Can you believe it’s already back to school time? This summer flew by for us, jam packed with camps and time with friends and family. Those carefree days and late nights for the little ones have come to an end. And as their minds drift back to the classroom, I’m looking forward to actually being able to get something done start

Mango Cupcakes
August 1, 2019
Timing worked out serendipitously for sure. Many weeks ago as I was planning the third recipe in my mango series, cupcakes were on my radar. What I hadn’t done was check the calender! I was born on a Friday, a MONTH after my due date and weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs 12 oz!! – my poor mom. I arrived one day before my -
Mango & Shrimp Lettuce Tacos
July 25, 2019
We’re in week two of mango heaven! While no small part of me wanted to do three straight weeks of desserts for this mango mini-series, I decided to dive into the savory side with these shrimp and mango “tacos.” (Don’t fret, I’ve got a mango treat in store for next week!) In lieu of traditional tortillas, using lettuce wraps -
Mango Cobbler
July 18, 2019
I don’t have a favorite color, a favorite movie, a favorite flavor of ice cream… but, I do have a favorite fruit. It’s no secret I’ve got a huge crush on mango!

Star-Studded Berry Tart
July 1, 2019
I love this holiday! Red, white and blue everywhere… the 4th of July spirit is so infectious. What’s more, two of our country’s favorite berries come together, lending a hand to make the desserts shared across our nation festive and fun. And for this Independence Day, do I have just the treat for you! Ripe, red -
Pickled Zucchini Spears
June 20, 2019
Without fail, each spring, one of the most frequently asked questions I get as a chef is, “What am I supposed to do with all this zucchini?” For those gardeners out there with zukes still left on the vine– and for those that aren’t green thumbs but would love another idea of how to put zucchinis to work– this one’s for -
“Caesar Salad” Potatoes
May 30, 2019
There must be 101 ways to make potato salad, and in our family we do them all. From the traditional and creamy mayo-based, to the lighter, pucker inducing vinegar-based, I haven’t met a homemade spud salad that I don’t like. Some of the most “out there” versions that I’ve done are an Asian style with miso
