Still buried in berries here, but putting them to

Still buried in berries here, but putting them to good use... so far several packages have been shared in good will and solidarity with my fellow quarantining neighbors. More berries than I can count have been popped into little mouths breakfast lunch and dinner in my house. A mouthwatering grain-free galette has been made and ravished in record time (ps. Recipe coming soon). Several sheet pans have been frozen for future blackberry surprises. And this easy jam was made.
•
So easy. I’ll share here:
About 2 pounds berries
About 1 cup sugar
About 1 lemon’s zest
About 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring sometimes, for about 30 minutes. Break up the berries with a wooden spoon. Mixture will thicken as it cools. Store in the fridge. Serve over ice cream, other berries, pancakes, waffles, and anything your heart desires. 💜

My little girls and my giant black puppy joined me

My little girls and my giant black puppy joined me on a quick walk yesterday to our neighborhood farmer’s market.
•
We walked right up to the farmer’s table to see 3 cases of blackberries for $10. That’s 24 packs of beautiful blackberries for 10 bucks.
•
First thought: what a deal!
Second thought: they photograph SOO well.
Third thought: wow, now what do I do with allll of these berries.
•
So now there may be so many blackberry recipes showing up that I should adjust the title of my fruit-named blog.
•
First up, not so much a recipe but my breakfast yesterday... simple and beautiful peanut butter-honey toast with blackberries. Now, just 2 million blackberries to go.

Symmetry, order, aesthetic. I can’t get enough.

Do you feel me?

Happy Father’s Day to all of the daddies, but especially this one.
Somehow I snagged the very best. This beautiful man has the heart of a giant for our kids. There’s nothing he won’t do for them, and his love and tireless energy for us never ends.
You are deeply loved, Derek Brown. Even more every day. And always.

God bless the grill... It doesn’t heat the house

God bless the grill...
It doesn’t heat the house.
You can leave the mess outside.
Everything tastes better grilled.
Backyard BBQ party, anyone?
(You can social distance around a grill, right?) No better iconic ‘merican summer cooking activity than grilling! Do you love it, too?

My momma always taught me the fastest way to a man

My momma always taught me the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach... and University of Chicago did a study on aphrodisiac smells for men, and cinnamon rolls had the greatest effect than all of the other scents combined. So watch out ladies with this #grainfree Skillet Cinnamon Roll with Mascarpone Frosting. He’ll fall in love for sure!

The recipe is coming soon to the blog... stay tuned.

I started my little blog back in March 2011 as a way to compile gluten-free recipes and scratch the itch of food styling that I sorely missed from the photo studios I’d left.
It was a way to have my hands back in food, testing, styling, and now also learning the art of photography.
I thought maybe only my mom would read it.
I named my blog “kumquat”, because I love those little tiny citrus fruits, their simplicity and symmetry. And that it’s also a name you’d call someone you love.
There was no business concept behind it all, just a yearn for something pretty, for creativity, and for sharing of what was pioneering in gluten-free baking.
I could have never dreamed of the places it would take me. The friends that it would firmly plant in my life. And the joy that site would bring to my life and others... my little kumquat!

Thank you, too, for joining me on this journey. I hope I can continue to bring some inspiration, beauty, and mouthwatering gluten-free recipes to your world. And that you can spread it on to those you love, too!
