comfort food



in the summer i find i cook less.
i eat so much fresh.
and raw.
right off the vine.
drizzled with a bit of olive oil.
or only lightly sauteed in a herby sauce.

but when the temperature tumbles.
i begin craving comfort.
something homemade.
something warm.
and so i find myself positioned by the stove.
baking.
creating.
transforming fresh ingredients.
into a dish i can't help but savor.

most recently.

i feasted on--
farm fresh fried eggs on toast.
home-grown home-fries.
and these addictive chocolate beet muffins.


spot-on. and delish.
