Chocolate Pudding Smoothie

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

I am building a new business…  Preparing marketing materials, strategizing on fliers, business cards, how to best use social media…  Planning opportunities to network in person and connect with people in my community.  But, I am shy, so while I tread into new territory, and step out of my comfort zone to make new connections […]

Cocoa Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The holidays are coming, work is slow, it is cold and dark…and I am craving chocolate.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been enjoying Pamela’s Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, but I truly prefer to bake for myself.  Since I didn’t have my own cocoa cookie recipe yet, I decided to do […]

Squash, spices, citrus…  This cake warms my belly and my soul every time I taste it.  I have been playing with the recipe ever since Thanksgiving and I think I have found the perfect combination of ingredients.

Tuscan Olive Oil – Olio Nuovo

Monday, November 29th, 2010

I freely admit it… I am addicted to olive oil.  I have always enjoyed it, and while others have their addiction to butter (which I am sorry to say I don’t understand) my love affair is with olive oil.  After living in Italy for 5 years, who could blame me?  Some people love the Bistecca […]

Sweet Inspiration

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

Baking and cooking is an art.  It is full of inspiration, creativity, adventure, risks, triumphs, and times when we don’t exactly triumph, but are hopefully inspired to try again with more awareness…  Sound familiar?  This of course can be applied to a lot of other facets of life…  I find that cooking is a gentle […]

Bee Pollen Smoothie

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

My friends started to consume bee pollen recently, and have turned me onto this amazing superfood. If you haven’t tried bee pollen before I definitely suggest it. A smoothie is a great way to acclimate to the unique flavors of bee pollen and to get a powerhouse of nutrients for breakfast, or a snack!

This is truly one of my favorite desserts.  It is light, fruity, and self-sufficiently sweet!  I am excited every year when the nectarines and berries are ready to dance together in this delicious combination.  I am especially excited this year to finally have time to make this too!  As some of my readers know, I […]
