It’s August, for just a little while longer, which means the garden is full of vegetables just begging to be eaten. I recently made my first batch of Fresh Tomato Sauce; now it’s time to come up with ways to use it. I wanted a one-pot meal because my dishwasher is still broken. I don’t mind…

Fresh Tomato Sauce
If any vegetable can convince you to start your own garden, it’s the tomato. If blindfolded and given a sample of a homegrown tomato and a greenhouse one, I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought they were completely different vegetables. Of course, you have to live in a climate that tomatoes enjoy. Too hot, cold,…
Greek Grilled Chicken
This easy, delicious chicken is wonderful by itself with a side of Tzatziki, or cut up and served in Gyros. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe, which I’ve adapted from RecipeTin Eats, at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: 2 lb. (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs 3 large garlic cloves 1 lemon 1 bunch…
Tzatziki
A delicious addition to a summer meal! It’s especially good with Greek Grilled Chicken, by itself, or in Gyros. I like it best when begun at least 12 hours before dinner. That allows the yogurt and shredded cucumber to strain for several hours so that the tzatziki can be nice and thick. But if you…
Vidalia & Cherry Tomato Salad
This deceptively simple salad is really quite delightful! So few ingredients, so much flavor. The combination of Oliva’s Cranberry-Pear Balsamic and Persian Lime Olive Oil is one of my favorites. The tartness of the tomatoes and Cranberry Pear Balsamic is a perfect balance to the sweetness of the Vidalia. The Persian Lime oil smoothly blends…
Chocolate Ice Cream
Smooth, rich, chocolate ice cream. Homemade ice cream is so decadent and delicious. The only part that really has a learning curve is separating the egg yolks from the whites. You can buy all sorts of gizmos for this, but I think the best tools are the ones you were born with: your hands. If…
Spicy Peanut Chicken With Rice
I love the combination of peanut and ginger! I just can’t get enough of it. I’m having some work done on my kitchen this fall, so I’m stocking up on freezer meals. Neither Spiced Peanut Sheet Pan Chicken Supper nor Nutty Shrimp lends itself very well to a one-container freezer meal, so I needed to…
Black Raspberry Frozen Custard
If you’ve ever been to Abbott’s in Rochester, NY, you probably know that black raspberry frozen custard is a thing. Abbott’s first custard stand opened back in 1926, across the street from Lake Ontario. It was a popular spot for beachgoers in the summertime. They’ve since expanded to a handful of other areas, but…
