appley EVER AFTER

Autumn has officially arrived and I love the idea of a warm, cozy sip that uses locally grown apples with bourbon and smoky mezcal. This one is delicious for a swanky cocktail party but also works just fine in a red solo cup next to a bonfire or on a hayride.

blackberry and lemon VODKA TONIC

The dog days of summer require something cool, strong, and slightly sweet - this one is just the ticket. Quick and easy to whip up…but impressive as a pre-dinner cocktail or for just sippin’ on the back porch. Feel free to increase the amount of vodka depending on your day -

tomatoes and peaches with WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE

Something magical happens when goat cheese is paired with summer tomatoes and juicy ripe peaches. This super quick salad works well as a starter course, but also equally impresses as an appetizer when served with our firecrackers or buttery grilled toast. We especially love the bright green nuance of fresh basil and mint from the garden, even though added bits of zesty arugula or watercress would make this the summer salad to end all summer salads….

summer tomato TOAST

Nothing on the planet is more delicious than fresh tomatoes steeped in olive oil, basil, and fresh garlic. Our SUMMER TOMATO TOAST is simple, but promises to be the belle of this year’s Fourth of July pool, lake, or river party. The tomatoes gain sweet complexity the longer they sit…so prep about an hour before guest arrival to ensure maximum flavor…and guest adoration.

Our simple version of this classic summertime cocktail includes muddled cucumber and Arkansas strawberries that elevate it to a whole new level. Barely sweet, heady, with bright red berries, lemon, and fresh mint that screams “SUMMER HAS ARRIVED!”

SPAGHETTI (SQUASH) AND (CHICKEN) MEATBALLS

SPAGHETTI (SQUASH) AND (CHICKEN) MEATBALLS

Roasted squash has been an important component to this month’s WHOLE30 program - and our Spaghetti Squash with Chicken Meatballs has by far been the favorite of everyone in the house, including our finicky 16 year old. Super easy, and ready under an hour, this recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner when time is short. The meatballs and squash take center stage, but the surprise of the meal is the delicious and funky-cool nutritional yeast boasting a singular umami flavor profile.

RAMEKIN CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR TWO

RAMEKIN CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR TWO

I LIKE BIG BUNDTS AND I CANNOT LIE. Well, it’s no surprise that chocolate cake is one of our all time favorites at EDIBLE CULTURE; there’s something primitive about the power chocolate has over mind, body, and palate…and throughout the pandemic we’ve been making (and devouring) this quick, easy, and utterly decadent chocolate cake recipe for two on a weekly basis.

PUMP UP THE JAMMY SOFT BOILED EGG

PUMP UP THE JAMMY SOFT BOILED EGG

Jammy soft boiled eggs have been a godsend during our January WHOLE30 excursion; the simpler, less complicated ways of cooking and eating have been a welcomed and surprising component to the program, but certain foods, like soft boiled eggs, have allowed us a special decadence..

We love this wobbly recipe as an addition to soups, sweet potato hash, salad, grilled vegetables, seared steak, or roasted chicken; not to mention all by themselves with salt, pepper, and ground chiles. Easy, quick…all that’s required is boiling water and about six minutes of your time, and just like that, you can enjoy the delicious, gooey virtues of the ESSENTIAL Jammy Soft Boiled Egg.
