Sweet Bread and Butter Pickles are my favorite kind of pickle. These little beauties are so good that I ate an entire jar shortly after they’d all been processed.
Sweet Bread and Butter Pickles
Month: August 2013
Fresh Grilled Peaches
This is a simple dessert. Our friend Sara brought these sweet peaches back from the east side of Washington – Naches, outside Yakima. Fresh grilled peaches taste like the smoky essence of a late summer evening barbecue. They’re simplicity to make, and the perfect topping on a bowl of frozen yogurt. They taste lovely eaten indoors too, but are most special eaten beside the embers of a campfire.
Garlic Shrimp Tacos with White Sauce
Garlic shrimp tacos are so easy, so delicious, and so fast. They’re one of our go-to dinners during the summer. They barely heat up the kitchen and they’re so so good. Plus, we seem to have an influx of bay shrimp from our seafood CSA right now, so they’re a great way to enjoy the little pink sea critters.
Cantaloupe Gazpacho
We meant to make honeydew gazpacho, but we think this actually may be cantaloupe gazpacho. The exterior of the melon certainly looked distinctly honeydew-like, but the inside looks and tastes like cantaloupe, so we’re just acting like that’s what we meant to make all along. This is great served alongside fish tacos…
Beet Salad with Goat Cheese & Arugula
Are beets overrunning your garden? Here’s a beet salad that’s earthy and fresh – the sweetness of the beets plays off the spicy arugula and the rich goat cheese.
Broccoli Raab on the Grill
Our broccoli raab grew in prodigious quantities, and then just as quickly as it had arrived, it bolted – thanks to the Seattle heat wave – and was done. Before it left, we ate a lot of it. Broccoli raab (also called rapini) is in the brassica (mustard) family, and grilled, it has a uniquely peppery, smoky, slightly spicy flavor. It is delicious!
