat for dinner that don’t involve pasta (even though I do love a good pasta salad). There are about a hundred versions of black bean and corn salads on Pinterest and afterContinue reading “6 Ingredient Black Bean Salad”
Shrimp Fra Diavolo
At a little seafood restaurant in Newport, RI called Scales & Shells they serve the very best ever shrimp fra diavolo – technically it’s seafood fra diavolo (with lobster tail) for 2 and it is just phenomenal. You get tons of fish but it’s the sauce that you remember, it’s the best with just aContinue reading “Shrimp Fra Diavolo”
