Cheddar Bacon Chive Pastry Pinwheels

Happy SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! Over the years, as I think about it, I’ve planned and participated in watching the famous Super Bowl Game Day commercials many a time. (I’ve actually planned much more often than following through – ). But there has rarely been a day when I actually sat and watched the game. Whether…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cake

After binge-watching (that’s the only way to do it, right?) the entire Season 5 of Grace and Frankie over the course of two days, I was inspired to bake a “surprise cake!” This is the type of cake that surprises you – when you slice into it, loads of treats come pouring out! It’s sort…

Gluten Free Vegan Frosted Cupcakes

I cherish and adore my yoga community. They have and continue to make an amazing difference in my life. Welcoming supportive, and all-loving, these people make my heart sing. When I miss I class, I am certainly always regretful. I when I get myself there, I am a much happier camper – in all ways….

Red Velvet Strawberry Layer Cake

My family is constantly working on the ultimate “purge.” Let me clarify, we clean out our closets monthly, donating what is not needed, and do our best to keep the house clutter free. I’d like to claim I’m “the best” at this task, and I think Brian would attest to that. No clutter – I…

Honey Peanut Butter Chocolate Bread Bites

A few weeks ago I had some leftover bread dough and decided I’d make Brian a sweet treat for breakfast: a Honey Peanut Butter Chocolate Roll, to be precise. It was like a cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon sugar, I filled the dough with honey peanut butter and chocolate chips. It was a huge…

Prosciutto Winter Squash Blue & White Pizza

Preserved Meyer Lemon Almond Cookies

It’s no secret how much we LOVE lemons in our house. We adore them. Lemon zest on this, lemon juice on that, Preserved Lemons with that…you really can’t go wrong. It seems like it’s been a while, though, since I really took a dive into the lemon 🍋world. A deep dive… I wanted to use…

Caribbean Pork Plantain Sweet Potato Lasagna

Just before the holidays arrived, Brian asked me to make something different. My response, “Um, I make different things all the time, every day, in fact.” “No, really different. Make something you’ve never made before. Something totally different.” Well, okey dokey ~ I try my hardest to come up creative and unique ideas, but apparently…

Salted Caramel Meyer Lemon Artisanal Bread

I feel like it’s been kind of a while since I baked some bread other than sourdough. Maybe not – However wonderful the sourdough recipe is, I still crave the crust and aroma of simple artisanal bread…and always Meyer Lemons. Oh, and I’m also sort of on this Salted Caramel Sauce kick lately. So, enjoy!…
