Stone Fruit Caprese from NYT Cooking. In place of tomatoes, I used plums and Palisade Peaches, and in place of vinegar this uses lemon juice. Don’t forget the olive oil—it takes the dish up a notch! We give this a 5.
Our blog is about our adventure as a gay couple in Denver, Colorado. We are fortunate to live in a beautiful place that provides lots of opportunities in our lives. Our food rating: 5 means we can't wait to make it again. 4 means we will make it again. 3 means it is good, we might make it again. 2 means we think we could fix it if we made it again. 1 means we will never make it again.
We have a lot of cucumbers from our garden, so this is Spicy Cucumbers with Mint Scallions and Crushed Peanuts from NYT Cooking. This has a dressing that is nicely balanced in flavor and quantity with the cucumbers and herbs. Key step is letting it chill for 30 minutes—perfect in our heat! Simple and fabulous, this gets a 5.
