Apple Pie with Honey & Thyme

I had the opportunity to stay at a beautiful house in Pasadena the past few days to watch some really lovely doggies. I’m a dogwalker and petsitter extraordinaire!

The Galette Strikes Back.

I promised I would come back with another galette post plus a recipe. I was hoping to have a gorgeous, picturesque, classic French looking galette, but alas, this galette has my usual “homemade” look. Yes, homemade looking sounds much better than crappy looking. Le… Continue Reading “The Galette Strikes Back.”

World’s Best Grilled Cheeze.

Meet the best grilled cheeze ever. I’m pretty sure Paula Deen is the one responsible for this recipe idea. Yes, you read right. I said Paula Deen!

Northwest Lavender “Crab” Cakes w/ Creamy Lavender Honey Sauce

Crabs. Crabs have a bad reputation because they look like spiders of the ocean, they pinch and they’re an STD. Well, those are different crabs, but still…. Personally, I have always loved crabs….the kind from the ocean, ha-cha-cha-cha-cha! In my meat-eating days, crab was… Continue Reading “Northwest Lavender “Crab” Cakes w/ Creamy Lavender Honey Sauce”

This Cake is a Lie

This past weekend, a good friend of mine got married. The event was called “My Big Fat Geek Wedding” and was a themed/costume wedding. I was a bridesmaid, dressed as Nausicaa, from Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. If you’ve never… Continue Reading “This Cake is a Lie”

Peaches & Cream + Strawberries & Cream = Mouthgasm.
