Slow Roasted Zucchini with Fennel and Tomatoes

August 18, 2019 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am always so intrigued by the adorable little baby zucchini I see in the farmers market, but I’ve never been sure about what to do with them that preserves their sweet size. I’ve cut them long ways and grilled the halves, but it always seems a shame to just slice them as you would a full size version. A few years ago, I read in a magazine about slow roasting these babies and … [Read more...] about Slow Roasted Zucchini with Fennel and Tomatoes

Blueberry Zucchini Cake

June 17, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon 3 Comments

What grows together goes together is a good way to cook in the kitchen. I love to make the most of in-season produce.

Zucchini Pasta Bake with Mint Pesto

I have wanted to recreate that dish since … [Read more...] about Zucchini Pasta Bake with Mint Pesto

Cheesy Vegetable Soda Bread

September 18, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

We are moving (slowly, but surely. It was 99° here this week) toward soup and stew season. And when we get there, it’s always nice to serve a fresh loaf of bread alongside a bowl. I only breakout my yeast bread making skills on rare occasions, and certainly not on a busy weeknight. So a good, hearty quick bread recipe is a nice compromise. Simple Irish style Soda Bread is a … [Read more...] about Cheesy Vegetable Soda Bread

Zucchini Lime Drizzle Cake

July 10, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

Zucchini breads and cakes are a go to during the growing season, when there is always one left from your farmers market haul, or just too many growing in your garden. I like my zucchini bakes light and fresh, rather than dark and spiced, so with that one lingering zucchini on the counter, I returned to my recipe for Zucchini Lemon Gems to make a loaf cake. I’ve switched to lime … [Read more...] about Zucchini Lime Drizzle Cake

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.
