‘Tis the sea-son for boo-zy milk-shakes
FALALALALAAAAAAA …
When the temperatures reach anywhere above 85° fahrenheit, and it pains me to be outside, life calls for an iced coffee, or smoothie, or in this case, a Boozy Caramel Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake! [Read more…]
Happy summer, folks!!
Don’t argue, because it is soooooo summer right now.
I don’t even care if it’s actually still two weeks away, Florida got the memo early, as usual.
We even had an out-of-season tropical system brewing a few weeks ago! I mean, really.
Go home, Mother Nature, you’re drunk.
When I think of summer, I think of sun-hats, cold beer, lazy afternoons by the pool, and all-day picnics by the grill with lots of snacks to keep your tummy full until dinner is ready. I don’t know about you, but I can imagine a big bowl of this Chunky Fruit Salsa right in the middle of everything! [Read more…]
Summertime is here, and who doesn’t love a good ‘ol key lime pie for dessert as the days swelter? Surprise your dairy free friends with this delightfully creamy {Dairy Free} Key Lime Pie! It’s so good that folks who aren’t dairy free enjoy it, too!
When I was a kid, my dad, sister and I wanted to surprise my mom for Mother’s Day with a homemade Key Lime Pie.
I remember slaving away in the kitchen. We juiced tons of key limes. We prepared the Graham cracker crust. We even made whipped cream.
And when that pie came out of the oven, it looked gorgeous.
The season of spring is upon us and the strawberries in Oregon are overflowing with flavor and sweetness. The rhubarb time is here and what a special time it is. Rhubarb and strawberries go hand in hand not just because of the complimentary sweet-to-sour or their matching color palate but because they ripen at the same time.
Every year I look forward with anticipation to the farmer’s market opening and that big sign that reads Fresh rhubarb sweet local strawberries! It pulls me from my tasks, from my busy, busy days it makes me pull the car over and wander around the market with basket in hand, eyes almost popping out of my head as they bounce from bountiful stand to bountiful stand.
This year I wanted something easy for breakfast with my family on the coast so I whipped up this easy little treat. It is perfect for breakfast, a little snack with tea or for a light dessert and is ready in no time at all. I love serving it in the cast iron pan you cook it in too; it brings that sweet little farmhouse charm right from oven to table. What I love is how quick and delicious this is, no crusts to make and chill then roll out and bake just a little fruit and a little flour and a lot of flavor.
