Hey friends❣️

Some of the most elegant spring desserts start with a perfect jar of preserves...

​15 Desserts You Can Make With a Jar of Jam!​

Jam desserts are one of the smartest (and most delicious) baking shortcuts waiting for you right in the jam aisle of your supermarket. I love to take advantage of the current trend for exotic flavors and unusual blended preserves to make unique jam desserts, but you might prefer the classics ~ you get to be the creative genius behind these recipes 🙂

This lineup of spring desserts is perfect for this transitional season ~ they're easy, share-able, elegant, and, of course, delicious.

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!

homemade horchata

Hey friends❣️ I lived 30 years in Los Angeles, and have family scattered all over Arizona, so I've had lots of amazing authentic Mexican food ~ but somehow I never crossed paths with horchata, until now! How to Make Horchata It's thick, rich, and creamy with a toasted almond flavor I can't get enough of. It's an authentic taste of Mexico and fun to serve at barbecues as an alternative to alcohol or sugary sodas. Just make up a big pitcher and provide plenty of ice! This is a good weekend to...

I'll pull out my sheet pan and throw open the kitchen windows! Sheet Pan Smashburgers Honestly I don't mind, these smashburgers are always a hit (it's probably my special sauce!) My favorite burgers have never been the same-old same-old... Salmon Burgers with dill sauce (or 30-second tartar sauce) make a nice change from beef....
