🌿 Sunday on Great Island



Hey friends❣️

Happy Sunday!

Wow, it’s the last Sunday in July. That was fast. August might technically be high summer, but it never quite feels that way. Once August 1st hits, life starts moving in a different direction, which is all the more reason to drink in these days while we can.

I’m sharing a little personal summer nostalgia today. I got my love of hot butterscotch sundaes from my mom (who also introduced me to hot fudge). The memory of those warm sauces melting into a scoop of ice cream is a good one.

My easy sauces are the answer to how you throw together dessert on a summer night with fruit, pound cake, or a pint of ice cream.

Baking with summer fruit ☀️

I'm too tired to cook 🫠


My recipes are bold and vibrant, but always 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!

Sweet corn gazpacho

Hey friends❣️ I’d be hard pressed to remember the last time I cooked a proper meal this month. But that doesn’t mean we’re not eating well, and my blender has been doing a lot of the work.
