I’m pretty sure my favorite pie of all-time is strawberry rhubarb, but it’s hard to choose. Sometimes though, I just don’t want to go to the trouble of making dough and rolling it out. This was one of those days. And then I remembered a blackberry fool recipe I saw somewhere and thought I would [...]

Spring is definitively here, and maybe we’re already into summer with temperatures hitting close to 90 degrees today. It’s time for some no-cook or quick cooking recipes so that I don’t overheat the apartment with the stove. One of my favorites from the cleanse earlier this year was this salmon with pepita pesto. The pesto is [...]

I’m a big fan of panna cotta– you can make it ahead, you don’t have to bake it, and it’s creamy and delicious.

I’ve had two really memorable and fantastic vacations to the Florida Keys, thanks to the suggestion of an old friend and coworker who loves the Keys. As soon as we go over the bridge leaving Miami and enter the Keys, life seems to slow down and everything seems right. We stop for some fish tacos [...]
Blueberry Milkshake

Another year, another milkshake. I love blueberries and anything with blueberries in it. So it was only a matter of time until I came up with this milkshake. I used to put blueberries over vanilla ice cream, which was the inspiration for this. You can use a blender to make it, or if you’re lazy [...]
