Garlic butter noodles, purple potatoes, & blueberry ice cream

August 17, 2023

Happy August! We’ve been juggling the start of school, a quick girls trip to Park City Utah for Sonja, and lots and lots of cooking. Plus, we’ve got a fresh new piano video! What is the best thing you’ve cooked last week? What seasonal ingredients do you have in abundance? We’d love to know.

5 Ingredient Garlic Butter Noodles

The best simple, flavor-popping pasta! It requires just 5 ingredients (plus salt) for massive flavor. Step it up for summer by adding sliced raw cherry tomatoes and a handful of torn basil! SO so good.

Purple Mashed Potatoes

Remember those purple potatoes we found at our farmers market? This vibrant violet mash is how we cooked them: and it’s a brilliant way to use them. Pick up a bunch of these if you can; they have some interesting health benefits (see the link).

Blueberry Ice Cream

Homemade ice cream is what summer is made of! This one rich, creamy, tangy and fruity: it will surprise you! Our friend nabbed us a big box of Indiana blueberries and this is one way we used them. If you have a load of berries, try our 30 favorite blueberry recipe ideas!

The Best Mojito

This classic cocktail can’t be beat in the summer! We’re circling back through the classics and this one stands out: especially if you’ve got fresh mint! It’s simple and beyond tasty. (Also, try these 17 mojito variations.)
