Summer Squash Salad with Lemon & Parmesan, Savory Galette with Corn & Tomatoes, Quick-Pickled JalapeΓ±os & More


Friends, hello!

As you may know, we've spent the week at Lake George with Ben's family. The weather cooperated, our simple meal plan delivered, and the kids spent every second on the lake, swimming, fishing, wakeboarding.

As planned, we grilled every night, until the last, yesterday, when the groceries ran out, forcing us to order pizza instead πŸ•πŸ•

It came from the Hulett's Landing Marina, which has a lovely little shop with all the essentials from coffee and beer to pizza and dried pasta to great cheese and produce. While the pizzas baked, I picked up a few cartons of tomatoes as well as some summer squash, with which to make the above-pictured salad when we return home tonight.

It's been a wonderful week. I'm looking forward to making this corn and tomato galette, a David Lebovitz recipe, tonight as well as this zucchini parmesan later in the week. Find a few more summery recipes below. Hope all is well, Friends! β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

... perhaps we should brush up on our bagel-making? πŸ₯―πŸ₯―πŸ₯― Hi Friends, There is a bakery* in Bolton Landing that makes excellent bagels, chewy but light and perfectly seasoned. Every time we visit Lake George, we pick up a dozen and eat them all week, toasted, slathered with cream cheese, and topped with juicy, thick tomato slabs: It's heaven. This week I found myself missing those bagels, so I decided to make a batch. I hadn't made bagels in ages, and I had forgotten how quickly the dough comes...

Friends, hello! This weekend we head to Lake George for our annual trip with Ben's family. We are a small crowd of 12, but a crowd nonetheless, and over the years we have learned to keep the nightly mealtime formula very, very simple: something grilled + a salad + bread. Minimal prep, minimal clean up is the name of the game with minimal kitchen space and without all of the tools/gadgets we rely on regularly. This year, for the first time ever, I made a few things ahead of time β€” some loaves...

Hi Friends, Last month, after finally getting this blueberry crisp recipe to a happy place β€” where the topping didn't disappear into the fruit below, and the filling didn't taste overly sweet β€” I began experimenting with other fruit, namely the classic combination of strawberries and rhubarb. The beauty of pairing strawberries with rhubarb is twofold: one, the flavors complement each other, and two, it allows you to use less sugar, as the strawberries provide a nice amount of sweetness....
