Our last of summer CSA shares have been brimming with tomatoes, eggplants, and onions, and I thought a sicilian caponata would be perfect for this time of year when such produce is still in abundance. Today I’m over at Bethany Douglass’ Cloistered Away sharing the recipe for this flavorful caponata to go along with a simple grilled rosemary chicken. Bethany’s inspiring blog focuses on simple, purposeful living, and she has a gift of being able to capture beauty in the everyday. She has just started a new series “In the Kitchen” to introduce a variety of perspectives on how families connect around food and life in the kitchen. For those of you wondering about some of the behind the scenes of the recipes you find here, I offer a glimpse into our kitchen and how I approach working with my children to prepare meals as part of her new series. I hope you will join me there.

I’m heading right over Emily. Caponata is a favorite of mine. I make it a few times during the summer, because a local farm shares their extras with my neighborhood for free! It’s so delicious!
Emily says
You are so lucky to be near a farm that gives extras to your neighborhood! What a dream that must be! Thanks, Mary Ann, for always following along here.

I love seeing you and your kitchen and sweet kids! Aw. Love this Emily. And what a beautiful end of summer spread too. Hope you are soaking up this last week before everything turns orange and gets coated in cinnamon ;). Hugs!
Ps. I found you in Spoonful magazine at B&N and was totally swooning over your article! It was the best one in the whole issue by far! Gorgeous. <3

Aw you fill my heart with such sweet encouragement, Jessie! Thank you for taking a a few moments to find me in Spoonful! Really, what a friend you are. If you ever want a little extra project, maybe you can send a pitch over to them too. I think they would love you. xo
