Broiled Green Tomatoes and Fresh Peaches
Peaches and tomatoes are a beautiful combination. I enjoy this dish because it combines the warmth of broiled tomatoes with the coolness of fresh cut peaches. Having the tomatoes heated as well brings forth a more savory flavor and cuts back on acidity, which pairs nicely with the peach sweetness. For an appetizer, light meal…
Tempura Fried, Triple Cheese Stuffed Squash Blossoms
A must-try summer cuisine. In my opinion, squash blossoms are a must-try in the world of edible flowers. The beautiful blossoms are delicate and delicious, and can be eaten raw or cooked. I grew up most of my life not knowing these were the summer cuisine I was missing out on. Squash blossoms are prepared a…
Pan Fried Pumpkin, Sage and Cheese Squash Blossoms
Tying in the last of the summer squash blossoms with some fun fall flavors! One of my very first Taproot Farm CSA shares of the summer had beautiful squash blossoms. They were so delicious, and as I was strolling through the West Reading Farmer’s Market the other weekend I spotted one sole bag and had to snatch…
Local Cherry Stuffed Baked Tomatoes
Local tomatoes and cherries? A unique combination not to be missed this summer season! Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, TOMATOES! I love everything that Taproot Farm grows, but I get a little extra giddy when the shares are stuffed with tomatoes each week. Big tomatoes, small tomatoes, everything in-between tomatoes – each and every one is entirely…

Loaded Fresh Vegetable, Horseradish & Cheddar Cream Cheese, and Black Bean Baked Dip
Can anyone tell I’ve been on a Southwestern food kick lately?! 🙂 I am LOVING all the fresh and fun flavors this summer has to offer! However, I also started to feel some “fall vibes” this past week after the Eagles played in their first preseason game on Thursday (Go Birds!)! Which then led me to…
Tomato & Peach Salsa, Cream Cheese and Balsamic Baguette Bites: Sliced French Baguette, Topped with Plain Cream Cheese and a Salsa Composed of Cherry Tomatoes, Ground Cherries, Peaches, Onion, Basil and Capers, Drizzled with Balsamic Reduction and Sprinkled with Black Pepper and Salt
Tomato and peach season – two of my favorites! And what is even better is the fact their flavors complement one another incredibly well. One thing that is awesome to make when you have a bunch of them on hand is fresh salsa! Paired with bread, cream cheese and balsamic, you have a pretty epic flavor profile…
Homemade “Store-Bought” French Onion Dip: Made with Fresh Onions & Garlic, Skyr and a Variety of Seasonings
This was a labor of love. And, even though this is just a dip, it has probably been one of my more time consuming *kitchen experiments*, because I was attempting to model it off a store-bought brand (Heluva Good! French Onion Dip) I used to LOVE before I started actually paying attention to food labels and…
Easy Honey Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”: Lightly Breaded Cauliflower Florets, Covered in a Delicious Honey Buffalo Sauce and Baked to Crisp Perfection
First of all (I’ll admit) – these turned out WAY better than I expected them too! They were so good that I wiped through an entire tray with three other people in less than a half hour. So, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. I actually don’t really like cauliflower (unless it’s blended into a soup or…
