Tomato Love

by gidget food

I am so thankful to have family in the shipping industry. Once, my aunt and uncle sent us an amazing Trader Joe’s care package (on dry ice no less) back when we lived in the TJ’s-starved region of Colorado. Now, they’ve gone over and above by FedExing us… a box of bounty from my uncle’s [...]

A Summery Sunday Treat

by gidget food

We’ve finally been having some summer weather around here! “Sunny San Diego” is known for its May Gray and June Gloom, but the pesky marine layer has persisted through most of July as well, here on the coast. I’m sure hoping for a hot, sunny August. For me, warm weather is the best. I get [...]

Pineapple-Basil Chicken Salad and Roasted Squash & Gouda Soup

by gidget food

This recipe is by no means an exact science, but I love how these two dishes cook up together nicely. The soup is based on one we had at our CSA’s farm visit day, and the salad is a variation of one I saw in Everyday Food magazine. What I love best is how you [...]

Sunday Treat: Blueberry Honey Homemade Ice Cream

by gidget ice cream

My first batch didn’t come out so good. It was flaky and didn’t have a very creamy texture, even though it tasted creamy, which was weird. But this version shouldn’t disappoint. I went for the classic custard-style ice cream, because I’ve had better results with it in the past and it paid off. Since then, [...]

We make a lot of pancakes around here and these are probably our current fave. I’m so thankful for an amazing father and a husband who is an awesome daddy [...]

Blueberry Honey Ice Cream? Not Quite Yet.

by gidget ice cream

Facebook friends will know that I was hoping to have a recipe for you yesterday. I tried. I think the truth is, I’m not quite up to creating my own recipe yet. At least not on the first try. It started out fab… but turned out a little… icy… flaky almost. The batter never quite [...]

Gettin’ a Little Homemade

by gidget food

What’s going on in the Gidget household, you ask? Both kids are quiet for one thing (have I mentioned what a lifesaver LeapPad is?) after a not-so-pleasant grocery run. We did have a lovely morning at our new favorite place, though, the San Diego Botanical Garden. Oh, and the photo above is from our blueberry [...]
