I confess, I much prefer a pear tart over any form of a pear pie. The thinly baked slices of honey like pear, often layered atop a thing layer of the seasonal jam of choice, the mid autumn, well into winter, it’s Marmalade. I quite like Quince marmalade, particularly when it’s homemade, and even better…
Mango Curd Ice Cream
And just like that, another summer month is coming to its end. July where did you go so quickly? I didn’t get to enjoy and make nearly enough ice cream to commemorate National Ice Cream Month. This food holiday isn’t just a fad either, it’s been around since 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as…

Well, February has been flying hasn’t it? Actually, I don’t mind it too much. It only means that Spring is that much closer, and with the warm weekend we’re expecting, it will be such a tease. But well worth it, as long as when March arrives it takes a chill pill and allows us to enjoy…
Apple Cider Granola
Apple cider, it’s everywhere come Fall. And I’m not complaining one bit, in fact I can’t get enough of it. Warmed in a mug and swirled with a cinnamon stick for cozy movie nights, baked into fresh from the farm soft and cakey donuts, and cooked into a decadent caramel. The other thing I’m loving, granola….

I’m going on a little getaway this weekend, well after teaching a kid’s chopped birthday party. But it’s that time of year again for my annual trip to Boston to see a New England Patriots game with my cousin. We’ve gone for the past four years, and I’m so excited to be going back to…

It’s the end of September already, yes, I feel like I just said this about August yesterday. Will I ever get used to it not being warm and sunny all year round?! Who knows, but I’m trying to mentally bypass that October is here, and that this chilly weather will only bring on more cold. *major sigh*…

Aren’t these the most breathtaking, show-stopping utterly gorgeous peonies you have ever laid eyes on! Oh sweet peony season, you were short and lovely, and I’m sure my fellow flower lovers are missing their beauty, but at least we got our equally stunning Dahlias. I mean seriously, have you seen these stunners, if you haven’t then…
