    It’s 92 degrees here today, and seriously feels like summer. Which means fruit-based desserts and frosty treats are about to take over my bread and cookie baking ways 🙂 First up is the perfect spring baked dessert: a simple guilt free berry cobbler from Neal Barnard’s book Food for Life.

  • Basil Berry Jam

      I never knew how easy it was to make your own jam until I made this Giada De Laurentiis recipe for blackberry basil jam.  It was delicious and so easy.   So when I went on some crazy berry-buying-bender last week out of sheer excitement for so many delicious smelling berries in the middle…
