Ash and Prairie

Check out these beauts Ash Street foraged in Northern Michigan!

Our herb box has been bursting of late so Dr. Prairie made a huge batch of chimichurri sauce that we had over grilled steak. The sauce was delicious. Herbaceous and garlicky with a kick from the vinegar and red pepper flakes.

Dr. Prairie’s sister made us these delicious fruit and mint sugars. Used the strawberry mint one today, sprinkled on top of some peaches, with a fresh mint sprig from the backyard as garnish.

Min pushes me to try new recipes, which is good for me because I tend to be a stick in the mud about expanding my repertoire. Last night we tried out this chocolate lava cake. Our oven runs hot, so even though we pulled it on the early side, we didn’t pull it quite fast enough. The inside was less lava and more…like Pac-Man on a plate, as Min put it. All the more reason to try the recipe again!

Min convinced me we should make a “viral Gordon Ramsey dish on TikTok” and whaddya know, it was crazy delicious! Toast with bacon jam, scrambled eggs, and chives.
