There are so many fancy breakfast toast recipes, but none quite like this whipped feta toast with honey! You can let your imagination run wild! With it’s smooth texture and salty/briny taste, this spread makes an amazing base layer for our sweet summer fruit and herb topping. The combination of the full bodied flavor of the Greek feta, tempered with rich Greek yogurt, sweetened with honeyed berries and earthy beets…. well, excuse the pun… can’t be beat! This delightful summer mixture of fresh cherries, strawberries, and roasted beets can not only be used with tangy feta, but also as an avocado toast topping as well! The options are endless!
Apple Chai Sourdough Scones
After a brief summer hiatus, I’m jumping back into sourdough treats! You may remember that I created my own sourdough starter, affectionately named, “Paul Riser”, this past winter. I’ve posted recipes in the past for sourdough jam cinnamon rolls, and…
Dried Fruit & Nut Sourdough Bread
Sometimes you hit on a recipe that strikes just the right chords. Over the last few months of my sourdough starter/bread endeavor, I’ve read countless baking blogs, and bought my fair share of bread cookbooks to help in my ‘education’….
Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with Jam
What is your first memory of eating a cinnamon roll? Was it in your grandmother’s kitchen, still warm from the oven? Was it a convenience store version – a bit tough and sticky, but satisfying to those cinnamon sugar urges?…
Wildberry Jam with Crème de Cassis

I am, by nature, a planner. A visit to my kitchen would prove the point: a fully inked-in white board calendar, a bulletin board pinned with every school/activity/holiday schedule, and several post-it notes scattered around the inside doors of…
Green Pear Smoothie
There seems to be a basic formula to the ever popular “New Year guilt-induced-clean-eating-post-holiday stretch” green smoothie. Veggies…protein…ice…. maybe some fruit if I spend some extra time at the gym… The problem is that it can get boring and, dare…

Famous Blueberry Muffins
There are several beloved New England foods that any native can name (beyond the iconic Clam Chowder, Sam Adams beer, and Boston Brown Bread). Creamy Frappes, a delicious Raspberry Lime Rickey, Jimmies (not Sprinkles! Jimmies are chocolate and Sprinkles are…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie
I try to hit the gym four to five times a week. Although I enjoy it most (OK…some) of the time, there are days where I have to convince myself that attending a killer Insanity class, or shaking what my…
