This sweet treat really just transports you to the tropical beaches with tall palm trees, crystal blue waters and white sand beaches. Mangos, pineapple and dragon fruit are all blended together with a splash of fresh orange juice and a banana, churned in the ice …
This spice blend is a big favorite around here. I had to make extra just to keep in a jar. It will last in an air tight container for months but I guarantee it won’t last that long. It’s bold and spicy and would be …
Looking for a really quick throw together salad for that Fourth of July party this weekend?? This is it!! All the summer flavors! Watermelon, nectarines, cucumbers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, herbs and feta, and a couple snap peas just for fun! It’s so versatile and bright with …
It’s like the classic watermelon feta salad but I added some cucumbers and a little hot honey to it. The sweet spicy kick to the watermelon is the perfect combination, with the crisp cucumbers, salty feta, and sweet juicy watermelon. Really quick and great for …
It’s almost fall!! So let all the apple spiced things begin! These scones are light and fluffy, and so good! There’s nothing worse than a dense scone. They are studded with fresh apples and a little chai spice. Perfect for a chilly morning and a …
I’ve been thinking about making pop tarts for awhile now and I thought the first day of spring would be perfect! It’s a perfectly sweet homemade jam made with fresh berries, a little maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla wrapped up in a buttery flaky pie …
I love making this for breakfast or a snack. I’ve been really craving citrus lately and since it’s in season I thought the color of blood orange would be so pretty with the chia seeds. They are a total superfood that have a ton …
While apple season is fully upon us, (my absolute favorite) I went to the apple orchard Sunday and had so much fun! We went to a pick your own apples and spent hours wandering around the apple trees and drinking wine in the grass. …

I love a good caprese salad, who doesn’t?! I made this yesterday and with all the beautiful citrus in season right now I wanted to try something different and combine all the fresh colors and flavors or caprese with the citrus pop of blood …
Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Who’s ready?! We celebrated a friendsgiving yesterday so I decided to take the standard apple pie and spice it up with some crystalized ginger. You can always buy a pie crust as well, but there is something special …
One of my favorite breads to make during the summer is zucchini bread with all the bountiful zucchini at the farmers market during the summer. The blueberries I had gotten from berry picking up in the Keweenaw Peninsula. There are tons of wild berries …
It’s berry season!! The berries this year at the market are incredible. I found some amazing blueberries at the farmers market yesterday and got some of the sweetest raspberries from my friend’s back yard. I froze half of the raspberries and the other half …
So what is one to do with all those strawberries of the season?! Make jam! There’s nothing better than homemade jam. I used strawberries and rhubarb and instead of adding the pectin I used an apple, and spiced it up with a cinnamon stick …
