Spring has bloomed! And yet with all that’s been happening around the world, many of us missed it or didn’t celebrate it like we always do when the flowering trees once again brighten our days. At the first sight of tree’s flowering buds, I’m outside as much as the weather and time permits, taking walks…
Chocolate – Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Where most would say January felt long and dragged, I on the other hand felt it was long in every perfect way! The kind of slow and long that allowed time for work, free creative time, time for personal stuff and simple relaxing things like stitching, cooking, baking and reading. But February. Now, February has…

d’Anjou Pear + Marmelade Tart
I confess, I much prefer a pear tart over any form of a pear pie.
