Summer is definitely not my favorite season, but all the sweet, ripe fruit available this time of year helps make up for it. I can’t decide which I enjoyed more—photographing these gleaming berries or gobbling up my first piece of delicious triple berry crisp. This recipe is a keeper. I’m going to munch on this all [...]
I came across this recipe on Pinterest recently, and since lately I’ve been a dessert making fiend I had to try it. These bars are so good that they rival the s’mores bars I posted last month! When I was photographing them I said to myself, “How about a photo with a bite taken out [...]
I found this recipe for White Chocolate Lemon Truffles a few months ago, and I was waiting for a special occasion to try them. Today I decided that a Thursday afternoon was occasion enough. I mostly wanted to make them because they’re so stinking pretty, but it turns out they’re delicious too. Lately I’ve been on [...]

The next time you get a bunch of sweet delicious grapes stick them in the freezer. It’s the easiest way to make your [...]
Happy Memorial Day! It looks like hot weather is here to stay. Our weather forecast is calling for highs in the mid 90′s all week. Booo! I’m currently planning a trip to Iceland in August to escape the heat and humidity of summer in North Carolina. If you live in Iceland or have visited, please [...]
In my mind summer ends with the beginning of the -bers. You know—September, October, November, and December. So enjoy today because tomorrow it’s officially fall! This summer I decided that light weight dresses are the most comfortable thing I can possibly wear in 100 degree, 100% humidity weather. (They send a nice breeze up to my [...]
