I never enjoy seeing summer drift away. The shorter evenings, the cooler weather, and often times here – the rain. But there is so much I love about fall, too, so here we are, preparing for cooler weather, and making the most of it! One thing I don’t usually do much of in the summer is baking (too hot!), but this Ginger Carrot Bread not only screams sweater weather, but it can warm you up on a cool evening, or morning for breakfast!
We bought a significant amount of plums and peaches the other week, and as they have been ripening to perfection, we have been enjoying them in a variety of things. Yet just about every day, I stare at them and try to think of what sounds the BEST. And here enters to prosciutto. That’s really all I thought about. So I of course, went out and bought some. Have any excess fruit laying around that you’re needing to use? This Stone Fruit & Prosciutto Tartine takes less than 5 minutes to put together, and is a great way to savor the summer.
Did you know that it is avocado season? I feel like here on the west coast we get decent avocados for a large portion of the year, I had never put two and two together that late summer was when they were their tastiest. This Sweet Corn Avocado Bean Salad combines the best veggies of late summer with a simple dressing that will be a delicious side dish to any meal.
