Margherita Pizza with Cauli Crust

August 27, 2015 by 918 Plate 17 Comments

Cauli is back in action! After my first successful experience with my new friend Cauli (see here), my friend Cori suggested a Cauli Pizza on my Instagram. Of course, I had to try!! I hit her up for her favorite recipes (here and here), and did my own research from there.

You guys. This is way yum. I am always surprised by the versatility of cauliflower, especially for having NEVER eaten in previously in my life. But I did see it as a chicken substitute the other day…the jury is still out on that one.

Pesto Caprese Salad: Three Ways

August 20, 2015 by 918 Plate Leave a Comment

I have not always been a tomato fan. In fact…This is one of the few ways I will eat a raw tomato, just purely based on the fact that there are too many other things involved that I like to eat. (Other ways include and are limited to: Pico de Gallo.) Traditional Caprese Salad is made with plain basil leaves, but what’s the fun in that, really? All of the following forms you’ll see today have incorporated pesto. Don’t worry, it doesn’t make them hard to make!

Porter Peach Crisp

August 13, 2015 by 918 Plate 2 Comments

First off, I apologize for falling off the face of the earth for two weeks. A combination of things being busy around here and a couple of recipes not panning out quite in the way I anticipated, led to me falling behind! Hopefully I’ve jumped back on the wagon!

We took a gander to the Porter Peach Festival a couple weeks ago. Porter is a little farm town about 45 minutes outside of Tulsa. Their peaches are famous. In Colorado, it was all about the Palisade Peaches. Here in Oklahoma, I’ve always heard about the infamous Porter Peach. It must be a requirement to grow peaches that your town starts with a P.

Isn’t this basket so darling? We didn’t get to keep it. 🙁

Simple Dill Pickle Spears

Confession 2 of Cucumber Month: I don’t eat these, either. I know, I’m terrible. But I do trust my tried-and-true taste tester hubs that does happen to like pickles, and he thought very highly of them. I also made him a jar of “special” spicy pickles with a quartered jalapeño in it. Let me just tell you: don’t rub your nose after stirring that brine with your fingers, mmkay? Your nose will go numb.

Cucumber Kimchi (+ Video!)

July 9, 2015 by 918 Plate 7 Comments

First of all, I want to welcome you all to what I’m going to call CUCUMBER MONTH. If you haven’t heard, my teeny cucumber plant has taken over a third of my garden bed, and has since produced over 25 cucumbers…as of today. Today, I found one that was MASSIVE under a couple of leaves. I’ve been documenting some of my harvests on Instagram, so you can see here and here what this monster has become. No need to #shoplocal when you can #eatlocal out of your own backyard! I’ve got lots of cucumber deliciousness coming your way, so get ready!

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Alfredo

June 18, 2015 by 918 Plate 10 Comments

First of all, I picked up this gorgeous cauli from the Tulsa Farmer’s Market for $3. It was worth every penny.

Y’all, this stuff is incredible. I stumbled across it on Pinch of Yum, and was extreeeemely skeptical, but trust me.

Before this, I’d never actually eaten cauliflower before. Is that weird? I’m almost 24. I don’t know, blame my mom or something. I think it’s because I’ve always associated cauliflower with broccoli, and broccoli and I have never really gotten along.

These chocolate chip cookies will always take me right into my childhood nostalgia!

First of all, you should know: I don’t bake much. But, it does just so happen that this is the first thing I’ve made in the new house that’s been truly worth photographing; what a way to kick off the blog! Who doesn’t like cookies?
