I was shooting for something halfway between a blueberry muffin and sweet cornbread. And, I think I’m getting close. This was closer to a sweet cornbread with blueberries added. Those blueberries are dried wild blueberries from Trader Joe’s. (Love them! They’re not really dry. They’re closer to a dehydrated blueberry […]

Inspired by a cocktail at STG Trattoria, we threw this together with one orange, one bottle of chinotto, and two ounces of Cynar. Super easy, super craveable. If you’re looking for something a little less bitter, substitute the Pellegrino (mildly) bitter orange soda for the chinotto. This makes […]

I love the crisp crunch of a fresh cherry. Sometimes, that bag of fresh cherries are a bit soft and ripe. That’s the perfect time to make a batch of jam. Cherry Amaretto Jam 2 lbs cherries, well-washed and pitted 1 cup dried sour cherries 3 […]
