Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

August 22, 2021 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Summer farmers market season is in full swing, with an embarrassment of delicious riches. And I go on shopping sprees amongst the produce. I buy lots of things for canning jams and pickles, some things I eat as plain and fresh as possible and some things I turn into delicious recipes to share here. And sometimes, I have a few fruits or vegetables hanging around I want to make … [Read more...] about Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf

Fig and Blue Cheese Galette

I am a fig fanatic. After the jams and preserves I stock up on every year, I turn to other fig delights, like this packed-with-flavor fig galette.

I honestly can’t remember the first time I tasted elotes, known popularly as Mexican street corn, or esquites, which is the same idea cut of the cobs. I imagine it was at one of the fabulous Mexican restaurants here in town. I can say I was ahead of the curve as a social media food trend, because I posted this recipe for Mexican Corn Salad in 2011 (I didn’t even know … [Read more...] about Baked Queso Fresco with Fresh Corn

Fresh Tomato Basil Bread

July 18, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

When I first started this blog, I was a little afraid of yeast. I hadn’t had much success with bread baking and I was a little too lazy to deal with kneading and shaping. But over the years, as I have learned more and spent more time in the kitchen, I have largely conquered my fear of fresh baked bread. I even branch out to make specialty loaves, like Butternut … [Read more...] about Fresh Tomato Basil Bread

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.
