Peach Crisp
I’ve made tons of crisps over the years. I’ve done all the berry combinations and have always loved how easy they are to throw together. Then, I had this one. You guys, it is mind blowing good. The peaches with the pecans, not to mention the stick of butter. It is perfectly crispy with warm…

Cranberry and Pear Pie
This pie has become a Thanksgiving staple. It has even (gasp!) replaced my pumpkin pie. It’s the perfect amount of tart but not too sweet compliment to ending a rather filling meal. I know that it’s January but I didn’t get a chance to post this in November. I did see cranberries at the grocery…

The Best Potato Salad Recipe
I have to admit it. I’m the picnic-er who always passes on the potato salad (I also always want to spell potato with an “e” but that’s a whole other post). It’s just not appealing to me to eat mayo and cold, smashed potatoes and pickles in one dish. That is until I ate…

I’m sure it was store-bought. But I’m on a mission to try to recreate that memory taste. Today’s recipe is…

Burrata in my pasta and salad
I ordered a salad at lunch a while back and was so disappointed. It was a Burrata salad and the chef had added garlic salt to the cheese. The salt and powdery garlic flavor was so over powering, my salad was ruined. On Sunday, we were shopping for the week’s meals and I saw Burrata.…

Agua Fresca de Watermelon
Mini seedless watermelons are popping up at all our grocery stores. After one sat on our counter for a week, I figured it was time to get creative. After cutting a few slices for the little one to snack on, I threw the rest into a blender with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and…

Coastal Kale Salad
Warning: this recipe is extremely addictive for “healthy eaters.” Healthy eater definition: Someone who loves salads, snacks on fruits, has eaten kale and liked it. This does not however mean that they don’t indulge in the double-double every now and again. And this doesn’t mean that they ever skip dessert for any other reason than…
