Since moving to Maine late last year, we didn’t really know what to expect in terms of what our yard would be like. We have over 3 acres of land, with a lot of it being wooded, and we’ve had lots of fun exploring so far. Baxter is living the dream too! 😊 One of … More Easy Blackberry Syrup
During the hot summer months, almost every night of the week, Andrew and I will sit on the patio outside and grill anything and everything in our fridge. Recently, we had some corn on the cob and instead of just grilling it and eating off the cob, I decided to whip up a salad using … More Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad
I basically refuse to stop using summer produce until it’s officially fall, which means I have approximately two weeks to put peaches and berries into literally everything I make.

One of my favorite things to grow in my garden (thanks to Andrew who has the green thumb in the house…) is basil. Not only is it easy to maintain, but it grows super fast and tastes good in just about every dish. As a result of the field of basil growing outside, I find … More Pea Mint Pesto Crostini
Last week, Boston decided that it is would be summer, and that is something I can get on board with! With temperatures in the 80s, I wanted to make a dessert that would be tart and refreshing. Key lime pie is one of my very favorite desserts that I’ve never attempted in my own kitchen. I … More Lime Pie
