Welcome

Welcome to my blog. My blogging journey began about in August 2009 as a photo-a-day blog which has since transitioned to combine my love of good food and photography. Today, using as many local and fresh ingredients as we can, my boyfriend and myself spend time researching recipes, making our own adaptations, cooking, taking photos, eating, and finally reflecting on all or part of the above listed process here. I hope you take the time to not only read and look at our photos, but please cook some of the recipes yourself. You are invited and encourage to leave feedback as we continue our culinary journey!

Caprese Salad

I traveled to Madison, WI last weekend (the weekend before labor day) to see a good friend of mine. We spent some time there relaxing, walking, and gardening.

Kristin's friend Nina, who resides in Madison, participates in a community garden effort. While we were there Kristin and I helped with picking some of the vegetables. Namely, tomatoes. Since there was an abundance of tomatoes and basil, I suggested we stop on our way back home and buy some mozzarella cheese to make caprese salad.

All you need to make caprese salad is: tomatoes, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange as seen below.

I am in Italy this week, and when I return will have some updates on Italian food including Italian wedding meals, gelato, and cheesy bread.
