When I’m burnt out on all the summer pastas I keep tossing together, I try to mix it up with a farmer’s market salad. I truly mean a farmer’s market salad because every ingredient is straight from my Sunday pickin’s at the Marina Farmer’s Market.

My new go-to meal this summer includes some kind of conglomeration of summer veggies and fresh pasta, all procured from the farmer’s market blocks from my apartment.

I’m OBSESSED with Heidi Swanson’s new cookbook, Super Natural Every Day. While I haven’t even made a dent in terms of trying all the recipes, I’ve found time to make her delicious oat cakes on several occasions. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re a little nutso for oats here at Farm & a Frying Pan [...]

Nothing says summer like a bright and cheery strawberry shortcake. I needed to prepare something for my friend’s birthday, so I followed Ina Garten’s recipe for a cake version of a strawberry shortcake. Doesn’t it look delightful?? It tasted even better than it looks.
