Disclosure: This is the last in a series of sponsored posts written by me on behalf of Discover Endive<\/a>. I have received three complimentary shipments of California endive over the last six months and I have also been compensated for my efforts to promote California endive; all opinions expressed here are 100% mine.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve had very warm temperatures here all spring: so warm, in fact, that I planted my entire garden a full two weeks earlier than I ever have before. I took a photo from my upstairs bathroom recently because that’s the only way you can really see the whole shebang…we added three raised beds this year and I am kind of amazed at how big it looks!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While it’s been a bit rainy for my taste, the good news is that I have not needed to drag out the hose in weeks. I just came home from being away for three days and apparently it rained the whole time: when I walked around this morning, I was shocked at how big some of my plants have gotten! My tomatoes in particular are really coming along: at this rate we’ll start enjoying them sometime in July.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though I can’t have Insalata Caprese<\/em> with homegrown tomatoes yet, the warm weather’s been telling me to make it anyway. I’ve been happy to do so, because the classic Italian salad featuring perfectly ripe tomatoes, melt-in-your mouth fresh mozzarella, and vibrant basil is one of my family’s all time favorite things to eat. <\/p>\n

When I decided to incorporate some grilled endive into our Caprese<\/em> recently…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

…my kids expressed concern. You see, while I myself adore endive and have been eating oodles of it raw and cooked any which way over the last few months while I was part of the OnDiva campaign<\/a>, Dylan and Maddie haven’t been quite as enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, things were different this time. They thought the grilled endive was really good, and we all loved this variation on Caprese<\/em>. I plan to make it all summer long, especially once my tomatoes are ready.<\/p>\n
