Tomatoes, Peaches and Parm

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

A unique combination that’s absolutely delicious. Although tomatoes and peaches are at the tired end of their season I am craving their fruitful flavors. Sarah Copeland would feed me such flavorful salads for lunch every time we worked together. I could not quite figure out how she could make such greens and veggies taste so…

An Obsession Since My Pre- School  Days 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

I live for pasta. I know that a few of my past posts have digressed this fact, but I will continue to tell all. I remember when I was in elementary and middle school, I would always boil Swanson Chicken broth while cooking a pot of pasta to add to it. Tortellini was my favorite…

Wine Berries 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    It’s a nice thought,  but no. These berries aren’t known to make wine, but they are however, related to blackberries and the many ways you can manipulate them. It’s common to see these plump guys, on the side of a highway growing wildly; so the next time you are in a summer road…

Crumbles for Your Late Night Thoughts 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

After a 12 hour day of picking at, and munching on baked sweets, the best way to end the day is to continue eating sweets. Coming home to mamas apple crisp is the best fall Sunday night treat. Whipped cream,  vanilla bean frozen custard, or as is. Sometimes sipping on cold milk helps flush down…

The Invereted Flower 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    Wasps, specifically Fig Wasps, are the reason why this delicate fruit is available as a decoration for pastries, part of an elegant breakfast, or made into Fig Newton cookies. Wasps tunnel themselves into the fruit, detach their wings, nest their eggs, and allow for pollination to occur. We are simply eating the dissolved…

Peaceful Eating 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    Boys and their food. I had hoped it came out the way Chris once made it for me, but food tastes different when different people make it, so it’s lovely to see all variations. So, he was happily eating it regardless. Spaghetti (grandma made that executive choice) ricotta, big smashed cloves of garlic,…

The Apple Trilogy

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    What could you possibly do with 12 pounds of apples. Apple picking, even for two doesn’t allow you to pick just a few apples and run along to the pumpkin patch. Apple  picking means buying in bulk the best crop of the year.Apple infused Rekya vodka is the perfect way to use up…

Nasturtium Capers 

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    Inspired by my Ecology professor, I have been picking nasturtium seeds for weeks now! I am currently seed saving and germinating some other nasturtium seeds as well. Nasturtiums are amazing! Not only are they perennials meaning their rootstock grow back annually- making this better for the soil- but the entire plant is versatile….

Just Treats Here No Tricks!

Byfrancescadzani@gmail.com May 21, 2025

    The Apple crisps are perfect as individuals. Cut up your favorite tart apple like granny smith or pink lady and bake with a crumble of AP flour, almond flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter.  Add leftover apple butter to enhance its richness too.  I cheated and used boxed brownie mix because quite honestly, boxed…
