Cherry and Almond Cake

When Mimi Thorisson announced her new cookbook, I made sure to get a copy after I fell in love with her gorgeous first one, A Kitchen in France. The combination of cherries and almond was such an exotic choice, I made this recipe first. Very French, not overtly sweet with just a right amount of almond taste. I'll be making this cake again for sure!

Breakfast Sandwich

I am obsessed with the egg sandwich at Beet Box Cafe that features a "special" sauce, that I made my own version. My special sauce included the following: papaya, curry seasoning, minced garlic, and mayonnaise. Now I have to perfect the aioli sauce.

Goddess Dressing on Corn on the Cob

Melted butter is my usual go to, but homemade goddess dressing on corn on the cob is just…delicious!

Ricado's Italian Restaurant

A perfect "Italian" way to end a perfect school year with kids I've had the pleasure of teaching their freshmen, sophomore, and senior years. Congratulations Class of 2016.

Happy 89th Birthday

Happy Birthday to my favorite guy in the whole world. A birthday wouldn't be a birthday if it isn't celebrated at Au's Chop Suey, a family favorite.

Ice Cream Sandwich

I've always been a fan of the Chipwich! A mound of ice cream nestled between 2 delicious cookies and embellished with either nuts or chocolate chips on the sides. This is definitely a summer dessert!
