A couple weekends ago my family and I made a trip up to Moorpark to Underwood Family Farms. See, I’ve been dying to take A berry picking and I’d heard from several other families who’d been to Underwood that you could pick all kinds of things there. They have tomatoes, blackberries, strawberries, peaches, cucumbers, even… Continue reading Double-crust Blackberry Tart and a Trip to the Farm

Nana’s Bourbon Peach Flan
I’ve talked a lot about peaches this summer. That’s mainly because I’m such a fan. So since summer’s coming to a close I thought I’d get a few more peach recipes in before the kids head back to school and peaches disappear for another year. This is a recipe my mother’s been making since I… Continue reading Nana’s Bourbon Peach Flan
Plum Buckle
It’s finally stone fruit season. This is my favorite time of year because it’s when the best fruits are available. While I’m a big fan of apples and citrus, nothing compares to a fresh, juicy peach, apricot or plum. It’s true that eating one of these delectable fruits straight from your fruit bowl is perfect… Continue reading Plum Buckle
Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Since St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s posts to all things that are green and/or Irish. Today’s post is both. Well, it’s not exactly Irish per se, but it’s made with potatoes which a lot of people associate with Ireland thanks to the great Irish Potato Famine of the mid… Continue reading Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Sausage, Pear & Gruyere Pie
Spring and summer are considered big fruit seasons, but believe it or not there are still a few fruits available during these cold winter months. What is that fruit you ask? Why apples, pears and all different types of citrus, of course. While there are plenty of apple recipes out there (don’t worry, I will… Continue reading Sausage, Pear & Gruyere Pie
Minny’s Chocolate Pie
I have a confession to make. I hate to read. Okay let me clarify that, I hate to read books. Magazines, scripts, blog posts, all these I have no trouble with and actually quite enjoy. Don’t ask me why I’m repulsed by books, because I actually can’t tell you. Maybe it’s the thought of cracking… Continue reading Minny’s Chocolate Pie
Blueberry Bay Tart
As you all know I love me my spices. I’m making savory things sweeter by adding cinnamon to everything from baked goods to my morning coffee to meat and potatoes. (Believe it or not cinnamon’s a great addition to a meat or pork rub.) And I’m turning those sweet desserts into spicier morsels by adding… Continue reading Blueberry Bay Tart
Peanut Butter Chocolate Mud Pie
I’m a little late to this party, if you can call it that, and for that I’m deeply sorry. See I was taking time last week away with my husband. We’ve both been so busy with life, work, and all the stresses that go with it that we haven’t really been seeing much of each… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Mud Pie
Summer Bourbon Peach Hand Pies
A few weeks ago I made an impulse buy at the checkout of my grocery store. I picked up Better Homes and Gardens Sunday Dinners magazine. The cover recipe looked really good and when I flipped through there were several more recipes that looked just as scrumptious. One was a recipe for Summer Peach Pie… Continue reading Summer Bourbon Peach Hand Pies
