It’s officially Tomato Season and I couldn’t be happier. Yes, you can buy tomatoes all year but none taste as delicious as the tomatoes picked in the month of August. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve just picked a few ripe Beefsteak Tomatoes from my backyard garden and was inspired to try BROWN BUTTER TOMATOES by @amandahesser of @food52 with a few additions to her already delicious dish. ⁣ ⁣ Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it - swipe does the sizzle reel :) ⁣ ⁣ What you’ll need to make this dish for 2. ⁣ ⁣ • 2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced into 1/2 inch slices⁣ • 1 ball of fior di latte mozzarella cut in half ⁣ • 6-8 basil leaves, sliced into thin ribbons ⁣ • flaky sea salt and fresh cracked pepper ⁣ • 1/4 cup unsalted butter⁣ ⁣ 1. Divide tomato slices into two plates, top with half the mozzarella. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. ⁣ 2. Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium low heat until its golden brown in colour and smells nutty, approx. 4 - 5 minutes( the popping sound should slow down)⁣ 3. Using a spoon pour hot brown butter overtop the tomatoes and cheese, sprinkle fresh basil overtop and enjoy. ⁣ Add a side of crusty bread to sop up all the buttery tomato juices on your plate........you’re welcome 😁⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kitchenconfession #food52community #brownbutter #burrata #fiordilatte #foodmakesmehappy #beefsteaktomatoes #gardenharvest #freshherbs #delicious #nomeat #easymeals #lifeandthyme #thekitchen #farmtotable #mealsinminutes #lunchbreak #onmyplate #simplydelicious #feedme ##vegetarianrecipes #happybelly #localfood #lovefood #homegardens #citygarden #torontocanada https://www.instagram.com/p/CDt90aOphBs/?igshid=15ag4aq71urif

Peach Crumb Bars⁣ ⁣ Part pie, part crisp, part cobbler. These Peach Crumb Bars should be made now before peach season is over. Sweet, buttery, vanilla-scented crust, and bursting with loafs of fresh juicy peaches.⁣ ⁣ With easy to find ingredients and no kitchen appliances needed you can whip these bars up in no time. ⁣ ⁣ Now here comes the hard part…If you want the bars to stay intact and easy to slice, you are going to have to wait for them to cool. Believe me when I say, this is torturous. When the pan comes out of the oven with its bubbling peaches and the sweet buttery scent filling your home, it will take every ounce of willpower to hold off and not face plant right into the dish and eat your way out.⁣ ⁣ Serve them as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kitchenconfession #peaches #peachcobbler #icecreamlover #vanillabean #sweettooth #bakedgoods #COVIDbaking #eatingfortheinsta #fromscratch #makeitdelicious #simplepleasures #imsomartha #shareyourtable #recipeoftheday #lifeandthyme #homemade #homebaked #thekitchn #food52 #feedfeed #realsimple #todayfood #huffposttaste #foodandwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CDe9PmAJ45N/?igshid=1p2eywvoc67ol

When you slice open the most incredibly creamy and perfect Avocado 🥑 naturally you take out your camera for a photo op ..... no? Is it just me? 😄⁣ ⁣ Actually, I haven’t been feeling very inspired or creative in the kitchen lately. ⁣ ⁣ Anyone else feeling BURNOUT? ⁣ ⁣ Over the last few months my inner cheerleader has been working overtime with cheers of “you’ve got this girl” but I’ve been so wrapped up in doin it all that I completely missed it.⁣ ⁣ How did this happen? ⁣ ⁣ Overwhelmed, too many irons in the fire, and trying to do/be it all for everyone. Damn you burnout! I don’t have time for you. ⁣ ⁣ So, I’m going to just sit here, feet up and enjoy the silence for a minutes longer. Hey Burnout, I see you and I’m taking some time for myself without guilt. ⁣ ⁣ Who’s taking the day for themselves today?

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Cookies ⁣ ⁣ WHAT MAKES THESE COOKIES SO GOOD?⁣ ⁣ The brown butter, of course!

THE BASICS OF FRIED RICE:⁣ ⁣ Over the years I’ve found a couple of tried and true ways of making flavorful Fried Rice every single time. Use cold rice, so plan ahead and cook some up the day before. Cool up a big batch and have it throughout the week. A fresh pot of warm rice does not fry well. Ever wonder why your fried rice turns out sticky and clumpy? Warm rice added to the hot pan is why. So leftover refrigerated rice is ideal. If you’ve just cook up a fresh batch of plain rice and want to fry it up spread it out on a rinsed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes (or in the freezer for 10-15 minutes) until chilled but not frozen.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Fried rice is incredibly easy to make and customizable with any of your favorites. It’s also a great way to clean out your fridge :)⁣ ⁣ Easy Teriyaki Fried Rice⁣ Serves: 2 to 3⁣ ⁣ INGREDIENTS ⁣ 2 tbsp sesame oil⁣ 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced ⁣ 1 red bell pepper, finely diced⁣ 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely diced⁣ 1/4 cup frozen corn⁣ 1/4 cup frozen peas⁣ 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded⁣ 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed ⁣ 3 cups cooked long grain rice (I used leftover plain rice, or see my earlier post )⁣ 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce⁣ Sesame seeds, for garnish ⁣ ⁣ INSTRUCTIONS ⁣ * Heat a large pan and add in 2 tbsp sesame oil. ⁣ * Sauté the garlic until fragrant, careful do not burn it will taste bitter. Add in the vegetables and chickpeas.⁣ * Cook until tender. Mix in the rice. ⁣ * Pour in the teriyaki sauce overtop and sauté for 2-3 minutes. ⁣ * Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy! If you’re feeling extra saucy add a little extra teriyaki sauce overtop the dish before eating!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kitchenconfession #friedrice #vegetarianrecipes #carrots #rice #teriyaki #corn #plantbasedmeals #eatdelicious #earthtotable #ricebowl #healthymeals #homemadecooking #cookingwithlove #makesmehappy #vegetariandinner #wherewomencook #ovenfreemeals #quickmeals #easymeals #recipeshare #freshmeal #vegetables #tastemademedoit #earthtotable #summermeals #foodanddrinks #hautecuisine #f52grams #thecookfeed ⁣ (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4v4HzJ8WN/?igshid=1m3qgwmnflnov
