Pavlovas with Lemon Curd & Citrus
The past few weeks, my creativity, something I’d never given much thought to, demanded attention. Truthfully, it didn’t demand attention so much as seemingly vanish from existence: why couldn’t I think of a single thing to bake?

Greens with Grapefruit, Olives and Parmesan
Happy 2018, everyone! I know I’m a little late with that sentiment, but things have been busy around here; baking projects have been relegated to the backseat for a moment. However, I thought I’d share this salad with you, mostly so you don’t think my diet consists only of baked goods, but also because it’s […]
