Over the weekend, my Mom celebrated her 80th (!!) birthday! It’s such an achievement! At this age, she seems to have everything she wants and needs, so all she asked for was a chocolate and coffee flavored cake with vanilla ice cream. She just loves these flavors together, so that’s what we knew we had […]
In Florida, we call this time of year “First Summer” because it feels like how summer feels everywhere else in the country. Our real summer is brutally hot, so I cherish this time of year! One of our favorite things to do when the weather is perfect like this is go blueberry picking. The blueberries […]
Happy Monday, friends! Yesterday was our family dinner day where we make a huge Sunday dinner and dessert. Last night for dinner, we made Turkey Lasagna, garlic bread, a garden salad and for dessert, this Atlantic Beach Pie. But what’s an Atlantic Beach Pie? Think about if the best key lime pie you ever had […]
Another day, another lemon recipe! My tree keeps giving me Meyer lemons, so I keep making some yummy foods! This past weekend, my Mom came over for our weekly family dinner. I made that amazing Meyer Lemon Chicken Piccata and it was such a hit! I kept with the lemony theme and made a Meyer […]
Do you ever look to make a dessert but find so many of them are made with chocolate? Same. I’m not the biggest fan of chocolate so I always seek out fruit desserts. That’s when I found Sally’s Homemade Lemon Bar recipe, and I knew I had to make it! I love lemon everything! It’s […]
The first time I met Trevor’s family, his mom made me fresh homemade pavlova’s. I had never had one before and absolutely fell in love with them that day! They originate from Australia, and have a chewy marshmallow texture with a little bit of bite. As they continue to dry out, they even get a […]
This past weekend, we went blueberry picking! The blueberry picking season is short lived, only about 3-4 weeks long here in Florida. So when they’re ready, jump at the chance to pick them fresh!! They are dynamite! So sweet, firm, not mushy and just the perfect size. Every few months, we have some type of […]
Each year for Mother’s Day, Trevor & the girls bake me something sweet (like these, this, or this). This year, I wanted something super decadent – a salty and sweet pie. So what would make the Mother’s Day pie list this year? How about a Double Strawberry Pretzel Pie – a little bit of pretzel, […]
There’s a restaurant in town that Trevor and I absolutely love (and are frequent patrons of) – it’s called Court Street. It’s steps off the main drag in Hoboken and from the outside, you wouldn’t think it’s anything special. But if you come and visit and don’t eat at Court Street, you will be missing […]
This morning, I woke up to a beautiful breakfast for Mother’s Day with my two favorite things: a dutch baby and soft boiled egg cups. A Dutch baby is a big fluffy pancake, kind of like a sweet Yorkshire pudding or popover. It’s delicious topped with fruit and dusted with powdered sugar. But a drizzle […]
