the naptime chef the naptime chef fitting great food into family life july 31 2025 pesto prosciutto fresh mozzarella panini for summer have you ever gotten so obsessed with one dish you make it over and over until you get sick of it then you put the recipe away for a long time a year or more until you re ready to trot it out again this pesto prosciutto fresh mozzarella panini is that recipe for me it s barely recipe more of technique really and i make it all the time in the summer until i m tired of it then it s put away for about ten months until i m ready to see it again at which time the process repeats no apologies for never learning to pace myself so i can enjoy it year round it s just the way it is instead of taking lots of glamour shots i took a quick step by step scenario for you when i made it this morning so easy so delicious makes a great lunch or dinner or both first start with a really good bread in this case i m using a slice of heidelberg italian bread with a tablespoon or so of unsalted butter on medium low heat spread a healthy dollop of pesto on the bread i use the naptime chef s perfect pesto recipe of course then layer on a slice or two of prosciutto you can also use thinly sliced ham if that s your preference just don t pile on too much you want to keep this sandwich thin and crispy not too much of a mouthful add two or three slices of fresh mozzarella i buy this at the grocery store but you can source yours wherever you like press the second slice of bread on top to close the sandwich and use a spatula to put some weight on it so it compresses add more butter if needed and flip the panini back and forth on medium low heat until it is golden and toast and as thin as it can be serve warm and with salad or chips if you can i know it s not too complicated but it s soooo flavorful we love this sandwich and i hope you do too i will say my other favorite is a blt and i ve never met a caprese sandwich i didn t like what s your favorite summer sandwich enjoy 0 comments july 8 2025 8 of my favorite forever kitchen items hi all i go back and forth about posting lots of shopping lists i try to encourage very mindful consumption buy things you ll use and love and that will enhance your life that said i m constantly recommending stuff to people i know so it only makes sense to summarize my favorite kitchen items here too since it s a big deal week on amazon i thought i d include my favorite kitchen items that are real ride or dies meaning they ll last you a very long time and you ll kind of wonder how you lived without them in the first place the blender that s superior to all others 0 comments read more july 5 2025 10 tiny kitchen treasures i love one of the biggest differences between my life in 2008 and now is how i ve really honed in on all the things i like to live with i know how i like my kitchen and household to function and have added in some really fun items over time truthfully my favorite things are fairly mundane and inexpensive in the grand scheme of things but in a way that s precisely what makes them so special they are my tiny treasures my everyday go to s my cute and fun enhancements that actually improve my daily life i m sharing them today in case you re interested in the fun helpful items to have around your world i think they really are as good as i pitch them to be in most instances i ve tried many variations of these items and landed on these with a lot of trial and error perhaps you have more you d like to add to this list please let me know i tab all of my cookbooks to help me remember what recipes are of interest sometimes i tab my top 10 of any recipe selection and then challenge myself to cook those 10 recipes before choosing another round from the same volume this is probably overkill but it s fun for me these tabs are super cute and have sticky glue that actually works mini silicone spatulas are in constant rotation in my kitchen i use them for everything from making doughs to getting little bits of homemade pesto off the food processor blade also they re dishwasher safe the dream of every home cook one set of these will last you a decade plus they make a really pretty gift when you tie them bouquet style with a ribbon this mini measuring cup changed my life have you ever tried to measure ¼ cup liquid in a 2 cup measurer it s impossible this itty bit measuring cup does the heavy lifting with the micro amounts of liquid recipes sometimes call for i love having salt perched next to my stovetop so i can dramatically throw pinch after pinch into almost anything i m cooking it makes me feel like a real life ina garten this little salt dish comes in many colors and is the perfect shape and size i have it in green and have given it as a gift in many colors i m not a perfect eco warrior but i try swedish dish clothes are a must in my kitchen they last so much longer than sponges and have basically replaced paper towels i like to buy ones with cool designs sometimes i buy a big 10 pack and give them out as gifts individually again my semi perfect eco warrior self uses these tabs for all my regular cleaning i dissolve one in a spray bottle of water and have the most deliciously scented and effective cleaning solution ever if you make homemade yeasted items you ll want this spoon it literally measures the precise amount of yeast typically found in each packet i buy a big jar of yeast and use this spoon and it works perfectly a little fine mesh sieve is the key to making so many things easier yes there s tea straining but there s also straining zest and seeds out of squeezed fruit draining pastina and all sorts of tiny cooking moments that call for a delicate strainer to ensure smoothness last but not least the pens of my dreams these are truly the most perfect writing utensils and are the only pens i write with the ink doesn t run at all and leaves a nice sophisticated line on every handwritten item i can t say enough about these simple but perfect writing implements everyone needs a pack or three 0 comments july 1 2025 a classic caprese orzo salad with balsamic vinaigrette i like to share what i m cooking these days in case you are looking for new ideas or fresh inspiration it s unlikely that a caprese orzo salad is breaking new ground but this recipe is perfect for right now and i d like to highlight this if you re looking to change things up in fact i ve made this salad many times in the past but haven t really done so in the last few years i think it s because i honestly burned on it we went through a big caprese salad season a few years ago and needed a break from it for a little while the nice thing about a salad like this is that it s totally adaptable i made this one with a classic balsamic vinaigrette but you could just use olive oil and salt if you d prefer it also might taste great with lemon zest and a lot of pepper i ve also added chopped peppers to it before because i had some in the fridge to use up lastly try pesto if you re in the mood for it i like to make this in the evening and let it cool in the fridge overnight when i first make it the salad is never salty enough and i add a lot but i ve learned that if i do that i ll end up with a salad that s too salty after the flavors meld so make it according to plan and let it rest taste test add more salt if needed this is a favorite of ours in the summer i like to have it in the fridge to have with leftover protein for an easy lunch it s also makes a nice cool side dish at super on hot days 0 comments

summer of 2025 a return to beautifully simple joys i ve been loving the my martha summer trend on social media it s no secret i m a longtime fan of martha s style i had a subscription to her magazine until the very end gosh i used to obsess over her recipes and crafting ideas one of my favorite issues was the holiday cookie issue of december 2005 i still have all the pages neatly arranged in my recipe binder so many good ideas yes her cookie cookbook followed a year or so later but the magazine had a better selection of recipes i think here are some of the recipes and photos from the good old days of naptime cooking i m leaning into this summer to give it my own martha summer theme with the world feeling so sad and fragile it seems like an excellent time to dial back to simple joys with communities of loved ones merrill s strawberry jam spread on lightly toasted slice of sourdough bread sounds heavenly for a summer breakfast roasted peach lemonade was something i first tasted on a food blogger trip to atlanta i recreated my own version at home and have been making it ever since the ingredients are easy to procure and the recipe is dead simple i still haven t found a better picnic drink 0 comments read more june 21 2025 my 8 june summer kitchen essentials in the spirit of sharing here are the things i m loving in my kitchen right now these are some of my june summer
