I'm feeling ridiculously domestic today thanks to my friend Leigh sending over a must try granola recipe.

Having two pastry chefs as land mates is proving to be delicious.

Breakfast this morning is giving me hope that today will be full of good surprises.

I love this salad. The flavor profile is so different from what we normally cook at home with the mix of citrus, fennel and thyme. Plus, I love giving you an excuse to buy fresh herbs. I've always felt so fancy buying them...

I'm on my second cup as I type this. I take mine warmed with extra cinnamon on the the stove. Cliff takes his in herbal coffee. It's such a treat.

My dear friend Lindsey had a giving birthday party where she cooked dinner for all the friends that made her last year memorable. She made the most amazing menu carefully considering everyone's varied food needs. THIS soup is a forever keeper from that night.

Ready for a tasty fall treat?
