Here's what we used:
- Large yellow (or any other variety) heirloom tomato, cut into wedges
- 1 large peach, sliced
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 burrata ball, broken into pieces
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Drizzle of balsamic glaze (ours was a peach balsamic glaze) 
- Sprinkle of flaky salt

    Quick poutine for nights you want comfort food qui Quick poutine for nights you want comfort food quickly and without much effort. 

Frozen French fries, cheese curds, and a quick and simple vegetarian gravy. It's so good and comes together in the time it takes to heat up the fries in the oven. 

So yeah maybe it's not traditional and we didn't make the fries from scratch, but it's ridiculously satisfying. We cooked something quick, easy, and delicious, and that's what it's all about. 

Who wants some poutine?
    SAVORY sundried tomato and cheese scones! We don' SAVORY sundried tomato and cheese scones!

We don't make scones very often, which is probably a mistake. When we first tried these cheesy sundried tomato scones, we immediately started talking about all the other versions we want to make.

They're buttery, flaky, and bursting with savory and almost pizza-like flavor. And they're very doable, even if you've never made scones before (especially if you have a food processor).

Recipe is live now on our blog (link in profile) here: https://cookingwithconks.com/sundried-tomato-scones/. 

Save it for brunch, afternoon snack, potlucks, or whenever you want to bake something that isn't dessert.
    This peach crisp started because we had 3 peaches This peach crisp started because we had 3 peaches on the counter and didn't feel like going to the store.

Could we have waited until we had more peaches? Yes.
Did we make dessert anyway? Also yes.

And it was great! But:

•    More peaches. Three small peaches got the job done, but a good crisp needs a thick, juicy layer of fruit.
•    Normally we'd top a crisp with vanilla ice cream, but we worked with what we had. The yogurt was actually delicious, but it isn't ice cream.

We've learned from creating recipes that it's okay if they don't come together perfectly on the first try. It's okay to change the recipe and keep experimenting. And it's okay to be proud of what you're able to pull off on a whim. Most of the recipes you see on our blog have been tested, tweaked, and perfected before they ever make it to your screen. But a lot of the cooking we do day to day looks like this: casual and always fulfilling. 

For a dessert we randomly threw together in about 35 minutes, this one turned out great!
    Easy CHEESY Potatoes 🧀🥔 Oven roasted potatoes smo Easy CHEESY Potatoes 🧀🥔

Oven roasted potatoes smothered in salsa con queso by @therealdrippydip (made with real cheese) and topped with soy chorizo and green onions. This super indulgent and easy vegetarian snack is a great recipe for game day or even just a regular weekend when you're craving loaded potatoes.

We've been making roasted potatoes this way forever. Just partially cook them in boiling water, then rough them up a little, season them, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Topping them with cheese sauce just seemed like the next logical step to make them even better!
