I call it a tweener. The [not awkward] time between summer and fall. If only my own growing up years had been as easy. And seamless. And nice to look at. Where one thing easily flows to the next. Like when peaches and tomatoes are ripe and sweet and falling off of the vines, the […]

With looooong expiration dates. In other news, did you know it takes maybe 30 seconds to make your own […]

Just going to throw it out there. This might be it. Remember last year’s Pesto Kale Salad?
