Apple Pear Butter

I have been up to some crazy. Let’s start with the batch of apple pear butter, which is the recipe that I will share with you further down this page, just bear with me. To be completely honest with you, I don’t find it crazy to be making apple pear butter. I had moreContinue reading “Apple Pear Butter”

Pumpkin Buttermilk Pudding

Sound the bells and whistles, don the party hats, and prepare the confetti…Sara over at Cake over Steak (check her out because Sara and amazing should always be in the same sentence – we are talking major talent!) has gathered a gaggle of bloggers to take over the interwebs today. Pumpkin is EVERY.WHERE. and we just dialedContinue reading “Pumpkin Buttermilk Pudding”

Roasted Butternut Squash with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Lately…. I spent/wasted more time trying to find black jeans. This I believe is an impossible dream as EVERYTHING is now skinny, straight, slim, or God forbid super-skinny or ultra skinny – which begs me to wonder what evil bastard thought this grand scheme up? Not only can I not get my calf into knee-highContinue reading “Roasted Butternut Squash with Cilantro Lime Dressing”

Plum Tart

Growing up – we had a plum tree in the backyard. In the far northeast corner of the yard – bellied up next to the stone covered alley and at the edge of the property line. I think it was a plum tree…I mean, it is what the whole family extended and otherwise referred toContinue reading “Plum Tart”

Fizzy Bees Knees – A Gin Cocktail

Remind me to never move south of the Mason Dixon line. Too hot, humid, and sticky for this gal. Plus, I haven’t learned how to mosey yet so I would just be the sweaty odd duck down there, walking and talking much too fast. I could get behind the biscuit situation, however. And caramel cake.Continue reading “Fizzy Bees Knees – A Gin Cocktail”

Skillet Mexican Street Corn

I remember it being late summer. The kitchen cool ( it was always cool with a slight breeze coming through the south facing window) and dimly light as the forest of trees in the front lawn kept the house in a forever shade. The light or the lack thereof is what I always remember aboutContinue reading “Skillet Mexican Street Corn”

Peach Blueberry Pie

I shouldn’t be left alone in a house with a whole pie. Ever! I also shouldn’t be left alone with…probably your children. They will be safe and sound when you return but I will allow them to eat cookie dough until they puke, sugar until they reach highs where levitation may be possible, and weContinue reading “Peach Blueberry Pie”

Zucchini Bread

Zucchini Bread…. It is a basic. A summer staple. Late summer. That time period that we are inching closer and closer to with the dawn of August upon us. Zucchini will be overwhelming our gardens and CSA bags for weeks to come. We will be gifting zucchini in the coming weeks to neighbors, coworkers, strangersContinue reading “Zucchini Bread”

Kale Almond Pesto

Hellllooo! I am calling out to you from the deep end of summer. I am treading the waters like a freaking pro except for when I forget to reapply sunblock. Then I am wondering how I even became an adult. But you guys, I have been totally quiet around here not because I want toContinue reading “Kale Almond Pesto”

Shrimp and Bean Summer Salad

A perk to being single and living alone? (small correction, I do have a new roommate) Eating all the shrimp from the leftover salad without being called out for such a heinous act. It ranks right up there with drinking straight from the milk carton/2 liter of Diet Coke/tonic water/club soda and digging out allContinue reading “Shrimp and Bean Summer Salad”
