The Food We Love
When it comes to strawberries, it’s never just about eating your daily fruit. Sweet brightly colored aromatic strawberries and all the ways we love to eat them through out their brillant season elevates these berries to a much higher level. I find strawberries to be inspirational, whether I’m plowing through the preparation of a massive […]
I love a simple Summer salad, especially one with a little crunch in every bite. Enter shredded carrots and sliced almonds to add that crunch. This salad is so simple that you could make it from ingredients found at a grocery store salad bar or you could prepare your own quinoa and slice your own […]
Today I’m sharing photos of my apricot raspberry tart along with a few tales of my tart baking adventures. I’m circling back with the Tuesdays with Dorie online baking group this week to join in with their assignment to bake a simple fruit tart from Baking Chez Moi. Apricot season is a short one, some […]
Today I’m sharing a berry pie that you don’t have to turn on your oven to make. That’s right, a no-bake dessert that can be made using your refrigerator which means no added heat from the oven to your already warm kitchen. There is nothing like a heat wave the week before the 4th of […]
I think it’s time to share a salad recipe. Grilled avocado, corn and blueberry baby kale salad with a chipotle lime vinaigrette sounds good to me. This is a quick easy salad recipe with a lot of Summer flavors. Don’t be afraid of grilling the avocado slices, that’s kind of fun to do using a […]
Alice Medrich’s latest award winning baking cookbook, Flavor Flours, has done more than capture my attention in the kitchen these past few months. I have also been introduced to a whole new idea- baking with different flours, including a few I’d never even heard of, like Teff and Sorghum. So, while I’ve been happily baking […]
l love rhubarb. My favorite way to eat it is either oven roasted or stewed with sugar and spices. I love to eat stewed rhubarb in a little bowl with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I also like to try new recipes with rhubarb, like this one for rhubarb brown butter […]
The little bursts of lemony Limoncello flavor in each bite are at the top of a long list of things I love about this cupcake recipe from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan. This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie baking group brings an over-the-top sweet treat to my blog. I will say that this is one […]
I made a new extremely generous friend in the produce aisle at Safeway yesterday. I was looking everywhere for the fresh stalks of rhubarb and by the time I found them, a very nice man was already putting the last of the rhubarb, all 8 stalks, in his bag and when he saw my reaction-he […]
Cookies for breakfast on Saint Paddy’s Day? Why not? I’m sure you will love this oatmeal cookie recipe as much as we did. This is the first recipe that I’ve made from my copy of at home in the whole food kitchen by amy chaplin and even though I did make a few changes, such […]
