Fresh Fruit


My kitchen is full of beautiful fresh fruit. I like to keep some things simple and a bowl of fruit is perfect for breakfast or a simple dessert. 

Family Favorite


Chicken Tomato Basil Pasta





Classic Guzpacho


With the days turning warmer here is a great dinner for when you don't want to turn on a stove. Classic guzpacho with cheese quesadillas.


Donut-Cake!!


When I saw this cake on a post by http://www.amateurgourmet.com/ I had to know if it really tasted like a cake donut. Donuts in general are one of my favorite foods ever. I have always wanted to make homemade ones, but it's always seemed like to much work. This cake took thirty min. to make and thirty five min. to bake. It was so easy!! Best part...It tasted just like a cake donut. http://www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2012/04/catherine-newmans-donut-cake.html




Veggies


It's Friday and that means farm fresh veggies!! Here's some of the beautiful produce that came today!







Spring Minestrone


I was looking for a recipe that would use some of the spring veggies that I had in my fridge when I came across this one. It was delicious! I used gluten free breadcrumbs, left out the noodles and added a little white wine.  










Happy Easter!
