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....

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!
