Watermelon Lemonade & the Best Food Truck in...
This weekend I had the pleasure of spending my Friday evening in the company of some fellow food bloggers and food lovers. The rendezvous was inspired by a Twitter conversation (ah, the power of technology) because we all just couldn’t stop thinking about Riff’s Truck and their amazing Watermelon Lemonade.

Cornmeal Crusted Eggplant with Goat Brie & Sorghum
Our trip to Spain in May was inspirational on so many levels.

Summer is in full swing..
I’ve fallen pretty far off the wagon of keeping you updated on our Delvin Farms CSA. I figure at this point you get the gist - but I wanted to showcase some of the bounty of a Tennessee summer. If ever you were considering a move to TN, ignore the 100 degree temps, and revel in these beauties!
I can’t get over how cute this little watermelon is!
