Another Weekend – Another Delicious Breakfast!If you don’t ever take the time on weekends to make a delicious breakfast, I am sorry (and sorry for your family)! Now I am not saying that every day on every weekend we whip up some delicious breakfast, but 

Basic Pierogi

Basic Pierogi

These pierogies were enjoyed and were meant to be published on Monday, October 8, 2012 – since 10/8 is National Pierogi Day, but life got in the way! I made these on Monday, photographed a few early so I could post it – and that 

Mexican “Grilled” Corn

Mexican “Grilled” Corn

We are still getting corn from our awesome local farm’s CSA. All year we seem to have been getting between one and dozen ears of corn a week. Much of this corn I have been sharing with my neighbors and my parents. Much of the rest of the corn I have been putting into every dish we cook (which I have not really shared with you all, I am sorry about that). I really enjoy the flavor of Grilled Corn (especially that fancy Grilled Mexican Corn you get at fairs/festivals where they charge like $4 an ear). Although we have not really made much Grilled Corn around here (and never Mexican Corn), when I came across this version for Mexican Grilled Corn in a Skillet, I knew it would be the perfect side dish to all of our Jalapeno Inspired dishes from our own garden!

Grilled Peach & Mozzarella Caprese

Grilled Peach & Mozzarella Caprese

Around here we are in the midst of Tomato Season, which really makes me happy. One of my favorite things to do with tomatoes is just top them with some mozzarella and basil (on a plate with salt & pepper or melted between bread or chopped into a salad or even just off of the cutting board)!

So you may be wondering why I am telling you about my favorite ways to eat tomatoes in a post about peaches! Well, dear reader, I love tomato with mozzarella so I recently went to a local cheese shop to get some of their delicious homemade mozzarella. When I got home (while trying to avoid just eating all the mozzarella piece by piece) I was looking to broaden my mozzarella horizons and came across these beauties at Chew out Loud.

Delicious, Fresh, Healthy (you’re welcome)
