Hi friends just a little note to say 👋- our hea Hi friends just a little note to say 👋- our hearts have been heavy with all that is going on in the world & now our beloved state ablaze with all of these crazy wildfires. . If you can, support your local farms by visiting your farmers markets today( many are still open) @aim_farmers_markets @urbanvillage has more info on their feeds. And here is an article that has places to donate for wildfire relief https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/21/northern-california-wildfires-how-to-help-fire-victims-and-fire-fighters/amp/ . These dry farm tomatoes are from @tomaterofarm & my absolute favorite (pic taken a few years back for a big canning project) We roasted some the other night & turned into a red sauce and have just been eating the rest- they seriously taste like candy & are such a treat if you can find them 💯 . Stay safe everyone ❤️ . . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #farmersmarketinspo #farmersmarket #farmtotable #dryfarmtomatoes #tomatoes #cagrown #tomaterofarm #realfood #plantbased #uvfmtotable
I bring this salad back every summer .. It’s a g I bring this salad back every summer .. It’s a great recipe from @dianahenryfood cookbook #simple . . It has all of my favorite things...thinly sliced red onion, baby spinach, apples, blackberries, caraway & sunflower seeds. It’s also so pretty to look at 😃 . The vinaigrette is made with apple cider vinegar, EVOO, mustard & maple syrup. I pre-soak the red onion a bit to cut the bite of raw red onion 👌🏼Salads never have to be boring 💜 . #myberkeleykitchen #feedfeed #salads #healthyeating #thecookfeed #taste #dianahenrysimple #driscolls #driscollsberries #eatingwell #healthyfoodshare #fruitsalad #summersalads #berrytogether #allergyfriendlyfood
Apparently it’s #nationalicecreamday so here’s Apparently it’s #nationalicecreamday so here’s my contribution 😃 . I’ve made ice cream before & love doing it when I have the time but luckily for us there are many #allergyfriendly brands out there making yummy ice cream. This one is from @so_delicious coconut ice cream. . I’ve topped it with a homemade blueberry cardamom sauce that takes a few minutes to throw together & makes any store bought ice cream even sweeter.
