I first made this cake in 2017. I had spent a Saturday morning picking fresh strawberries and I baked this cake later that afternoon. This recipe has been in drafts for an entire year. I finally got around to editing and sharing. And it comes with an important message. Just a few weeks ago, George…

Blueberry Banana Muffins
One of the easiest one bowl recipes. I love this recipe for its simplicity! And it is absolutely delicious. I add turbinado sugar to the tops for extra crunch! It is optional but highly recommended. This recipe calls for 1/2 cup smashed banana, which is one medium banana. If your banana is smaller or larger,…
Habanero Cheddar Focaccia
Focaccia is an Italian Flatbread. It is a yeasted dough and can include many flavor profiles, such as rosemary garlic, olive and tomato, and my take– a habanero cheddar. This recipe is made using Cabot Habanero Cheddar. I especially love the little zing of heat in this recipe. It is perfect with the sweet cherry…

Roasted Tomato Couscous Salad
One of my favorite flavors of summer is tomato. That’s a flavor, right? I mean they’re in their peak of freshness and availability and just taste so darn good. YUM! Needless to say, whenever I have the chance to pick up some fresh tomatoes (yes, my garden is on hold another year) I do not…
Panzanella Recipe
In the summer heat, I try to avoid turning on the oven. And when its hot we like something light and refreshing. I love this salad as it is a great way to use up some old bread. I also add summer fruit as it is refreshing and so flavorful. Panzanella is a classic Tuscan…
Hashweh Lebanese Spiced Rice
Hashweh translates to stuffing and this rice dish is traditionally made with the leftover ‘stuffing’. One would use this meat and rice stuffing to stuff vegetables like kusa (squash), peppers, eggplants, potatoes, grape leaves and more. I made this as our main course for a weeknight dinner, when I had little time to prep and…
