Why I’ve been gone lately…

I have two excuses as to why I’ve been missing from my blog: pickles and tomato pie. Our garden started off the summer doing extremely well, but as usual the Ohio summer ruined it. We had way too much rain and not enough heat.

Sun-dried Tomato & Feta Orzo Salad

Orzo has to be my favorite pasta shape and it is so versatile. This salad is so simple and it tastes good cold or warm. It’s great as a side dish or as a main dish with the addition of chicken.

After discovering how delicious farro was a few summers ago, I search every website I could find for different ways to use it. I found this recipe on the Williams-Sonoma website.

Roasted Vegetables

I grew up as the ‘weird kid’ who actually liked brussels sprouts, so I love trying to find different ways to cook them.
