Cherry Tomato and Sweet Onion Bake

August 20, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am always enticed by cherry tomatoes at the farmers market. All the pretty colors and shapes and sizes. They are all just so pretty, though the perfect orbs of a classic Sweet 100 or Tumbling Toms always catch my eye. And, as with much of the bounty of summer produce, I have a tendency to over buy, with no fixed plan for how to use them. And though popping the little tomatoes … [Read more...] about Cherry Tomato and Sweet Onion Bake

Cherry Tomato Cobbler with Blue Cheese Drop Biscuits

Recipe ideas rattle around in my head for years sometimes. This is one of those. I liked the idea of a cobbler made with juicy summer tomatoes with a biscuit-like topping.

Quick, simple and delicious. What more could you want in a summer meal?  The trick here is that blistering the tomatoes gives them a rich, almost slow-roasted taste.  I love this with the Italianate taste of oregano, but basil or thyme work wonderfully well too.  I generally serve this over pasta, but it makes a great topping for bruschetta or a pizza.

Tomato, Brie and Herb Pasta

August 26, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

I’ve been making this dish for years, decades if I'm honest. I really thought it was my own unique creation, and I patted myself on the back for its genius every time I made it.  It’s been my date night dinner, my decadent solo treat and my impressive meal for friends.  I made it in my first apartment kitchen and shared it with my first house roommate.  It dates, for me, to a … [Read more...] about Tomato, Brie and Herb Pasta

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
