We enjoyed having Mariana Velasquez up to Stony Ford while the weather was still nice enough to eat outside. If you missed Mariana’s previous recipe posts, we’ve rounded them up for you right here. Mariana is a food stylist and taste maker, check out her website to see more of her work.

We hate to pick favorites but since publishing the Zucchini Waffles, they’ve been a favorite around the house for weekend brunches. The soups is beyond easy to make and how impressive to add to a dinner menu? The savory meal which is all cooked on the grill makes for a quick clean up. And a make ahead dessert with fresh bread a strawberries we picked up from the farmers market.
