Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean soup season is over! This light corn chowder is stuffed with summer vegetables and fresh clean flavors, and topped with a dollop of chive-infused ricotta for a hint of indulgence.

Well, this is a conundrum.

Sweet summer corn is good (and I mean REALLY GOOD) for, what? Four weeks a year? Maybe five if we’re pushing it?

And I intend to eat all of it.

In all the ways.

Apricots can be a bit iffy when eaten out of hand, but in this apricot frangipane galette, they are spread atop a flaky buttery pastry crust and creamy almond pastry cream, where they are roasted to deeply sweet perfection.

Apricot buying gives me more stress than the fact that I might be homeless in 20 days.

So…a lot of stress.

Farmer’s market veggies get put to good use in this recipe for gluten-free fettuccine with zucchini, yellow wax beans, and a subtly spicy harissa heirloom tomato sauce.

Disclosure: Though I received gluten-free pasta and cookie dough from Cappello’s for free, this post was not monetarily compensated in any way. As always, my thoughts and opinions are my own.

That time I went to the farmer’s market twice in one day, both times without a list, and came home with the entire farm (practically) in my reusable shopping bag.

And then kicked the.boy out of our bed because WHERE WERE THE TOMATOES GOING TO SLEEP other than that exact spot.

That happened.

2. And if any of you really think I am going to avoid sugar for that long, then you are adorably delusional. Let’s be friends.

So maybe you guys have heard of this newfangled thing called the 30 MINUTE MEAL.

I mean, rumor has it that Rachael Ray made it popular in the mid 2000’s, but that memo obviously went straight to my spam folder as evidenced by the fact that the.boy and I have not eaten dinner before 9PM in the past two and a half years of our relationship.

My cooking style is more “slow food: a healthy mix of lethargy combined with overcomplication”.

Not to mention having to constantly pause mid-chop to take process photos.

As a very wise boy band from the UK once said, “You can’t buy me love.”

However, you are more than welcome to try to bribe it out of me with a piping hot savory tomato cobbler that’s littered with juicy bits of sweet corn, caramelized onions, and a cheesy biscuit topping.

As it turns out, I am easily influenced manipulated by good food. Who’dda thunk it?
