Elote Farro Salad

How is it that summer is almost over?! I feel like summer always flies by, but this year has taken the cake for me – between lots of friend visits, quick jaunts north to wine country and south to LA, and an extra-hectic work schedule, I feel like I’ve barely blinked and September is almost upon us.

“Summer” in the Bay Area pretty much means nothing in terms of weather, but I absolutely still use the season to take advantage of the extra-special produce: corn, tomatoes, basil, peaches, berries, oh my! When I was thinking about just the right recipe to celebrate the quickly fading summer months, this elote farro salad struck me as just the thing.

Are you ready for some corn porn?

Hey, it’s my blog. I can say “corn porn” if I want to. I mean, just look at those bodacious, bright, insanely summer-y kernels, yo. I speak the truth.

Kitchen Sink Summer Farro Salad

categories: Recipes, Salads, Savory, Sides, Vegetarian, Whole Grains

I don’t want to be totally cliché and say the 4^th of July totally snuck up on me and I CAN’T BELIEVE it’s next weekend, but like. There. I said it. It’s true. How is it not-June as of Wednesday?!

Not that I’m complaining. Although the summer always flies by way too fast, I love this time of year – poised right at the beginning of months and months of long, warm, sunny days, the promise of relaxed alfresco meals and lots of ice cream dangling right in front of us. Even in perpetually-sunny California, there’s something about summer that just makes you want to relax, take a deep breath, and just be. And that is always a good thing in my book!

Foodie Favorites – June 24, 2015

The best “brunchitizer” – a fresh-baked chocolate croissant from my favorite Berkeley brunch place, La Note!

Hey guys! How’s your week going? It’s been great summer weather here and I have been lo-ving it. We finished our (wonderful!) marathon of trips and visitors that has been the past month and a half and have been enjoying some quieter times and more cooking at home – the biggest perk of a quiet weekend, in my humble opinion! I’m loving getting back in the kitchen in a big way, especially with all the inspiring summer food out there on the internet. Here are this week’s super-summer-lovin’ Foodie Favorites!

I absolutely love the idea of jazzing up store-bought ice cream with these fancy dipped cones. “Semi-homemade” is always the best approach to entertaining in my opinion!

These avocado and ahi poke parfaits look so wonderful and refreshing. Although I’m not sure I’m brave enough to try to prepare raw fish at home?? Help!
