Just beck from Portugal and Spain-missing the awesome breakfast buffets every hotel seems to have. So I recreated pan con tomate using homegrown tomatoes for breakfast this morning
Pan con tomate on a baking sheet-fresh bread drizzled with olive oil and rubbed with garlic, topped with grated tomato and salt. A ceramic bowl of the tomato mixture is on the right, and 4 bowls of fresh tomatoes from the garden are at the back.

Does a quesadilla made with cheese and leftover brisket count as a pie? It’s round, with a bottom and top crispy crust…so good!

Made vegan versions of two red and blue desserts (blueberry crumb pie and raspberry oatmeal bars) for our backyard BBQ over the 4th of July weekend. Turned out as delicious as the regular versions, just with slightly less flaky crusts.

Spring treats shared with the fam yesterday. Both easy to make too. Shout out to my friend Patrice for the cake recipe-super moist and light.

Enjoying a gin and tonic made with Ki No Bi Kyoto gin, grapes, Asian pear and 1/2 lime (all fruit from the garden!) A lovely afternoon drink. This gin would pair well with any citrus -I I may substitute Yuzi next time

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
