It’s tomato season, friends 🍅

This Tomato Tart never disappoints, and it’s so simple to make!

Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 egg
1 medium shallot
8 oz cherry tomatoes
¾ cup ricotta
½ cup basil, roughly chopped
⅓ cup parm, freshly grated
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the ingredients. Halve cherry tomatoes and slice the shallots thinly. Whisk the egg into a homogeneous mixture.
Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently poke holes throughout the center of the puff pastry, leaving roughly ¾ inch on all sides. Lightly brush the egg over the pastry.
Gently spread the ricotta over the center of the puff pastry, season with salt and pepper, and top with grated parmesan cheese. Top with shallots and tomatoes and spread evenly over the pastry.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes burst, and the pastry is deeply golden.
Garnish with fresh basil, slice into squares and serve.

watermelon sorbet & a little message from me I ha

watermelon sorbet & a little message from me

I have been absolutely MIA the last couple of months, and that’s for a few reasons. One is that I have been so busy creating content for other brands that I’ve neglected this page which serves as both a creative outlet for me and a living portfolio that I use to land new clients. The main reason, in full transparency, is that I am really struggling with knowing how to show up online right now. Even though I am just a recipe account, it feels irresponsible of me to take up space with such arbitrary things when there is so much going on that we need to be paying attention to. Anyway, what I’m feeling right now is that our joy can live alongside our activism, our grief, and our pride. I hope you’re all finding space for all aspects of this crazy, overwhelming, devastating life we are living right now, even though it is so freaking hard.

So, here’s a little something to bring you joy

ingredients
4 cups watermelon, cubed
1/3 cup sugar or sweetener of choice
1 lime, juiced

directions:
add everything to a blender and blend until smooth. pour into your ice cream maker and churn until frozen and crystalized. if you don’t have an ice cream maker, no worries! we can make granita! pour your mixture onto a large rimmed baking sheet and freeze. every 30-45 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the freezer and scrape the pan with a fork, breaking up the ice crystals. repeat for about 4 hours, or until the mixture reaches a shaved ice texture. note: if you forget, and the granita freezes solid, cut the block into cubes and blend in a food processor to reach the shaved ice consistency. enjoy!

And, yes, this is a watermelon recipe 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
