The Garden Tart

Hello, All!

You can believe me when I say my thoughts are on pumpkins, spooky season, fur, and perfectly chilly days. But, for the moment let’s use some garden veggies that are begging for a purpose. This is truly one of my favorite things to do with a bunch of summer veggies. Not only is this a delicious tart its also Keto friendly. So you don’t have to worry about the carbs with this recipe.

Since we are going to have a lot of layers of flavor lets start with the sauce. Use any kind of pepper I just really liked the vibrant orange since we will be using greens, reds, and yellow in the tart.

what you do:

Mix the dry ingredients, then in a separate bowl, mix melted butter and egg together. Add to the dry and form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least half an hour. After that, cover baking sheet with parchment paper, and press the crust into the sheet. Poke the crust with a fork, and bake on 350 degrees for about ten minutes before adding the vegetables.

Here are the veggies I chose:

Add your pepper purée, and top with whatever vegetables you’d like. Throw that in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. With around five minutes left top with feta, goat cheese, or gorgonzola. I picked gorgonzola because it’s my absolute favorite cheese in the world.

This tart is such a perfect way to save your veggies from an unfortunate fate.

So delish!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and as always thank you for allowing me to share my passions with you.

No Blues Here

“What I Pulled” is seeing double today! It’s so funny to me because I always said I’d never make my daughter dress like me or match me. As fate would have it, I have a daughter who makes me make us match. It’s completely adorable and I can’t every say no. So for her Pre School open house when she said “Mama can we match?” My only response was “Of course!”

Since it was all about her I pulled blues because of her beautiful blue eyes. Being that I happen to love clothes when she wants to match it’s usually pretty easy to head to our closets and grab a cohesive look. I’m not going to get mushy but wow, I can’t believe my baby girl is headed to preschool this year. But, she sure is ready!

Sending all the kids and Mamas good back to school vibes!

Capri in a Cup

Hey Fab Friends!

Every time I sip Limoncello I am immediately transported to the Amalfi Coast in Capri where I had tried it for the first time. I was blown away! If you aren’t into sipping an Aperol Spritz this summer, try one of these delicious limoncello drinks! They are really fast and completely hit the spot on a hot summer day.

what you do:

Simply add limoncello, vodka, and lemon juice to your chosen glass and then top with champagne and garnish. Then immediately head to the patio to enjoy!

This has really been my summertime cocktail. So refreshing. Garnishing it with fresh basil really adds another fresh element.
