Almond Recipes for Almond Lovers 🤟


Hey friends❣️

There's a reason you crave almond flavor ~ its sweet, nutty, slightly floral flavor leaves a lingering finish that no other flavor can match. It comes from benzaldehyde found in bitter almonds, which is responsible for the strong, marzipan-like, cherry-almond aroma we associate with almond extract and certain almond-flavored products. Yum.

“I followed the recipe as is & it was so good, my family really liked it! I used pre-shredded cabbage & precut celery & carrots, just chopped those finer. I’m Asian & already had all the spices & sauce ingredients in the pantry.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

rhubarb cake

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Have you got your spring holiday menus all planned out yet? I like to start the wheels turning about a week ahead ~ enough time to plan, but still room to be spontaneous.

Spotting the first rhubarb of the season is probably the most dramatic moment of my cooking year. It gets my heart racing in the...
