I realize that you may or may not know how much I love to cook. I do take pictures sometimes of what I make but I even more seldomly am posting them. I don’t know why. Well maybe it’s because there’s a lot that goes into being a food blogger. Except who doesn’t like oggling the pictures. And we all need some inspiration to be in the mood for food to make. So I’ve decided to give you a food porn picture-athon for today only. Enjoy!
Homegrown garden tomatoes went into gazpacho (recipe here) and homemade tomatoes sauce and got roasted by the cookies sheet full. Roasted sungold and grape tomatoes became my ketchup with my breakfast eggs.
Cooking peppers and onions and freezing the garden poblanos that grew like gangbusters.
Gluten free pizza has the best texture but sadly tastes like nothing.
Two years in a row I’ve celebrated my birthday with crabs. This years bushel did not disappoint. Sweet and fat and too many were left over. Accompanied by Maryland Silver Queen sweet corn and more slices of homegrown tomatoes with mozzarella and basil and our meal is complete.
I was raised on Midwestern breakfasts. Biscuits, sausage, and gravy. And poached eggs not pictured.
I thought for a moment these were my killer crabcakes sizzling in the cast iron pan, the recipe for which you can find here on this post.
But the biscuit recipe can be found here. And I’ve taken to using frozen salted butter chopped into the flour mixture in a cuisinart.
The resulting biscuits are to die for.
And a chicken, Portobello mushroom, and wild rice soup I whipped up recently because it’s become soup season now. Fair-the-well sweet Summer garden food. Hello heavier more caloric winter feasting food. We’ve missed you.

Bahahahaha well of course, that was part of my master plan Ilana!
Hi Shalagh! I love to cook too. For a gluten-free pizza, have you tried making a cauliflower base one? It’s really good, you can’t pick up slices in your hand, so you need a knife and fork, and it’s not like a dough really, you have to think of it differently, but it’s really nice. I posted a recipe on my food blog (this isn’t just self-promotion, I think you’d like it!) – https://sugarness.com/2014/11/18/no-dough-pizza/
I’m not really attempting to go gluten free Vanessa-Jane but I thought I’d try it. I will pin your recipe though and pass it along!
Yeah, I figured you weren’t really going gluten free because of the picture of biscuits further down! I’m not either, but the cauliflower pizza is just nice to try as a healthier alternative 🙂
