The Summer Edible...

is out, and I'm so excited to have an article in it about a new restaurant/catering company at the Dallas Farmers Market.

If you want to take a peek it's on page 16 here...

A Scallops Phase...

I'm a scallops fan. Huge. I don't eat them often and have (shamefully) never made them. But I had the occasion to eat them twice last week.

The first time was Thursday evening...a girls dinner at Urbano Cafe (I would highly recommend) with my friends Kristie and Christine. The scallops were seared and served over a little pool of lemon creme sauce and risotto. Incredible.

Then I had them again on Saturday at Smoke, this time served over white beans and brussel sprout chips. Equally incredible.

Now I'm officially addicted and itching to cook scallops at home...any tips?

Eat Well Guide

My friend Sharon turned me on to this BRILLIANT site. Just type in your zip code and find all the sustainable food options within a particular radius.

I discovered a new organic restaurant that we're going to try out with the girlies this week and a farmer's market that's open through December, so it'll be easier to procure local food well into fall. + It would be especially helpful in avoiding the fast food wasteland on your next road trip.

I'm addicted. Check it out!

Weekend Food

Scenes from last month's White Rock Local Market

We’ve got a few fun foodie activities planned this weekend...

Tonight we're having neighbors over to splash in the baby pool and throw some organic, grass fed burgers on the grill + make an orzo salad with tomato, feta cheese and basil.

Tomorrow we’re having some new friends (fun!) over for dinner and are thinking of making Bryan’s green chili chicken enchilada casserole + Mexican beans and my friend Kristie’s famous “beautiful rice”… It’s so good! I’ll share the recipe on Monday.

But we’re especially excited to hit up the monthly White Rock Local Market tomorrow morning. Check out my piece on Renegade Bus* about the market and be sure to stop by if you live in Dallas!

So, what are you cooking this weekend??

* I'm going to be writing about local food each Friday on Renegade Bus!
