One of my favorite pizzas of all time. This Fig, Burrata & Caramelized Onion Whole Wheat Pizza has it all going on. Double melty cheesy yumminess, jammy fig goodness, spice from the arugula and red pepper flakes and sweet caramelized red onions over a slightly chewy, slightly crisp, slightly honeyed crust.. The flavors just sing together. They do, you just gotta listen closely.
I’m nearing the end of my beloved tomato stash from our trip to Underwood Farms. We recently went for a day of fruit and vegetable picking out in the fresh air and fields of one of our favorite annual pumpkin picking spots. Tomatoes were the star of the day and even my two little non-tomato-eating-no-way-I-won’t-go-near-that-thing munchkins had a wonderful time picking so many colors and varieties of one of summer’s best fruits. (Of course, they wouldn’t try one though.) But K and I have been happily enjoying them, (me semi-hoarding them) and having such a great time creating recipes with the colorful little (and big) gems.
I’m still dreaming about the last time we had this Grilled Steak Caprese for dinner. And just to clarify, in case you haven’t noticed it here already, I’m not really a steak person. Great carne asada tacos like the kind I grew up with, ok, I’ll take those any day. But as far as grilling up a steak or ordering it out, not really my thing. In fact, we don’t do a ton of red meat in general. But with that said, I don’t think I could ever tire of this meal. We’re talking succulent, juicy balsamic-marinated slices of grilled steak, mingling between the best of the best summer tomatoes, soft fresh, torn mozzarella, fragrant basil leaves, and perfectly grilled sourdough with just the right pop of garlic. And it’s all finished off with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic and a sprinkling of sea salt and pepper. This is a meal to remember.

The weekend is here and whether you’ll be doing some grilling indoors or out, I think making this Grilled Peach, Chicken & Basil Summer salad most definitely needs to be on the agenda. It’s wow-o-wow good. We’ve got a little less than a month left of summer and thus the gorgeous in-season peaches won’t be around for too much longer. So you can count on me to be making this on repeat until that last juicy, stone fruit goes bye-bye. And I recommend you do the same. Need one more little nudge? My twin bro’s exact words were, “10 stars…off scale perfection” when I recently made it for him.
