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

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…

Veteran Built and a side of Apple Pie

Veteran Built and a side of Apple Pie

So on to that side of Apple Pie…what could be more American than serving in the military and loving apple pie?! :) Matt saw the bowl of red local macintosh apples that were waiting for our boys to eat them and asked when were we going to have apple pie?? Done. I used the salted caramel I recently made from Jane Soudah’s cookbook, ‘Delightful Desserts’ and baked the Salted Caramel Apple Pie for dessert. Our whole family so enjoyed this apple pie, that Matt has already requested it as our dessert for our Thanksgiving with our extended family. We did serve this pie warmed with a scoop or 2 of Steve’s Bourbon Vanilla and a Salted Caramel ice cream. YUM!!

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

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.

In the Kitchen with David Lebovitz and I

In the Kitchen with David Lebovitz and I

Oh hello, so glad you stopped by!  Did you want to see the final pictures from the chocolate mousse I attempted to make? I have unstuck myself from the hardened caramelized spoons and cleaned up the floor of sticky golden caramel to now sit down and write about David Lebovitz’s dreamy ‘Salted Butter Caramel Chocolate Mousse’. I love reading cookbooks, and thinking if I ever have all the ingredients I need I would love to make recipes like this one. Well, this week the lovely Butter Cuisine’s Brian and Lori collaborated with us and made a Sea Salted Butter. It is fantastic! They were kind to stock our market table to share with customers and I was able to bring a butter roll home. Normally, I would buy a baguette and marry the 2 up and perhaps, maybe make a salad on the side. But, not this time. I took out my David Lebovitz cookbook and started to flip through the gorgeous matte pages until my eyes fell upon the perfect recipe to use with Butter Cuisine’s Sea Salt Butter and our flaky Newport Sea Salt - this heavenly chocolate mousse that would use both of our ingredients and use up our heavy cream in the fridge and make for a nice solo dinner for me…I mean ahem, dessert to share with Matt and our boys.
