Elote Farro Salad

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

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.

I can’t believe it’s time for my annual “best of the year” post. 2015 has been a crazy year – we moved across the country, I started a new job, many wedding to-do’s were completed, and, of course, we ate lots and lots of food. Here are the posts you loved most in 2015!

Foodie Favorites – September 30, 2015

categories: Foodie Favorites

My absolute favorite cocktail right now, from East Bay Spice Company in Berkeley. These babies are dangerously good!

Hey guys! I am more than overdue for a Foodie Favorites post…I can’t believe it’s been four freakin’ weeks! This month has absolutely flown by – in September I’ve been to Los Angeles, Denver, Charlotte, and New York for both wedding fun and work travel. It’s been a blast, but I am excited to be grounded at home for a whole two weeks – and, of course, catch up on Foodie Favorites! Here are my favorites from around the inter-webs lately:

These PB&J sandwich donuts look like basically the most amazing thing in the entire world. I mean…woah. Just woah.

Pumpkin season is finally here!! I am the giddiest about it. I think this pumpkin crumb cake looks like a pretty great place to start, don’t ya think?

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!
