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

Squash blossoms get me more excited than just about any other summer produce. They are not always easy to come by, so maybe the scarcity ups the intrigue.

Slow Roasted Zucchini with Fennel and Tomatoes

What grows together goes together is a good way to cook in the kitchen. I love to make the most of in-season produce. I always seem to end up with one more zucchini hanging around and my market bag is always bursting with berries when they are in season. So it seemed only natural to find a way to use them together. And I really love this unique, fresh, summery sheet cake. I … [Read more...] about Blueberry Zucchini Cake

Zucchini Pasta Bake with Mint Pesto

June 4, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

A few years ago, on a family trip to Italy, we had an amazing meal prepared by a local chef that included handmade ravioli with a zucchini mint pesto sauce. It was one of the culinary highlights of the trip for me. I asked the chef how it was made, but my lack of Italian and his lack of English didin’t make for very good instructions. I have wanted to recreate that dish since … [Read more...] about Zucchini Pasta Bake with Mint Pesto

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.
