My NEW Lemon Pistachio Snack Cake is a Keeper 🍋

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

This new cake is going on my list of favorites. I keep a running list and every once in a while I'll share it in a post or an email. I'm picky about the sweets I allow myself (since I'm around them a lot) and I've gotten pretty good at resisting, But this cake won me over.

The lemon is assertive, and the addition of crushed nuts in the batter gives the cake a wonderful soft, moist crumb. It's one of those cakes that slices wafer thin, which just encourages snacking :)

"This recipe can be adapted in so many ways, and the dressing is amazing. Simple to make, but delicious to taste. Thank you. I made a version last night, and used farro as a base, and then, dover sole. I feel lucky as I have my own chives in the garden."

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.

~ see you at the table!

🌿 Sunday on Great Island

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! Before I get to the snacks, something's been on my mind lately... In a moment when food content can be generated on a screen in seconds, I’m still here cooking real food in a real kitchen and taking real pictures of it. Why? Because food is about as human as it gets: we literally become what we eat, after all. And food inspires real passion. We crave it, we celebrate with it, and a perfect plate of fries can make just about anything better. When I create a recipe,...

The dessert everybody wants this weekend ❄️

Hey friends❣️ We made it through the torrential Midwest rains and today the sun is shining ~ you better believe dinner will be outside on the patio tonight. And dessert is the headliner. I’ve got a brand new recipe to share today and I’m kind of in love. How could you not love this pie? It’s got everything we want in a summer dessert: a chocolate crumb crust, a frosty spiked mocha filling, a chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream.
