Strawberry tart cookies
Well, Thanksgiving’s over, and so is our annual pumpkin-palooza. Which means it’s time to move on … to Christmas cookies! Having heard that I’m looking for cookie ideas, my co-worker and fellow blogger Sarah Linn let me borrow this great book from now-defunct Gourmet magazine. It’s basically a collection of their best cookie recipes — …

Everyday chocolate cake with berries
The past few weeks I’d been feeling guilty about cooking anything that wasn’t strictly summer-related. Produce is so fantastic right now, it seems blasphemous to make something that can be made any time of year. But sometimes I just want chocolate.

Funnel cake
Last week I went to the California Mid-State Fair. For the first time ever! It was a whole day of first-time-evers, in fact. I sat in a fire truck for the first time ever. I watched a riveting demonstration of the cleaning product Touch of Purple for the first time ever. And, most importantly, I …

Red white and blueberry four-layer cake
“Wow.” That was my brother’s text-messaged response to the phone pic I sent him of this cake, in all its berrylicious glory. It’s a pretty “wow” kind of dessert: Four layers of pound cake doused with raspberry-orange sauce, slathered with cream cheese frosting, and piled high with fresh berries. But it’s not fussy — it’s …

In this blackberry-strawberry pie, that’s where! (I know blackberries aren’t exactly blue, but they’re closer to blue than apples, so I’m going to say …

Fruit salsa sundaes
So I recently acquired some mangoes, thanks to my good buddies Harry and David, but I didn’t really want to eat them. Nothing against mangoes. They’re just not my favorite. I figured, though, that if I were to find a recipe that incorporated a mango, I’d probably like it just fine. Especially if that recipe …

Strawberry shortcakes
Prior to making this recipe, I don’t think I’d ever had an actual strawberry shortcake. Well, unless you count the popular 1980s toys. I had lots of those.

Ricotta orange pound cake with strawberries
So, I’m still on that orange kick. But this time, there’s a twist: strawberries! A few weeks ago, after enviously watching Larissa pluck strawberries from her bountiful SLO Veg box, I drove down to the South County to pick up some berries of my own at one of those roadside fruit stands. Then I bought …

Caribbean Passion-ish smoothie
I decided to make smoothies this weekend to celebrate an exciting addition to my kitchen: a blender! I’d never owned a blender before, but that wasn’t ever really a problem until we started this blog and I suddenly had to prepare food in ways a microwave couldn’t handle. Without a blender, I had to get …
