I love citrus season! It’s that great time of year, smack dab in the dead of winter, when all the bright, sweet citrus bombard farmers markets everywhere. It’s when you are no longer limited to Eureka lemons or Navel oranges. Instead you can grab some Meyer lemons or Cara Cara oranges. There are also Satsuma… Continue reading Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake

Super Bowl Hasselback Potatoes
I’ve never been a big potato person. Didn’t matter if they were mashed or roasted, baked or fried, I just never liked the taste or the texture.

While I enjoy the classic which is just lime juice and mint, I love it when there’s extra fruit muddled in. I’ve made… Continue reading Bramble on the Bay
Rosemary Polenta
I absolutely love polenta. It’s just so yummy! It’s good as a cake or as a thick and creamy side dish. But up until recently I’d only had it in restaurants. Whenever a restaurant had polenta listed as a side dish, I ordered it. That’s how much I like it. Even if my entree came… Continue reading Rosemary Polenta

As some of you may recall, I participated in the Eatmyblog 2.0 in June where we raised over $5400.
