I washed a lot of basil from the garden and made pesto the other day. With walnuts and Romano cheese. Then I used it to coat fettuccine, with a splash of pasta water for that silky, sauciness that if it were a pot of penne would sound perfect when stirred. Do you know that sound? Do you recognize it by sight, like I do? Delicious! #pestopasta #basilpesto #pestowithwalnuts #gardenbasil #freshbasil #fettucinepesto #romanocheese #pecorinoromano #silkypasta #pastawater #summerdinner #torontofoodblogger

Cheese with chilies on peaches?! That would be delicious, but no. Golden-hued heirloom tomatoes. (I made a sandwich for lunch with these tomatoes topped with ricotta, and the sautéed kale you see in the background) #toastsforall #heirloomtomatoes #chiliflakes #torontofoodblogger #freshricotta #cheeseandtomato

Chicken in a slightly sweet sauce, plus capers, topped with fresh garden parsley. So good! #torontofoodblogger #capers #foodstagram #realfood #homecooking #deliciousathome

I love a tomato & peach salad! For this one I added some shaved Manchego cheese and a small handful of arugula from the garden, plus some dried chili flakes. It was perfect for lunch #saladfordays #tomatoandpeachsalad #seasonalpeaches #ontarioproduce

How much flour do you buy at a time? I’ve been getting this 20kilo bag; our previous one lasted almost 6 weeks. Most used for? Breads! Then pizza dough, followed by biscuits, pancakes, muffins, treats. What are you baking? #flour #bakingbread #homemadebaking #pizzadough #whitecarbs

Plain yogurt + fruit nectar: combine for an easy, at-home yogurt drink like those at the grocery store. You could also use puréed fruit with a little juice + yogurt. #betterathome #homemadedrinks #thethingswedoforourkids #drinkableyogurt #inajar

Grilled peppers with olive oil, a scattering of zataar and topped with thin slices of shallots. Put it on toast, eat it with rice, add to a green salad, top it with an egg, add some cheese… so many ways to enjoy! I’m pretty sure I just ate it as is. #summersalads #grilledpeppers #summergrilling #peppersandonions

I had a lot of radishes and not a lot of plans for them… so I quick pickled some and have been using them to top sandwiches, tacos, and anything I feel like.
