I was planning on saving this recipe for next summer, since it is full of bright summery herbs and utilizes the grill. Not really fall “comfort food”. But then I realized, to me this Chimichurri Pork Tenderloin IS comfort food. And as true Minnesotans we use our grill ALL year long-sometimes even when it’s below zero. Take it from me, this one should not wait until next year.

Has anyone else had a bumper crop of zucchini this summer? My tiny backyard garden has been producing zucchini which are the size of clubs. I’ve shredded and frozen more zucchini this summer than I’ve seen in my life. And of course as I’ve been shredding my zucchini, I’ve had to make my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread. Strangely, even though this quick bread really can’t be qualified as “healthy”, in my book it is because…well, ZUCCHINI!

This salad. Goals right here. I could eat this for every meal (actually for 2 days, I did just that-and I have plans to make it again this weekend!). Grilled Peach and Herb Panzanella Salad for the win.

Roasted Tomato Tart is my ode to the summer tomato harvest. Soft melty cheese, sweet roasted tomatoes, and a crispy crust combine to create the perfect end of summer treat.
It’s the end of summer. I’ve been trying valiantly to deny it, but here we are.

Tons and tons of tomatoes. And what better to showcase the bushels of gorgeous end-of-summer tomatoes but this Roasted Tomato and Ricotta Tart. …
