That Sweet, Sweet Spot 🤩 Where Impressive Meets Easy

Hey friends❣️

Peaches, of course. But the other stone fruits are my true passion...

​Dorie Greenspan's Dimply Plum Cake​

One bite of this gloriously simple plum cake with its crunchy butterscotch-y crust and juicy interior reminds me of two things: why I bake, and why I love plums. This cake is unique, gorgeous, and super delish. You really can’t go wrong with plums, they have such a lovely tart berry-like flavor. I snacked on one piece immediately after my photo shoot, and have a few more under my glass dome for our breakfast tomorrow (which I’m already looking forward to!)

​Apricot Upside Down Cake​

The drama of this wonderful apricot upside down cake happens when you flip the cake over and see the glorious caramelized fruit topping with a sauce that’s begun to infiltrate the cake in parts. So good.

The interesting part? It's not hard at all! I have a plum version, too.​

​Baked Feta Cheese with Olives 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“
It is one of my go to recipes, if I want to impress someone. A tweak, I only use the Castelvetrano olives for the buttery taste and smoke with pecan wood.

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!

palmiers

Hey friends❣️ One of the best perks of working from home? I can slip out to the patio whenever I need a little reset. It’s my happy place these days ~ I’ll mess around in the herb garden, yank a few weeds, or just sit and listen to the birds for a bit before heading back to the kitchen to wrangle the day’s recipe ⚔️ The patio is also the spot where I enjoy that all important end of the day snack!
