Author: gritcooking

I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop,Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek! My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for sharing good food with good friends and loved ones. My food always has a story and always in sizes to share. Ima county girl with a lot of love to share.

Watermelon fresh caprese with herb goat cheese

August 7, 2018 gritcooking

A summer twist to bring a bright refreshing taste to a herb goat cheese and fresh basil from the garden and balsamic reduction drizzle. The fresh melon really sweetens up the combo and I serve as a single bite. Be creative and serve larger as a sharable watermelon steak. Happy Summer!
