One of my yearly traditions is to bake a savory tomato pie. Being that it’s a little on the heavy side I try to time it right so the weather isn’t sweltering hot. Right now is the perfect time. The days have grown noticeably shorter, the nights are tinged with a slight chill and an abundance of fresh, juicy tomatoes can be found both in the markets and in my garden. Layers of fresh tomatoes, cheddar cheese and a basil cream cheese blend make up the luxuriously rich filling. The buttermilk crust is a cross between a biscuit and fluffy bread.

Sometimes I get very jealous of Ina Garten. No, I'm not saying that I long for a closet full of blue denim shirts -- nobody should even try to rock those like the Barefoot Contessa. My envy derives from her massive and beautiful gardens, which are located behind her even more massive and beautiful Hamptons home. There she will be, mid-episode of her Food Network show, casually putting together some sort of salad for some sort of scripted impromptu get-together with her fabulous friend T.R. (don't you just love T.R.?)

simply vicky | a love of all things home, kitchen, shop: Homemade Bagel Chips
Bagel chips are one of my favorite snacks to make. These little guys are easy, healthy, and make such a pretty plate to share with your co-workers, friends, and family. Everytime I bring these into the office, I get multiple people asking me about the recipe. They're soo much better than store-bought bagel chips - worth the effort! The trick is to slice the bagels as thinly as possible. I use my trusty Kyocera Knife for these bagel chips (and all my slicin' and dicin').
Oh Baby! Roasted Asparagus, Bacon & Cheese Tart
My food blogging pal Shelley, of the lovely Franish Nonspeaker , is expecting the arrival of dear sweet baby Ruby very soon, and a few of her friends decided to throw her a virtual baby shower. Neat, huh? Shelley was one of the first food bloggers I connected with almost right off the bat, in early 2011, when I was just a blogging newbie. I don't think she's missed commenting on a single one of my posts, and that's a lot of posts!
I’m in Italy mode. It may be because C and I took an Italian cooking class a few weeks ago. Or, it could be that impending trip to Italy { this autumn }. Whatever the reason, I feel like food isn’t sufficient unless it is doused in olive oil and covered in tomatoes and basil… or unless the names of said food are pronounced with an Italian accent. I find myself adding an Italian flare to not-so-Italian dishes. Last night, for example, I grilled chicken and peppers for dinner, but served it alongside a tomato and basil salad and some fresh focaccia.

Nestled just 30 minutes by ferry southeast of Mount Desert Island, with superb views of the mountains of Acadia National Park, the five Cranberry Isles host a year-round community of lobstermen, boatbuilders, and craftsmen, as well as numerous rusticators who’ve been returning each summer for years, if not generations. Little Cranberry Island is fairly flat as Maine islands go, but that quality contrasts nicely with the stony peaks of Mount Desert Island that loom so dramatically to the north. Another pleasing contrast is how few motorized vehicles dash along its easy-going roadways. They're called "Cranberry" because of the low-bush cranberries that grow right on the dry ground.

Hi all, I’m Rachael from La Fuji Mama and am tickled to have been asked by Jenna to share one of my crazy concoctions here on Eat, Live, Run ! Jenna is very brave! I’ve had apples on the brain lately, partially due to these three handsome little fellas sitting on my counter top waiting for me to decide what they would become. I love a good apple pie, but wasn’t really in a pie mood. Then, when I woke up one morning craving homemade bread, inspiration struck.
