We are reposting this family favorite. School is nearly out and that means summer is about to begin. We don’t have huge plans this year. I think we are all so glad to be in one place that we are going to take advantage of this new life living so close to an ocean and […]

Lemon Posset with Friends
Last night we had a friend over for dinner and wanted a light and simple dessert to serve after. Nothing too fancy, but something with loads of flavor. We remembered a blog post we had done years ago (before we knew how to take good photos) on lemon posset and knew it would be perfect. […]
Jam Filled Lemon Almond Cookies
At Christmas time we love to bake cookies with the kids. We often prep dough well ahead of time and have it ready in the freezer to pull out the night before. It also makes it easy to bake off for a quick after school treat. Is there anything better than coming home from school […]
Grilled Avocados

Lemon Black Raspberry Custards

I don’t think I ever really pondered how a black raspberry was different from a […]
Cucumber & Apple Israeli Couscous Salad with Lemon Oregano Dressing
If your herb garden is anything like ours, there are some herbs which grow in abundance. Oregano had always been one of those for us but this year, despite having what seemed like an easy winter, our oregano did not come back. When we had an entire bed full last year we used it all […]
