Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
Honestly though. A tailgate slider doesn’t need to be this fancy. You could very easily make the meat patties, melt some cheese on top, throw it on a little bun, and just add ketchup.
That’s how I ate the thing on Saturday and it was about the most fantastic slider I’ve ever tasted. I mean, heavenly. Like, I closed my eyes and lifted by face toward the heavens and smiled as tears of joyful food love ran down my face.

There is a lot to love about this gluten free recipe for Flourless Butterless Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, starting with the fact that you only need five ingredients and one bowl!

The. Ultimate. Sandwich.
[If you’ve been waiting, here is the Chipotle Mayo.]
This sandwich is pretty much stolen from The Porch. All I did was add an egg, which isn’t even an original idea, and then I added a letter E to change the name.
I wanted to change the name to The cBALTrEcMgsB, but that’s just not pronounceable.
BALTE, by the way, is pronounced “bahlt.” Or “bawlt” if you’re Southern.

I know some of you guys are waiting to hear what I made Chipotle Mayo for, but… Ermagherrrd. It can wait. I need to share my love for burrata cheese with the entire online world.
I mean, tomato season is on its way out the door. Don’t shoot the messenger. Just tellin’ it like it is. This is my absolute favorite way to eat tomatoes. I know I said the same thing last week. I wasn’t lying. Tomato & Goat Cheese Tart is crazy delicious. But its totally allowable to have a two-way tie, or an eight-way, or even a 17-way tie in the food world. I would say it’s encouraged even.

Yesterday was Therapy Day.
Therapy Day usually includes a full eight hours of sleep, a cup of coffee on the porch, sometimes a homemade breakfast. (Mine did.) It can include lounging on a pool float and getting slightly crispy with some friends. (Mine did.) It may include evening drinks with the girls or with the guys or with the neighbors. (Mine did.)
And Therapy Day, for me, always includes baking.

There’s one thing to love about Mondays.
Mondays are a fresh start. An opportunity to reinvent yourself. A day for redesigning your outlook on life. You have the choice of waking up on the wrong side of the bed or the right side of the bed and that can set the tone for your entire week.
Really, we can do this on any day, but Monday is a natural day of renewal. Almost every Sunday, I make some promise to myself for the coming week: I will go to the gym regularly. I will be absolutely productive at work and leave on time. I will drink ten glasses of water per day. I will take “me” time, without feeling guilty.

Strawberry and Arugula Grilled Cheese is a food-love inducing recipe. Start with buttered, crispy bread, fresh mozzarella, the juiciest strawberries, and finish with peppery arugula. Eat and repeat.

I’m republishing this almost one year to the day! Should I wait another three days to republish, so that my perfectionism can sing its heart out with the fortuitous bliss that is 365 days by accident? Nope. I want to share this with you NOW! Peach season is upon us and I can’t think of anything else I would rather make with my Farmer’s-Market-Fresh Peaches. Not even cake or cobbler or pie. Just this salad, which is healthy and indulgent both at once, and which is my favorite kind of food.
Why am I republishing? Because of this:
