Markets are loaded with the best of summer fruit and
veggies right now
Usually I decide what to cook for dinner
based on what I haul in from the garden...
it really has changed how I cook
(weird but true)
herbs and lots of them
and usually an odd assortment of
squash, onion and eggplant
beets or some other root or big green thing
(note to self...be more specific)
(note to self...be more specific)
while a squash and pickle don't seem to work
just pick 'em
and get on with it...
no need to argue about it right now
no need to argue about it right now
I love the shapes and colors
food photography is pretty darn fun
(note to self..you are not a food photographer...bummer)
but lets cook some dessert...or better yet
lets have dessert for dinner
no need to worry about a centerpiece...
summer flowers are everywhere
enjoy a little slice of summer heaven this weekend like this
crostata
with peaches and blueberries
this is Ina Gartens basic crostata recipe
found here
the peaches are from our trees
and the blueberries came from my local market
(AKA Vons) yes I love and hate my Vons
(AKA Vons) yes I love and hate my Vons
we had some guests over
so I thought I should pretty it up
(ice cream is good)
geranium blossoms, raspberries and blueberries
and I tucked a bit of lemon slices in there...

guess not!
sending lots of
summer
lemony love

Well, if you're NOT a food photographer, you do a pretty good imitation. It's fun to play. The produce looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI pinned your Crostata and enjoyed every minute of your produce/food photography. Well done and cheers. I'm off to prepare Crostata with flowers on the side!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, they are beautiful.

Ina's Crostata recipe looks so good...I wonder if I could make it with coconut flour...I'm gluten free and rice free....I will let you know if I try it! Your garden images are beautiful...I'm learning to take better pictures.
ReplyDeleteK- your peach dessert is a dream. What a nice presentation. I love to eat, but hate to prepare- so much to do w/ the kids, etc. Your garden produce looks so healthy and wholesome. Makes me want to have a big salad!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Love photographing food that is. Beautiful post. I just finished stewing tomatoes for the freezer. Never done that before but surely I can use them in spaghetti and soup and such this winter.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering...I have to make this!
ReplyDeleteYummm....I am with you...dessert for dinner is always a great idea and your rustic pie looks amazing...thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so delicious. I’m always looking for different ways to serve vegetables. I’ll be trying this food here
