my uncle bob is a foodie at heart, and while staying with him we were lucky enough to try and devour a wholeheckuvalot of his homemade salsa.

…we returned home from washington state, and i made it the next day because i was craving it something fierce!

i can’t recommend this recipe enough!

if possible, use all fresh ingredients. if not, i understand – the first evening i made this, after three stores i could not find fresh banana peppers and had to go for canned, shown in the picture above. {it was still amazing.}

did you know you can make an omelette in ziploc bag? it’s true, my friends. no omlette pan, no flipping, no breaking. just pure and simple egg goodness.

before placing the bags in the boiling water,

despite the fact that we spent the first half of our day eating sushi on top of moving boxes, (come on, sushi should be granted american status by now)… our independence day was just perfect.

our first fourth of july in new england was filled with a traditional celebration. this is one of my favorite holidays, and while we kept things fairly low-key this year {since we had just moved five days prior to the holiday}, i still adore the community kumbaya feeling as you spend time with neighbors and friends.

husband and i attended a dinner party here in boston in January – where the above appetizer was served. it’s a mix of wheat berries, shelled edamame, seasoned with freshly squeezed lemon, sea salt, and pepper. served on endive. since having this delicious appetizer at the dinner party, i have made it twice. once at home for lunch and once in utah for another party. i prefer the mix served on green leafy lettuce, the endive is a bit bitter but makes it look prettier. so, it’s your choice what type of lettuce you serve this on. the dish is not packed with too many flavors, but it’s fresh, easy, and addictive.

if you are new to wheat berries,
