    I’ve been deep in recipe development this week and getting excited for my upcoming milestone! Taking over the kitchen at a local cafe. It’s located in a small airport, which sounds odd. But the space is small and manageable for me. One of the things I’m excited to offer on…

    Strawberry Lemon Bundt Cake

    I spent part of this week moving furniture up and down stairs, installing bed frames, and dangling mattresses over balconies. Thankfully, I had a sweet treat waiting for me, which I made Thursday. My mood was a little down at the beginning of the week. But we had a sunny…

    Another week of 2026 is complete. I’m still in holiday relaxation mode with days full of planning, design, and recipe research. I’ve been working on my sourdough focaccia recipe, too, inspired by the most amazing bread I had in Portugal in 2024. But I took time to come up with…

    Happy new year! I can’t believe it’s 2026. I still feel like it’s 2016 sometimes. Time is going by fast. And this week I needed another simple recipe to keep my head above water. I normally start my recipe in the middle of the week, but with the holidays and…

    Happy Christmas week! I’m just settling down on Boxing Day after a great Christmas filled with food, family, and movies. Today I decided to make something savory since I’ve been eating so many sweets. My beloved pecan sticky buns, gingerbread cookies, and homemade peanut butter balls. I’ve been craving mac…

    Chocolate Torte with Peppermint

    We put up our Christmas tree last Sunday, which has been a joy to look at every day. Although as I get older I’m afraid the Christmas spirit has become more elusive. Time is going by too fast. I decided to make something super festive and packed with chocolate this…

  • Pizza Fritta

    Pizza Fritta

    Well I have a new favorite recipe! I didn’t work too hard on this one, either, to be honest. Because I’ve been making homemade pizza dough every week for the past year. This week we had a cold front in Maine, which brought some bitter, windy weather. In order to…

    Apple Sage Stuffing

    This was a big week! Thanksgiving. And a little of last week included some local adventures. I woke up early on Friday and drove to Portland. About an hour drive. I was exhausted for a few days after, then went straight to work preparing my Thanksgiving meal. I used a…
