two summer soups and one autumn treat 🍂


August recipe drop

This month: two soups celebrating some of my favorite summer produce are followed by a sweet treat that welcomes the approaching autumn.

First, a very French take on zucchini leek soup, made with Provençal seasonings and finished with a luxurious drizzle of Sicilian olive oil.

Next, my love for summer tomatoes in soup form! Roasted garlic adds a caramelized depth and a topper of lemon-pepper whipped cream makes this soup decidedly dunkable.

Last but not least--Pumpkin. Spice. Blondies. Gooey and chewy, these bites are loaded with pumpkin pie seasoning and topped with a gooey schmear of cream cheese frosting.

See ya next year summer!

Fall, I've been waiting for you 🧡

and as promised....

April's recipes in the 🌙 kitchen Well, it's been a few months since I sent out this allegedly "monthly" email. A lot has happened! The site got a big upgrade (as did the extent of my technical expertise 🤓) and I've been learning my way around a new camera. In the midst of it all, lots of goodies have gone up recently. Indulgent Pink Peppercorn Shortbread and Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies, balanced by solid dinner options like Chimichurri Pork Chops and Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs. Plus, a recipe...

October recipe wrap-up I'm usually more of a savory gal, but last month I surprised myself with dreamy thoughts of baked goods. Rather than try to salad myself out of it, I leaned right into the craving for cozy autumn baking and we ended up having an October full of sweet treats--no tricks in sight! From maple-buttercream crowned Spiced Chai Cake to cinnamon-sugar dusted Applesauce Fritters and ginger laced Acorn Squash Bread to buttery Pumpkin Brioche Bread Pudding, last month was packed...

September recipe send-off Last month was full of fall festivities! First, we celebrated Oktoberfest 🍻 With crispy-crunchy pretzel crusted chicken schnitzel, drizzled with tangy mustard beer cheese sauce, and served alongside savory German-style sautéed red cabbage. Then, a recipe for autumn pesto, made with pumpkin seeds and arugula. P.S. I share my Michelin kitchen trick for keeping pesto bright green! And finally, kicking back with a spiced vanilla chai old fashioned that keeps you warm you...
