These okra are great; fresh, vibrantly green, packed with nutrients and flavour...but boy, do we love those hands. Our dad's hands, hard-working, always moving, rough but gentle and so capable. Hands that have wiped a thousand tears, pulled out countless loose baby teeth, pinched numerous cheeks and planted incredible gardens. Coming up soon you'll read about these hands preparing these okra, and learn all the tricks that make them delicious and perfectly textured (That's right! no gross or gummy okra!). Hope you are all having a super great day! . . . . #miakouppa #okra #food52grams #freshfoods #eatlocalgrown #fbcigers #chatelainemag #huffpostliving #huffposttaste #thekitchn #bhgfood #rslove #hocsupperclub #lifeandthyme #kitchn #cuisinesworld #yahoofood #heresmyfood #foodforfoodies #inseasonnow #eatgood ##mypinterest #makeitdelicious #bbcgoodfood #f52farmstand #cookcl

When we were young and would visit friends, we would often return home with stories about the delicious and unusual foods we were offered there. Sometimes they were foods from an entirely different culture, like Indian samosas and Caribbean beans and rice. Other times they were convenience foods; incredibly tasty and easy soups and pastas that came right out of a can! Our palates were intrigued by the flavours, and when we went grocery shopping with our parents we would try to sneak some of these canned goods into the cart. They were quickly removed, but not before our parents studied the labels, asked us for some help with translation, and declared: We can make this better. And they usually did. This cream of tomato 🍅 soup is just that; their answer to our begging for a pretty can of tomato soup with the promise of a sweet, salty and velvety soup inside. They have been making it for us every since, and we can't believe how amazing it is. And now, if you head on over to our blog, you “can” make it too! (do you see what we did there?) 🙂 Hope you all had a great Monday guys!! . . .

Plum perfect! We love these two-bite, sweet fruits that grow abundantly on our parents' tree. Funny story, when one of us first moved into our home, our dad came over one afternoon while we were at work and planted one of these plum trees smack in the middle of our back yard. Like, right in the middle...in probably the most inconvenient spot available. But we kept the tree there for years until it died, often muttering under our breath that this tree limited our landscaping and outdoor living opportunities. But mostly we would enjoy the sweet taste of the plums and smile at the thought of our dad proudly planting our house warming tree and sneaking off before we could say a word 😊. . . . #miakouppa #plum #getminimal #treatyoself #fruitoftheday #fbcigers #chatelainemag #huffpostliving #huffposttaste #thekitchn #bhgfood #rslove #hocsupperclub #lifeandthyme #kitchn #cuisinesworld #yahoofood #heresmyfood #foodforfoodies #inseasonnow #eatgood ##mypinterest #makeitdelicious #bbcgoodfood #f52farmstand #cookcl

Pasta is our hero. When we think the pantry is bare and there is nothing for supper, pasta is there. When we find ourselves rushed and harried, pasta is there. When we’ve had a difficult day and want to eat our comfort, pasta is there. Whether it is a long slender spaghetti, a perfectly plump penne or a fancy farfalle, pasta has saved many a meals. . . During the summer we try our best to eat lighter and to use the vegetables which grow so abundantly in our gardens. With the onslaught of cherry tomatoes and Swiss chard, this is a quick and easy meal that our parents make about once a week. Don’t let the simple ingredients and technique fool you however; this is a pasta dish which is fancy enough for company and one which will turn you into a hero. . . .

Our whole lives we have known that late August and early September meant a tomato sauce production in our home. Usually taking place in the garage, and weather permitting, outdoors, our parents would spend entire days canning tomato sauce that they would then have available for the entire year. When we got older and moved into our own homes, we could always expect a delivery of cases of tomato sauce, to tide us over until next summer. It was such an expected ritual, that we were surprised to learn that not every family makes and cans tomato sauce. Over the past several years we have gotten hands on and involved in helping our parents with this job. It's a great, productive, and somewhat exhausting few days that are definitely worth the effort. If you would like to learn how to make your own tomato sauce so that you can enjoy the taste of summer all year long, head on over to our blog! . . .
