Endless Wonder: The Santa Monica Farmer’s Market.

I hate to come over here and bitch. Dirty life and its stresses and things. Boo. Nay. Well, be gone stress, before I cut you. All I will say is that I moved really fast and unexpectedly (always a good time) and that there… Continue Reading “Endless Wonder: The Santa Monica Farmer’s Market.”

Valencia Orange Ice Cream w/ Olive Oil & Chocolate Chunks.

Wow. Totally did not intend to take a two week hiatus from this blog, but it’s been getting real over here. Really real. I am moving unexpectedly this weekend.

Black Garlic Brownies w/ Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Topping & Kabobs.

Black garlic; a fine ingredient for brownies. No seriously. It’s made by fermenting regular garlic. It’s sweet and savory at the same time and totally delicious.

Meyer Lemon Strawberry Whipped Cream Pie and Honey Balsamic Strawberry Galette.

Strawberries were my favorite as a kid. They have always captivated me with their bright red colors and tiny seeded flesh. I enjoy the juicy sweet varieties and even like the not so sweet ones too. There’s just something about them that I have… Continue Reading “Meyer Lemon Strawberry Whipped Cream Pie and Honey Balsamic Strawberry Galette.”

Apple-Lavender-“Goat Cheese” Galette.

Herbs and fruit, I loves it. Add a tofu based vegan chèvre and some wine and you have yourself an afternoon. 😉 This is a pretty loosey goosey recipe. It really was thrown together with leftovers of all sorts. I used this recipe for… Continue Reading “Apple-Lavender-“Goat Cheese” Galette.”

Strawberry-Rhubarb Key Lime Pie w/ Toasted Coconut Cream.

Saw this pie on one of my very favorite blogs Eat The Love. Irvin’s creations are of endless inspiration and this latest pie was no exception.
