Look! Pesto Guacamole
I’m a firm believer in not messing with a good thing. And guacamole is a very good thing. We’ve had such creamy, flavorful avocados lately that simply mashing them on toast (or even eating them plain) has been a common occurrence around here. But equally wonderful is fresh pesto, and after discovering this recipe that combines the two I’m a convert to the ‘mess with a good thing on occasion’ club.

zucchini parmesan crisps
Sometimes, I think the internet is trying to tell me something. Well, most days, many things, such as why nobody should ever, ever click on a certain VMA performance (which is like begging me to click, only for me to run away with my hands over my eyes. Why would you do that to me, internet?!), why this lady should be all of our new heroes, the effect of mirrors in grocery carts and also maybe where tiramisu comes from? So much stuff, people. But sometimes, the message is a little more pointed, such as the time a few weeks ago I was checking out a tres leches cake recipe for research on a likeminded popsicle and the sidebar suggested that maybe I might consider making zucchini crisps instead?
I was suspicious — ever-mushy and damp zucchini? as chips? without frying but only using a tiny bit of oil? — and so I clicked over. They looked beautiful. People seemed to universally rave about them. It was almost dinnertime and, as usual, fully prepared food had yet materialize on our table, the forces of the universe disappointing me yet again. And of course, because it was August, I had no fewer than four zucchinis withering away in my fridge, waiting to be called upon for a higher purpose.

Co-Op Sauce: A Chicago Hot Sauce Company With a Great Mission — Maker Tour
Who: Mike Bancroft of Co-op Sauce
What: Hot sauce on a mission! Fifty percent of Co-op Sauce proceeds go to fund nonprofit arts and culinary education programs around Chicago.
Where: Chicago, Illinois
As someone who likes her chilaquiles soggy with salsa and needs more than cheese on my enchiladas, I was interested when Co-op Hot Sauce starting popping up all over Chicago. I first encountered the small red and green bottles as wedding favors and then in my neighborhood grocery store, The Dill Pickle. When I saw the Co-op Hot Sauce stand at the Logan Square Farmer’s Market, I had to know more. As it turns out, Co-Op Hot Sauce started as a way to raise money for local arts and culinary education programs in Chicago — and the story just gets better from there.

Recipe: Gooey, Crunchy, Chocolate-Filled S’mores Pie — Recipes from The Kitchn
Fall is my favorite season for spending time in the great outdoors, because it means steaming hot cocoa and hearty chili cooked over an open flame. But if you don’t have a campfire nearby, this s’mores pie is the next best thing. A graham cracker crust holds sweet chocolate custard and light-as-air marshmallow cream. After a quick toast with a kitchen torch, you may never bother with original s’mores again!

Small and Quiet — Weekend Meditation
Pink Pearl Apples
This is the weekend of summer’s end, the last roar of the golden lion before the autumn routine sweeps in and tames his fire. All around me, the energy is bright and active as people scurry out to catch the last few drops of sunshine, rushing to squeeze in all the summertime things: picnics and backyard grilling and impulsive leaps off of the pier into a still warm lake. All this vitality and celebration is quite wonderful but I’m not feeling it as I gently tilt my shutters against the sun and turn off my cellphone. I’m a bit out of step, but this weekend I’m feeling low-key and want a scaled down, less brightly lit universe. Small and quiet.
