(Great) pumpkin spice waffles, bourbon-sautéed apples, and maple breakfast links from @pekarskissausage make for a great holiday breakfast. #waffles#pumpkinspice#suasages
Tomatillo braised pork loin with herby white beans and bacon from a @rickbayless6 recipe. The tomatillos and dried white beans (variety Pescia) are from this year’s harvest. Also basmati rice & green beans with Fresno chilis. #pork#beans#chilis
So the first small test crop of Italian heirloom dried beans is in and some are saved for next year’s planting. You can see the varieties on the sticky notes. All I did was plant and put up a trellis for them. Another batch was already used for a minestrone soup-that’s in another post. #beans
Part of a meal that we call the full steakhouse: martinis to start, a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing, pan-seared tenderloins with herbs, red wine, a baked potato, cheesecake for dessert.
Freeze some blueberries when they are in season and you can make this when the peaches are in season: a peach and blueberry galette served with a bourbon and vanilla ice cream. #peaches#galette#blueberries#pâtisserie
Special thanks to Haim (and Floweroflove) for a great show last Friday at Suffolk Downs. We were lucky enough to see you in Santa Barbara for your last tour/album. Truly an awesome performance! #haim#floweroflove
The Hatch chili season is so short, trying to squeeze in as many Hatch dishes as I can. Up now: Hatch chili mac and cheese. #hatchchiles#hatchchilies#macandcheese
It’s Hatch season! That last post was the suave for this: chicken enchiladas verdes made with grill-roasted Hatch chilis. Roasted a few pounds, used some for chili cheeseburgers and some for the enchiladas. #hatchchile#enchiladas
I am a firm believer in embracing the season. So why not a blueberry margarita with a lime zest & salt-rimmed handmade margarita glass, right Nick? #blueberry#margarita#margaritas#tequila
Still have a backlog of posts but since it’s high strawberry season we here at the Gift of Pie like to make a summer version of Victoria Sponge. This one has a sweet whipped cream & mascarpone filling, and a layer of fresh strawberries. #strawberry#strawberries#victoriaspongecake#cake
Since it’s asparagus season in the valley, two asparagus dishes for you: a ricotta and asparagus tart and a spring pasta dish with asparagus, snap peas, and peas. #aspargus#hadleygrass
Breakfast nachos, nachos for breakfast, nachos with coffee. Nachos for brunch. Yep, that’s right. Swap out the tortilla chips for potatoes. #breakfast#nachos#brunch
Baking a little American history here for ya folks. Joe Froggers, are cookie from Marblehead Mass Tavern owners Joe and Lucretia Brown. Joe was a free African-American Revolutionary war veteran. These are big cookies. Flavoured with molasses, rum, and salt water. Good stuff. #cookies#joefroggers
