An end of summer party and a small collection of new paintings.

A summer galette filled with heirloom tomatoes, nectarines and lots and lots of herbs.

Leeks and okra both may not be on your weekly shopping list, but maybe they should be. They are both sweet and flavorful vegetables that pair nicely with many seasons. These grilled leek and okra are a great starter or side dish and are a great late summer into early fall dish.

With summer on it’s way out and fall on the horizon, we will begin to loose evening light and the warmth of the summer. Many of us will begin to prepare for the coming months of cold air and testy weather for winter is only a season away.
