Hey friends❣️

It's in my top 5 ~ wow! And I know I shouldn't play favorites. But here we are.

Oh, and it's a looker, too. Apricots are outrageous. (If you're looking for a dessert for company, this is a great choice.)

Apricot Almond Tart

I used Raspberry Apricots (found them at Whole Foods) but any ripe apricot is fine for this recipe. Something happens to them in the oven ~ their flavor just explodes.

Almond flour (loving Bob's Red Mill Superfine Almond flour for baking) gives the shortbread a wonderful rich flavor and crumb.

Lemon Chicken with Buttermilk Dressing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“

Hot chicken on cool veggies in the summer is probably my love language. Last night I made the dressing.
I look forward to making the chicken to add to the salad. So far, the dressing is delicious. I dipped some chicken in it for a snack. It is cool, refreshing and not too strong to overpower anything. It is going to be a go to recipe in the future.

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!

Pie bars & dinner bowls ❤️

Hey friends❣️ Just a few things we're making (or dreaming about making) this week. It's hot and wet here, and with the air conditioning cranking I'm leaning in to my cozy dinner bowls... Blackberry Slab Pie Bars At my grocery store the berries are housed right at the entrance. So I start off every shopping trip daydreaming about what I'm going to do with the stash I've (of course) loaded into my cart right off the bat. Blackberry pie bars can be made with just about any fresh fruit, and even...
