Fresh Mint Pesto
I conceived of this for (yesterday’s) “Three Pea Soup”. Last night dollops were added to GF Pasta Primavera. It’s also delicious on pizza grilled with fresh cherry tomatoes and mozzarella! Hold the boat! Mix it with, or use in lieu of, mayonaise on a turkey sandwich with spring lettuces, thinly sliced apple, and feta cheese. … Continue reading

Adult Grilled Cheese meets Adult PB&J: love at first bite!

Another reason to bake some fresh GF Bread (or grab Udi’s or a loaf … Continue reading

Orange Apricot Pinenut Biscotti
When these (cookies) are in the oven, the aroma in the kitchen is sublime! The rich batter is a perfect host for pinenuts, dried apricots, and orange zest. Cornmeal rounds out the flavors and gives a little extra texture. Bake them for breakfast, lunch, or after-dinner treats. Biscotti plus cappuccino: perfection! Another nod to San Francisco’s Bi-Rite … Continue reading

Whitney’s Grand Marnier Brownies – an adult treat
Four professional women had their first child within 4 weeks of each other. We were connected by mutual friends who felt it might be (fun, helpful?) for us to share the dramatic life change. Understanding the need for support we formed a Play Group that met Mondays from 3-5. If our and the world’s problems … Continue reading
