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!

Summer Tuna and Olive Salad

With Daniele in Notre Dame last week for a conference, I had the opportunity to make some easy meals for one using some ingredients that he doesn't like (but I love). Ingredient #1: artichokes.

Since the weather was a steamy 95 degrees I decided to focus on salads, and on Monday night had a tuna salad with olives, celery, lemon juice, mayo, and (most importantly) artichokes. For seasoning I added salt, pepper, and oregano. I don't often eat dinners 'from the can' but this one was a nice twist on the usual tuna salad and perfect for the summer.

Try it for your next summer picnic.
