Banana Recipes to Make Now

Think about it...when summer ends we're so excited to start baking again and we obsess over apples and pumpkin. Then the holidays hit and it's all gingerbread and cranberries. January baking is a thing unto itself and for me it's now about rediscovering the simple pleasures like...banana bread. And banana muffins. And banana bars...

No ripe bananas? No worries, head on over to the post and I'll show you how to take a supermarket banana from unripe to unreal in no time!

Lingonberry Jam Tart 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was soo delicious! I’ve made it several times- with the lingonberry jam and also with raspberry jam when I couldn’t get the lingonberry jam at Publix. I’ve also had to make it in a non-tart pan and we just cut out pieces like brownies and it worked out great.

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!

Greek Avgolemono Soup

Hey friends❣️ I’m sharing one of my favorite soups with you today ~ it comes from sunny Greece and it’s ridiculously simple to make. If you love lemon, chicken, and rice (or pasta), you’re going to love this one. I’m also sharing a new-old bread from the 1970s. Anna Thomas herself calls it “the best bread I’ve ever made,” which is high praise from someone who defined the era and inspired so many of us with a lifelong respect for real food.
