Stuffed Peppers


I have been dying to try Padron Peppers after reading this post on Becks & Posh; but, I never have a chance to get to Farmer’s Market on Saturdays. Strolling by Bi-rite Market and I found them! Guess what was part of dinner!

Sauteed with some olive oil & sprinkled with the famed black salt flakes we love. For dinner I stuffed some Pablo peppers, I had leftover from last week, with some sweet white corn, kidney beans, sauteed shallots and garlic and some goat cheese! Wonderful!

Goat Cheese and Tomato Baguette



One of my favorite meals when it is just me, is a nice glass of wine, some outstanding cheese & a nice baguette! We have a tendency to eat this way very often when we are in France but do not do it at home as a couple – Why, I ask myself?

L. is still out of town …. and maybe I was just missing him and our last trip to Paris; but, the two got me thinking and I whipped this up for dinner. A nice baguette with warm goat cheese & sliced tomatoes, I sprinkled some minced lavender over the top which added a very refreshing taste to this dish – bursting with flavor with the heirlooms and herbs! I also had an excellent glass of Malbec! Bon Appetite!

Eggplant Parmesan




(Friday Night)

Made a Fantastic Eggplant Parmesan – fantastic, really!!!! It had a slightly spicy tomato base sauce. I used some dry farmed tomatoes I had frozen from last winter – very very flavorable . Then we moved to a grilled Niman Ranch Chili Marinated Beef Bavette, which I found when I picked up the lamb sausage. This cut was incredibly tender & juicy with excellend flavor - one of our new summer time favorite cuts for the grill! Really tasty! We had a salad course next. Baby butter lettuce with some chopped up baby red onions and fennel. I made a balsamic goat cheese dressing & sprinkled the crazy black salt flakes, I found last week, over the top – yum! For dessert I whipped up some Vanilla Bean ice cream!
