"Plenty" of Tomatoes

With the end of tomato season upon us, I picked these cherry tomatoes straight off the vines. I made a simple sauce for a vegetarian lasagna and these extras went into one of my favorite appetizers.  I like to use burrata instead of straight mozzarella.  This cheese is part mozzarella and part cream which gives it a softer, creamier consistency.  Burrata was first produced in the early 1900's on a farm owned by the Bianchini's in the Apulia region of Italy. Hmmmm...........I wonder if we are related.

Una Vez Más, Por Favor

Summer may be over but it didn't feel like it in Cabo, until the heavy rain came pounding down.  Just a few photos before we made our escape.

Winnow Gallery & Goods

Right in my neighborhood is a very unique home design store named Winnow.  Filled with tableware, glass, pottery and metal for your kitchen and patio.  Fragrant soaps, rugs, baskets and even items for your kids fill the shelves.  The store also features local artists throughout the year.  Here are just some of the goodies you will find.  Read more about Winnow Gallery & Goods.

And this is what came out of the kitchen.........

 

These are just a few of the lovelies I brought home from Alegría Fresh Farm a couple of weeks back.  I was inspired to create some new recipes using their veggies.  Here are just a few of them................
