Storing Food Before Vacation

| 8 Comments

It’s nearly summer vacation time. There’s nothing worse than leaving a kitchen full of fresh food only to come back and find it…not fresh. Will you join in on this tip? What do you do to prep your pantry before heading out of town? Leave a comment; save a strawberry.

Here’s what we do: make banana curd with ripe bananas  |  make ice cream with cream and milk  |  wash, cut, and freeze fresh fruit  |  roast your veggie drawer to eat before or freeze  |  make pesto with leafy greens  |  make a greenhouse for the herbs

Spring Pesto

Spring Pesto | The Fauxmartha

I have a favorite guy at the farmer’s market. He’s probably a bit older than my dad. His hair is white and his skin sun-kissed. His eyes are a soft trustworthy blue with well worn lines around them which tells me he smiles a lot. But most importantly, he has dirt under his fingernails. If his eyes weren’t already trustworthy enough.  Read more

Hallie's Room | The Fauxmartha

Remember that time I was going to start posting to Fauxmama? Well, I got cold feet about posting anything besides recipes. I’m a food blog. But I’m now also a mom. And mom’s love to share what works and what doesn’t since there’s no manual out there on operating these little pieces of machinery. But I felt far too faux to post anything to this mom space. While I love my little bean more than anything (and stay up late gawking at videos and pictures from the earlier months while she sleeps), the transition into motherhood has been rough. Most days I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. But I guess I started this blog when I didn’t have a real clue about baking. In case you ever wondered where the name came from—there you go. I’m so, so faux. Read more

Walnut Cacao Scones | The Fauxmartha

There’s this space between winter and summer, called spring, where seasonal, scone-worthy fruit is sparse. There’s also this space between tummy time and tummy time, called naptime, where free-time turns to precious gold. It’s in that space these scones were born—Walnut Cacao Scones. They come together in less than 30 minutes.  Read more

Homemade Baby Carrots

| 6 Comments

Are you tired of chewing a single baby carrot for 10 minutes? Do you ever wonder how baby carrots last so long peeled? Or why they are  perfectly shaped? I nearly gave up on carrots because of the “baby” variety. Convenience aside, their texture and flavor is not my jam. If you’re in the same boat, buy whole carrots. Save money, peel, and eat. For a snackable size, cut into strips and store in a container with a bit of water for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Mother's Day Brunch | The Fauxmartha

We’ve flown south to introduce Hallie to her extended family. I could do without the whole traveling-with-a-baby-thing but there’s nothing better than seeing Hal with her family.

It’s filled with recipes you’ve seen around here before but packaged in an easy to use app. Download for free and whip up something sweet for your momma! Read more

Cilantro Lime Salad | The Fauxmartha

If I had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of my life, minus breakfast, I’d choose Mexican food. Though, my version might fall closer to Tex-Mex (Mexican food Texas style). By the way, have I ever told you about how we do one massive grocery trip every 3-4 weeks? Read more
