Roasted Grapes + Thyme + Ricotta Toast - Cheers to 2020!

Hello and Happy 2020 to you!! The last decade was full of deployments, military moves, Matt’s retirement from the U.S. Navy, and the creation of our small business. Holy cannoli! I am excited to see where this next decade takes our family and of course, Newport Sea Salt Co. 

For the past 2 years, we have seen our little idea blossom into an actual small business that makes us both really proud and excited to see where we can take it. Have we had some major lessons? Each and Everyday. :) Small business is still a new frontier for us and we are taking in all the lessons learned over the past few years so we can get Newport Sea Salt stronger (and its owners) in the next decade. 

So thank YOU to each and every one of you for your support, for your kids stopping at our market table to enjoy a sample and learn about where sea salt comes from, to our customers leaving messages of encouragement on our social media channels, to all of the vendors that do business with us. We are so lucky to have the awesome Lil’Rhody and beyond support!

We wish all of you a fabulously happy and healthy 2020! 

So on to the recipe…

And that's a Wrap to 2017!

And that's a Wrap to 2017!

Hello there and Happy delicious and inspiring New Year to you! I know I have said this before in other posts, but I will say it again - Whew! It has been a whirlwind of activity both personally and professionally for our Newport Sea Salt family. During our first small business Christmas season, we moved into our old home in Newport from military housing. This was our first move ever that did not involve moving out of state, across country or across the ocean - but just across town. It was the shortest move we have ever made, but not the easiest. As snow came down as well as the cold temperature, we watched as box after box came into our home marked ‘nick nacks’ and books waiting to find a cozy spot in our extra small home. Matt and I just looked at each other with a bit of bewilderment, but smiled and started to unpack - and decorate for Christmas. Did I mention that between the move and the crazy holiday season that it was business as usual?! And not usual by any means, as we had vendors calling us with replenishing requests and new orders to stock their shelves. It was AH-MAZING.

September is Here and with that comes...Comfort Food!

Welcome September! Can you believe it that the summer is coming rapidly to a close?! Did you get all your BBQ’s, summer parties, beach visits, and summer reading checked off your ‘How to Spend your Summer Days’ list? It has been such a phenomenal summer of good activity for us. We did have some lows with our kiddos sick with a summer flu while at their grandparent’s house in CT, and a bout of poison ivy before sail camp was to start, and topped off with a dog bite, but other than those incidents we had a beautiful summer being back in New England with our family and friends.  Our boys learned to sail and crab, and we enjoyed our summer living in Fort Adams to the full extent with these amazing coastal views.

Stay Salty with this Summer Salad Recipe

Whew, it has been a jam packed summer thus far! Are you enjoying all your BBQ’s, summer parties, and hopefully some summer relaxation? We have been so fortunate to see so many friends this summer here in Newport. Friends from Italy, Virginia Beach, Pennsylvania and Colorado have made their visit to us in the awesome city by the sea. Just last night, my soon to be turning 80 year old dad (bday tomorrow) and my spring chicken mom of a few years younger have arrived from South Carolina and are ready to spoil our boys with lots of love and attention. Grandparents are the best! Our schedule is packed with fun things to do together and to start we may just take my dad on the Craft Brew Race and end the day at the Polo fields. With that being said, it is going to be a crazy day. Matt and I love food and like to prepare some fun sides and main dishes to bring to events like the Polo gathering and so we are preparing…
