I love to bake all year long, but I think I enjoy it the most in the fall. This week’s selections for my Friday Favorites certainly reflect that. I had good intentions of choosing a few savory recipes, but there were just so many sweet ones that grabbed my eye. I’m hoping you’ll love them as much as…
If you ask me, summer just isn’t the same without some fresh pesto… You can’t beat a fresh piece of crusty sourdough bread slathered with some pesto. I could eat that for dinner… And, I think I have on a few summer evenings! We all love basil pesto… It’s a classic. But, there’s no reason…
Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away… Are you ready?

By roasting my own almonds, I have the opportunity to get a bit creative with fun flavors.
After going camping a few weeks back, I’ve been on a bit of a smores kick. While I have been known to roast marshmallows on the gas burners on my kitchen stove when cravings hit, this time I decided to channel my inspiration into these nutty smores bars. This was one of those recipes that…
I haven’t been doing so well with my Friday Favorites lately… Sometimes I have trouble keeping up. I do enjoy reading everyone’s blogs, though, so I’m doing my best to keep the Friday Favorites coming. This week I thought I’d get right to it and share a few extras with you to make up for…
