Cooking Machine

A weekend of no plans brought Nate and I lots and lots of time to do some good old fashioned home-cooking.

Now, the benefits of having your own garden is that you can wake up on a Saturday morning, and think: "Wouldn't it be great to have a fresh green bean and tomato frittata for brunch this morning"....and actually make it happen without a trip to the grocery store.

We also broke out last year's cookbook of choice Great Food Fast and made some lemon-glazed cupcakes. Topped them off with some fresh berries and we were all set for a perfect summery dessert that required zero ingrediants that weren't hanging out in our fridge or cupboard.

Then we decided to top of our weekend of delicious summer-y food with a recipe from my favorite cooking blog Smitten Kitchen. I remembered this recipe from a few weeks back and made sure to grab some zucchini and summer squash at the farmers market so we could try it. Our pictures do this zero justice compared to the SK blog..but hey we tried.
