For reasons that can’t be explained, every time I’ve gone to Trader Joe’s/Target since the borders re-opened in 2022, I’ve added MULTIPLE bags of freeze-dried fruit to my cart. I have no idea why I keep doing this and it needs to stop. I used one bag last summer to make these Neapolitan Cookies, and......
I love baking for Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day, and since I didn’t really make any treats for Christmas, I was excited to spend some time in the kitchen, and had a super long list of things I wanted to bake. I also had two years worth of Val’s/Gal’s recipes stored up since we were in lockdown......
I haven’t been baking too much this summer, but I couldn’t let strawberry season pass without making at least one thing. It was a toss up between two of Claire’s recipes: this fresh Fruit Tart or a simple Strawberry Shortcake. I had a random day off last week, but only wanted to spend a little......
There are two recipes with freeze-dried strawberries that I’ve had on my radar for years and have always wanted to try. Weirdly, I see freeze-dried fruit everywhere in the states (Target & Trader Joe’s) but have never come across it here. Heather and I did a little cross-border shopping this month, and I picked up......
I consider myself to be very against any pairing of fruit and chocolate. Orange + chocolate = repulsive. Raspberry sauce pooled underneath or drizzled across a molten chocolate cake? Nope. Chocolate covered raisins? Oh, hell no. The only exception I make to this rule is a chocolate dipped strawberry, which I do find quite tasty.......
I first made this pie six years ago to bring to a BBQ at my friend Libby’s house, and have been thinking about it every summer since! I finally re-made it to bring to another BBQ with my friends Krishna & Weedy, using freshly picked strawberries from Stonehaven Farms. It was both the best looking......
Alright, I had one new strawberry/rhubarb recipe that I wanted to make this year, and it’s this sangria. Was I mostly motivated by these super cute cups I bought at Lionheart Prints in New Orleans? Yes indeed! My old boss was having a bunch of people over to his new condo for drinks last week, and......
Since my overall rhubarb inspiration was lacking this year, I decided to re-visit another stunner from the archives with this Strawberry Rhubarb Tart with Brown Butter Crumble. Back in 2011, I made this for Father’s Day, and my parents said it was the best thing I had ever made. I made it again for Father’s Day......
While I may not have figured out my signature summer cocktail just yet, here’s my Summer Sixteen signature dessert. I made this two weeks in a row, and considering I hardly every make the same thing twice, it automatically qualifies. This is what’s happening in this four layer party in a pie plate: Graham cracker......
Don’t get excited, this is not my Signature Summer Cocktail. The #1 rule of the SSC, as dictated by my friend Weedy, is that it has to be super simple and quick to mix up. This is definitely not that, but it’s so delicious and vibrant that we have to talk about it anyway. The......
