We made basil pesto. Our wife transformed it into an amazing dinner. A collaboration. Here’s our recipe for pesto mozzarella chicken with grape tomatoes.
Summer brings tomatoes off the vine and peaches out of the tree. They match perfectly with fresh burrata cheese, which is a ball of diary paradise. Fresh mozzarella filled with curd and cream. It’ll blow your mind.
This Soupy Rice with Chicken and Vegetables from Food & Wine was warm and heartening. The tomato gave it zest. The rice provided substance. The peas added a little sweetness. The olives delivered a surprising, briny pop. And despite being comfort food, the meal was relatively healthy.
We’ve got a network of soaker hoses throughout our landscaping and vegetable garden. The hoses deliver water directly to the plants at the soil line. Less water goes to waste. The roots are not inundated.
What is beauty? That may seem like an overly subjective even unanswerable question. We, however, aren’t playing philosopher. We aren’t venturing into the abstract. If you own a home, the question is not a hard one to answer. Homeowners understand beauty, and beauty is whatever makes a hard job easier, cleaner and quicker. By that standard, we found something mighty beautiful. It's the Liberty Garden Model 1200 Two Wheel Hose Cart. The Model 1200 looks nice.

In a lot of ways, we're like your Italian grandmother. Scratch that. In one way--we both transform those backyard Roma tomatoes to the fresh red sauce. Here's our G@H's original recipe: When life gives you a bucket of Roma tomatoes, you make tomato sauce.
Attention, gentlemen. Your mother, bless her, owned a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. She used it for cookies and cupcakes. You don’t bake cookies or cupcakes, so you might see no need to make the investment. Don’t be daft. A KitchenAid Stand Mixer is the fundamental kitchen appliance. It does what you’d expect: mixes, stirs, beats, and kneads. But, what distinguishes it is how it does what it does. This machine is a draft horse. It’s sturdy, brawny, and industrious.

A claim some other brands cannot make. Equally impressive, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer lets you harness its power for non-mixing activities. We use the meat grinder attachment to make fresh hamburger and sausage. Want to...
