ruffled blueberry chocolate cake

Last weekend we drove to Virginia to visit the Fall Harvest festival at Mount Rogers. Fall is is one of the most beautiful seasons to visit the Virginia outdoors and enjoy the beautiful colorful foliage. I was very lucky on this trip, for many, many reasons. I got to see sugarcane being harvested and squeezed … Continue reading →

pumpkin stuffed naans

Its nice to check something off your bucket list and this weekend I got the opportunity to put a check mark right next to paintball. I never got the chance to do this when I was a kid and now this dream has been completed.  I’ll admit to being a little anxious about the bruises … Continue reading →

blueberry chocolate jam

Summer has ended and here I am in the kitchen trying to seal every bit of my memories in glass jars that will remind me of the good and happy times.

whiskey-kissed brown turkey fig cake

Not having the heart to let it spend the night out in the rain and potentially exposed to the dogs and cats of … Continue reading →

Peach and Black Raspberry Cobbler

Sometimes during our summers we would visit our grandfather’s family home that was located a few hours away from the city. Since the house faced the port, we would watch the ships enter and leave the docks. Some days were spent on the sandy shores of the beach where we’d act silly and play in … Continue reading →

orange and fennel semolina cake

I have a citrus addiction, limes, lemons, sweet limes, oranges, blood oranges, etc. There is something wonderful about the fragrant smell of citrus plants and trees. When I was 11 or 12 years old, I remember urging my father to pick me a little lime plant. The poor lime plant didn’t last for more than a … Continue reading →

chilled mint yogurt soup

It was pretty exciting when one of the editors at the Huffington Post asked to feature my chocolate mint cake on their website, this was a great start to the holidays! With summer in full swing, we slipped away to Fire Island in New York for a week with a couple of friends. We were … Continue reading →
