   This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Quail & Olive . Complimentary product was provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links. However, all opinions expressed here are my own.   Linda of My Full Wine Glass is hosting the World Wine Travel bloggers - #WorldWineTravel - next month as we head, virtually, to Rías Baixas, Spain. One "downfall" of being a serial planner is that I often source bottles and do pairings months ahead of time, especially if the event host also plans far ahead and tells us the theme in advance. So, I had gotten my hands on a bottle of La Cana Albariño 2019 before I realized that Linda was lining up an event sponsor. So, I'll be sharing those pairings and wines for the actual event in April. For now, you get some bonus pairings! In the Glass Rías Baixas is a region of the Atlantic Ocean with estuarine inlets, called rías in Spanish, that flow almost 20 miles inland. Val do Salnés on Spain's west coast i...

I love the Fantastical Food Fight coordinated by Sarah of  Fantastical Sharing of Recipes . For more information about the event, click  here . I haven't been very good at participating, but this month, I couldn't resist.  Our theme for the month is: asparagus. And those are always the harbinger of Spring, for me. So, I jumped right in as Spring is my favorite season. The Asparagus Party Inlinkz Link Party Boquerones Asparagus Salad Simple salads are a mainstay of our Spring and Summertime meals. Fresh ingredients, some protein, a pop of flavor, and we're set. So, when I picked up some fresh boquerones - anchovies! - I knew I wanted to feature them in a salad. This isn't even really a recipe, but I hope it inspires you to mix and match some fresh produce and embrace the season. Ingredients serves 4 as a sidedish or 2 as an entree 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and blanched 4 C organic wild arugula 12 boquerones flake salt freshly gr...

Here we are at the second #KitchenMatrixCookingProject post for June. This month, Karen of  Karen's Kitchen Stories  selected our recipes. This week she has us looking at Asparagus + 12 Ways. You can read more about our project:  here . We'd love to have you join us. And, if you don't have a copy of his cookbook, you can read  his asparagus matrix online . So, Bittman suggests steamed asparagus served with browned butter; roasted with or without bacon; stir-fried with chicken and shiitakes; and grilled with a red pepper glaze. Those all sounds spectacular. But my absolute favorite way to serve and eat asparagus is quick pickled! So, I'm jumping off the 12 Ways reservation and sharing my recipe for saving these beautiful spears for another day. But first...

Whenever it's Spring, I find myself cooking with lots of asparagus. And it got me thinking about hosting a Spring soup event for the Soup Saturday Swappers that is organized by Wendy of A Day on the Life on the Farm . I asked to host this month and I wrote: "Winter is loosening its grip on the world...and our produce. Let's create and share some soups that feature the darlings of Spring. Think fennel, peas, and whatever tickles your fancy." I decided to go with asparagus, but first...
