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…

Strawberry Bruschetta to welcome Summertime

Strawberry Bruschetta to welcome Summertime

Oh my, it has been a very long time since I have posted any recipes. I take the photos, share them on Instagram, but then stop the creativity train there. Matt told me it doesn’t have to be perfect, and that kind of released me from the blog paralysis…well sort of. If I could only talk in pictures then everything would be great in my world - words do not come too easily to me. So, let me stumble through this post. However, I get to talk about food here and friends and that is enjoyable.

Speaking of enjoyable, our Krause friends are back in town for the summer from Colorado. We love when Jillian arrives with her family as one, we know summer is finally here, and two, Jillian loves to talk recipes, create, lets me take heaps of photos, and she doesn’t mind our super teeny kitchen space. Our kids hang well and so do we! Last summer, Jillian brought over a tray full of freshly picked beautiful red juicy summer lovin’ strawberries and ingredients to make a berry bruschetta AND wait for it….strawberry margaritas. We seriously have some of the most awesome friends!

We are already planning for another al fresco recipe night with Jillian. There is talk of clam chowder and lobstah’s. Stay tuned!
