A neighbors apple tree broke off a limb into our yard. Time to make some cider. 🍎🍏 Anyone know what this variety of apple might be? 😂

I have never grown #blackkrim tomatoes this big. They have been my slowest tomato plant by far but obviously worth the wait! These both weigh over a pound each!

Making a roasted tomato and fig sauce with Calabria peppers, more Spanish sofrito, and toasted up some Greek halloumi with my only zucchini and black cherry tomatoes 😍 plus a double batch of Tepache… international over here. 😂 🌍

Leftovers are always the best.

This is our well deserved brunch today, after a major clean up from a whole day Lamb Barbacoa pit roast yesterday for our neighbors.

We toasted up these delicious @maizseattle blue corn tortillas with some cotija and pulled lamb, then topped it with pickled onions, radishes, cilantro and Grants fermented jalapeño hot sauce.

My moms recipe for Spanish rice and beans with a delicious sofrito rojo was our side and we washed it down with a hibiscus lime cooler made with @seedlipdrinks spice.

DAMN GOOD cookin. Scroll through the images to see all the work that goes into this dish. Grant starts a wood fire at 6am and keeps it going for several hours before letting it burn down to embers. He then places the meat in the pit to roast for 6 hours. It never fails to be incredible.

Thanks to our neighbors for all the help and company!

I made these with grapes that grew off trellises, off cliffs, in abundance. They were incredible. I should make more 🍇

My lil veg patch is pretty happy right now. From scarlet runner beans and tomatoes to baby chard, beets, ground cherries and raspberries… with a few areas to add more seeds this week. 🌿🌱❤️🍅

What a crazy bit of fate. 🌿🌿🌿

I used the last of my mentuccia we got in Italy today. I was a little sad but it went to good use, over some garden tomatoes and toasted focaccia bread. But as I cleaned up the yard l found a lone mentuccia plant popping up just where you would expect, a neglected spot in between a fence and other mint in the garden. I had purchased some seeds and tossed them around wildly last fall hoping some would take. This one did. Hope it gets going and I can plant it out in a better spot.

Mentuccia is a wild mint in Italy and is used in lots of delicious dishes but my favorite is with ripe tomatoes from the garden 🍅🍅🍅

Toasted halloumi cheese topped with garden tomatoes, mentuccia, fennel pollen, pink sea salt, red chili flake, oregano, olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Grant picked up a ton of halloumi and now it has become our go-to Summer appetizer the last few weeks. 🤤🤤🤤

I had oral surgery on Monday and have spent half the week sleeping and half the week feeling guilty, like I should be working on something but I have taken it slow.

The tomatoes in the garden have been getting attacked by either raccoons, rabbits, rats or squirrels 🥴 so I had to harvest a few before they needed it but they all look amazing right now. I will let these ripen inside so we can enjoy them too.

Here is a mix of Jaune Flamme, Black Cherry, Black Prince, Berkeley Tie dye, Italian Heirloom, and Bloody Butcher tomatoes. 😍😍😍 Have you heard of these varieties? All are new to me. I have some green zebra and black krim taking their time right now but these will be enjoyed soon enough.

Well my Tepache experiments were a success! I absolutely love the orange and vanilla Tepache with the cream of coconut. The flavor is just sublime even though the cream separates due to the acid, I just don’t care! I will be sharing these recipes in my next Sip Magazine feature and so happy with how they came out. The habanero Tepache with lime zest is bright and bubbly with just a hint of spice. Definitely a keeper.

The kitchen after making sourdough bread, Italian wine cookies, garden salad and pasta e fagioli with fresh made cavatelli pasta for a dear friend in mourning. Always worth it and cooking is the best way I know how to show my support - now I just need to remember to write down my recipes. ❤️💔

Our first tomato of the year did not disappoint- Jaune Flamme is a French heirloom tomato and the flavor is bright and savory! That orange color glows throughout the flesh. Looking forward to more of this one. We gobbled it up in seconds with sea salt and cracked pepper. 🤤❤️
