Making Jam was initially daunting and confusing to me. Well, lets be serious- it was completely intimidating and even down right scary. All that boiling water? All that goopy stuff. What’s that stuff called? Pectin?
Coconut Sorbet Coconut is one of my all time favorite flavors. Always has been, always will be. On our vacation (I know, I am still living in the past!) I ate big bowls of icy coconut sorbet every night. And sometimes in the afternoon. When I recently created a Fourth of July menu for Fitness…
This is my favorite fruit crisp recipe packaged in an adorable (and delicious!) new way. I am in the throws of preparing for Fathers Day Dinner, The Fourth of July and non-stop outdoor dining with the gorgeous weather we are having.

Of all the Christmas cookies we bake each year, Angel thumbprints are probably my favorites- the buttery cookie, and the sweet baked jam are heaven.
