This pesto. Wow. I’ve made a bunch of pestos over the years, but there was something about this one that just wow-d me. Also I might be a little biased because all the basil came from my garden that I have been carefully tending to over the summer. I am completely obsessed with the ricotta…

In college, my sorority threw a “Favorite Holiday” party. Since dressing up as a Groundhog might have been weird slash difficult. I settled on my second favorite holiday- Cinco de Mayo. Yes I know Cinco de Mayo isn’t necessarily a real holiday, but that is what I love about it. I think my love of…
Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
