Good Things by David

It's no secret that I love yellowware mixing bowls and that I collect them whenever I find any in good condition.  They are used in my home throughout the year as decoration, for holding fruits and vegetables on the counter, and for blog posts whenever I have the chance to showcase them.  During the Fall season though, they are used a lot more than at other times because of their beautiful earth tones. Yellowware bowls in the form of cookies though?  Absolutely! I had been wanting to make sugar cookies in the shape of mixing bowls, and as much as I searched online for cookie sources and inspiration, I couldn't find any!  How is it that no one has iced and decorated mixing bowl sugar cookies?

Since there are only a few ingredients to this dish, it's of the utmost importance to use good, cage-free, free-range eggs, and fresh garden tomatoes, if possible, or canned San Marzano tomatoes. Many gardens are still bursting with tomatoes, so if you're lucky enough to have a bumper crop I strongly encourage you to make a large pot of marinara sauce.  It's an easy thing to do, and it's such a great way to capture the essence of summer.  After harvesting several plump Brandywine tomatoes a couple of weeks ago (above), I wasted no time in making a most delicious marinara sauce.  The first order of business is to skin the tomatoes.  Fill a pot h
