Lemon Berry Pavlova Parfaits

Posted on April 20, 2015

The prettiest parfaits layered with lemon whipped cream, fluffy meringue and fresh berries. I’d love to say that I had this big “creative” idea to turn a pavlova into a parfait but that would be a lie.

Posted on June 16, 2014

A summer berry crisp topped with buttery oat crumble.  It just so happens to be gluten-free! I know I’ve talked about this before, but I have a serious issue when I see summer fruit at Costco.  I can NOT buy enough.  A few weeks ago, I needed food for five days, just five.  Now, given…

Strawberry Banana Bread and Childhood Friends

Posted on July 18, 2011

Another summer weekend has come and gone and I feel like time is really flying.  I spent this past weekend in Philly for a bachelorette party and bridal shower for one of my best friends since fourth grade.  One of my favorite things about weddings is the series of events where you get to be…
