This week, we have two recipes because we found these AMAZING Seckel Pears at our local farmers’ market. They are commonly known as sugar pears. I have to say this again, thank you Lile for always hooking it up! Sugar pears, as I have mentioned in my Ginger Spiced Sugar Pear Cake, are petite in […]
This week, let’s pick up from where we left off on last week’s post with foods I despised as a kid…pears! I did not like them at all. To me, they were like mushy apples dipped in sand. It was sweet but the texture was so gritty. YUCK! Add it to a long list of […]
“NANANAH!” says my son as he reaches out for his morning banana full of excitement. We are getting ready for? You guessed right! Our weekly trip to the farmers’ market. It has become a tradition for our little family to visit every weekend. I don’t even know what to do with myself when the market […]
The days around here sure seem a lot quieter. Schools in my area started yesterday. The yelling and laughter of children just stopped over the weekend. Don’t get me wrong, my kiddo has a set of pipes on him. It ranges from a whisper, sweet singing voice to ear bleeding screams of a banshee. School […]
It is mid-July and the temperature outside is comparable to the Amazonian rainforest. Although not sunny, the shaded humidity is definitely sweat inducing! We are obeying our weekly ritual of visiting my local farmers’ market. As we make small talk and rediscover all the fresh produce, we see pints of freshly harvested blueberries. It was […]
The reason I made Paleo Graham Crackers this week along with my blueberry pie popsicle is not just that it’s a match made in heaven but because of a much more practical reason. One of them is that graham crackers are a staple in many dessert recipes but most importantly for my son. When he […]
The smell of sulfur and colorful smoke immerses the air. The sound of fireworks discharging loudly nearby, all the while faint pops echo in the distance. We are celebrating the 4th of July. For those readers that live in the U.S., what does Independence Day mean to you? To my little family, the holiday means […]
“I’m your huckleberry,” is one of the most iconic lines in the movie Tombstone. It took some research but I found out what that means: I’m your guy! Now, there is more than one meaning to being someone’s huckleberry, but in this case, it means I’m your guy for delicious desserts. This past weekend, we […]
Holy guacamole! Is it already June? We are almost half way through 2016. Every year, I get so excited when June comes around. Why? Because June, July and August are peak produce seasons and all of the farmers markets are back! If you want the best quality ingredients, shop local and support your local farmers. […]
It’s warm. It’s cold. It’s chewy. It’s refreshing. It’s tangy. It’s sweet. It’s salty. It is SO many textures and flavors, all perfectly balanced and paired with one another. How can something so amazing be so simple? I’m talking about one of my favorite childhood desserts. A Thai coconut sticky rice with mangoes. It also […]
