P&P: Pork & Panzanella! 🍅🥖🌿
A juicy Citarella pork chop alongside the best kind of summer salad: crusty olive bread soaking up all those tomato juices, cucumbers, peppers, capers, and basil. Simple food, big flavors, zero complaints from meeeeeeeeeee! 😋

What’s your favorite thing to do with all those end-of-summer tomatoes? 🍅

September will always feel like a beginning. 🍂
Maybe it’s the years of back-to-school seasons, maybe it’s because I still work on a college campus, but something about this month makes me want to take stock, reset, and decide what I’m bringing with me and what I’m leaving behind.
Okay, your turn: what are you bringing IN this September, and what are you officially leaving OUT? 👇😂

August, forever my girl. ☀️🤍🫶
A little tribute to the month that always changes, and somehow always stays with me.

The last Monday before Labor Day deserved a proper sendoff. 🦪

Happy Hour tonight was a side-by-side tasting of Prince Edward Island’s Tidal Treasure and Peale Passage oysters from Crave Fishbar! 😋

Summer isn’t over yet, and neither is oyster season for me! 🦪

Whipped Ricotta, Lemon & Pistachio Toasts 🍋
I know blending cottage cheese is all the rage, but hear me out: you really need to be whipping your ricotta. 🤍
For this party appetizer, I whipped together 1 pint of full-fat ricotta, the zest of 2 medium lemons, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until it was light, fluffy, and completely transformed.
The best part? I made the whipped ricotta ahead of time, so when it was time to serve, all I had to do was toast the ciabatta, pipe on the ricotta, and finish each piece with chopped pistachios, flaky salt, and a drizzle of honey.
Creamy. Bright. Salty. Sweet. Crunchy. And honestly? The easiest way to make a simple ricotta toast feel party-worthy. ✨

So tell me: are we ready to give whipped ricotta the same attention we’ve been giving cottage cheese? 😂

How pretty is this cocktail? 💚
In the third installment of our TCFC Cocktail Series I give you the Cucumber Basil Smash, aka: Summer in a Cup. 🥒🌿
I blended 1.5 skin-on cucumbers and a handful of basil with a homemade simple syrup, then added 1.5 ounces of the syrup, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, and 3 ounces of vodka, and topped the whole thing with club soda!
It made for the prettiest little green cocktail! Crisp, refreshing, and exactly what I want to be drinking while pretending summer isn’t winding down. 😎
Also, can we talk about the cucumber ribbon and basil leaf garnish? Chef’s kiss!

What’s your go-to summer cocktail? And could this be it?

It’s still SUMMER! 😎☀️
But even summer’s #1 fan felt a little chill in the air this morning when I woke up… 😉
Which means it’s time to acknowledge the inevitable: our summer days are fleeting. So, what’s still on your summer bucket list?

Mine:

🌽 More sweet corn
🌊 At least one more beach day
🦞 Another lobster roll from Flex Mussels
🌺 A couple more backyard BBQs
🍨 A Ralph’s Lemon Italian Ice

Because I refuse to let August leave without squeezing every last drop out of summer.

So tell me: what’s on your end-of-summer bucket list? 👇

Forever in love with the man whose response to “I found us somewhere we should go!” is always “Book it!” ✈️ 🫶😎

Forget the bread basket. Bourbon Steak brings three kinds of fries with three dips. 🍟 And honestly, I think we’ve found the better system. 😂
We shared everything, which was absolutely the right move - and we still needed a doggie bag! The pork fried rice came topped with Wagyu, the wedge salad was chopped for sharing, and the crab cake came with ramp oil and tartar underneath that I could have happily eaten with a spoon.
Then came the steak au poivre. Outrageous. And the Parmesan creamed spinach? A complete show stopper.
And then there was Big Kev. 😂
Impeccable service, the kind of waiter who makes you feel like you’re having dinner with someone who genuinely wants you to have a great night. And because apparently he knew exactly what I needed, he brought me a tiny ice cream cone with sprinkles and a birthday candle. 🥹🍦
A belated birthday dinner, a very happy table, and one of my favorite places in Delray Beach.

But let’s settle the important question: bread basket or trio of fries? I think we know where I stand. 🍟

A little belated birthday celebration from my husband, because (apparently) I’m forever the kind of Leo who celebrates her birthday whenever, wherever, and often. 😂♌️

“Do you want a weekend away at for your birthday gift?”

Does this guy know me, or what? 😉😂😎

We had a gorgeous 48 hours in Delray Beach: full sun, lots of yummy seafood, cocktails, live music, beach time, and did I mention the sun?

Honestly, I can think of worse ways to celebrate another trip around the sun. ☀️💙
