I’ve always been intrigued by a panzanella salad, crunchy bread soaking up delicious juices of fresh tomatoes…what’s not to love. But it’s taken me years to finally get around to trying this! It did not disappoint! This is perfect if you have some leftover sourdough, or any crusty bread will do. This is great withRead more
Temperatures are dropping, so I spent this weekend removing our 4 tomato plants, and holy moly did I end up with a lot of tomatoes! Two large bowl-fulls. After a call out on my social media, I got a great suggestion to make Green Tomato Quick Bread, it totally blew my mind to think ofRead more
I’d never made Hot Cross Buns before last year when I decided to give them a try to take to the Easter breakfast potluck. Now I wish I’d grown up with them being a yearly tradition.

I don’t usually get very fancy with vegetable side dishes, but when I saw these broccoli melts from Smitten Kitchen, I knew I’d be giving them a try. These are fantastic!

As soon as I saw this recipe I knew that’s what my bananas were destined for. And then, with 3 nicely blackened bananas on my counter, I read the recipe…and realized I only needed 1 banana. So this recipe is heavily adapted so I could use my 3 bananas. It turned out as deliciously asRead more
This strata was something that I whipped up because we had guests coming to the beach, a loaf of bread getting stale, and some egg whites leftover from the German Chocolate Cake. This is a great recipe to make for company since you assemble it the night before and bake it off in the morning.Read more

Bruschetta is a fun, classy appetizer that’s perfect for your next get together.
