Savor the Tart!
Well, it was to be expected after all... Sometime during this season, the tomatoes makes themselves felt on blogs around this part of the world.
May I present, the solace of mine soul - Tomato Tart! Pure and simple.
It does have a gluten free crust and before you gluten snobs wrinkle your nose about it, I ask you to give it a chance. The millet and moong flours have just the right boldness to man up to the saucy fullness of the tomato. It is almost a needed intervention, lest you get ungrounded by the fatal attractiveness of the sun kissed slices.. Trust me, I speak from experience...!
Gluten Free Peach Shortbread and Cookies
I have been rather infrequent in my posting this last month. That has been largely due to the gap between what I had expected/hoped/planned for and what really is my everyday schedule. Oh well! If you are interested, there are details in the post. If not, simply scroll down to get the recipe for a great versatile gluten free shortbread...
Albeit it is the Peach Shortbread, but really it is the multipurpose gluten free recipe for the shortbread that makes a great coffee cake as well as tea cookies! This one is a keeper, I promise!!
Peach and Mint Einkorn Scones for a Biscuit Benedict
I am obsessed with peaches this Summer! I am hoarding them every week from my farmers' market. I think they are particularly delicious this year! Both the white and yellow varieties. I think I am going to call it... 2015 is the year of Peaches! WOOT
Expectedly, I am overdosing on them as it, in smoothies, cakes, shortbreads, tarts, preserves, oh just sliced and one of my absolute favorites, scones!!!!
Chia Breakfasts with Summer Fruits
There is much to say about slow breakfasts, the kind where you take the time to construct a composed morning bite that is brimming with the inspiration of the season. There is even more to be said for ones that can be made in parts ahead of time and assembled at whim to recreate the feeling of slow inspired living.
Today's breakfast ideas are of the latter. Components made as you will and then layered the morning of for a spectacular indulgence in self! :)
Summer Landscapes and a No Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Summer is bright and hot and no one wants to do much work to get cool. The best thing to do is simply give in to the beautiful bounty that She gives us and indulge in the innocence of not doing much to them to relish the flavors. This no-churn ice cream, needs only about 10 minutes of work at the stove and little and less effort after. And you have a happy pint of frozen happiness to enjoy in a few hours time!
