Whipped ricotta toast with ripe heirloom tomatoes on crusty sourdough bread and topped with basil and balsamic syrup is the perfect way to enjoy summer tomatoes!
I read somewhere recently that whipped ricotta toast is bumping avocado toast from its long-held spot as TOAST QUEEN and can we just get a collective amen to that??
(I mean, it’s on TikTok so it MUST be true.)
Still very excited about August eats!!
Here’s what we’re cooking this week:
Happy eating!
Fresh fig and cream cheese danish are the perfect flaky, buttery breakfast treats. They’re made with homemade laminated dough and are a fun weekend baking project.
It’s only one of the hottest weekends of the year across the United States, so obviously it’s the PERFECT time to be laminating some dough!!
I say that with a little bit of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm but honestly the first time I made these was in July on one of the hottest days of summer. Not the most ideal time to be rolling out sheets of butter interspersed with an enriched yeast dough while praying that everything stays cool and the butter doesn’t melt, but just find yourself a workspace in front of an air conditioner and you’ll be just fine.
One of my go-to dinners for when I need an easy and stress-free dinner is homemade black bean tostadas with peppers and onions. They’re fresh, tasty, and a family-friendly meal!
Like it or not, we’re diving headfirst into back-to-school season and with a child who is *I pray* going into a real physical school for the first time in her life, I am hellbent on gathering all of the easiest dinner ideas for when we’re both exhausted after a day of school / homework / drop-offs / pick-ups / work and just need to veg on the couch for a while.
Moms out there – you with me?
Summery ravioli with zucchini, corn, and a crispy buttery pine nut crunch – a new summer weeknight staple!
Here we are. Mid-August, fully in the thick of summer, the world seems like it’s exploding (again) but farmer’s markets are actually bursting at the seams with all of their goodies and I am here for it.
I won’t tell you how many tomatoes I bought in my last run because you would send a search party, but it was a lot and that’s not even mentioning all of the zucchini, corn, berries, sour cherries, I could go on.
Still in denial that it’s August. WHERE HAS THE SUMMER GONE.
Time to start speed eating all of the tomatoes, stone fruit, corn before they’re gone. Challenge accepted. Let’s do it!
