Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese ...

Carrot cake is a quintessential dessert of spring. This recipe is moist slightly sweet, and perfectly spiced. It is paired with a rich and velvety cream cheese frosting.

Avocado and Asparagus Tartines with Basil Pesto

Asparagus is so beautiful this time of year, so I wanted to create a recipe around it. I made some basil and pumpkin seed pesto, and drizzled it on toasted bread with asparagus, avocado, and shaved Parmesan.

Pancakes with Concord Grape Syrup

Because his family is a true-to-the-bone pancake family, I really wanted him to share with me the secrets to making a good pancake, thin and delicate, perfectly browned on the outside, soft on the inside. He gave me a recipe, one that he has memorized. A set of very specific instructions, the right temp, the right amount of time for frying. I followed it to a tee, and sure enough, the pancakes came out the way I had always dreamed they would.

Savory Corn and Cheddar Waffles with Avocado

Sebastian is especially into these savory corn and cheddar waffles. They are fun and kid-friendly, but I also really like eating them myself, so it's a win-win for all of us. I usually make a large batch and then store them in the fridge and reheat over the course of a few days.

I managed to pull off making another meal using the grill because it is still hot outside. I went to the market today and bought every variety of produce I could find - corn, cherries, zucchini, peaches, raspberries, mushrooms, potatoes etc. I'd been wanting to make a savory galette for a few days now, but contemplated the appropriate techniques for using the grill.

This salad was a result of emptying the fridge and putting all of my favorite 'summer foods' into one place. It's a lighter meal, one to be paired with a nice slice of bread and a glass of wine. At least I can be decisive when it comes to my food.

Slowly trying to shift back into work mode. Still trying to figure out that work life balance. I spent the last two days trying to figure out how to log into my blog, where I stored all my photography gear, and second guessing whether I have this in

Today we made @halfbakedharvest fudgey chocolate brownies. It's been forever since I've made brownies, and now I remember why. Brownies are my weakness and there is no question that I will eat this whole tray.
This bowl of creamy cheesy risotto is the ultimate indulgence. I never pass up the opportunity to eat risotto. Rice on its own is pretty good, but when you cook it in a savory broth with butter and shallots and then finish it with cheese and roasted
