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 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!

Almond Peach Cake No surprise I've got a lot of peach recipes up my sleeve and I'll be sharing them throughout the summer, this is just the beginning.
