VIETNAMESE-COFFEE CUPCAKES
Musical pairing – The Sound Of Sunshine by Michael Franti & Spearhead I made these Vietnamese-Coffee Cupcakes about a year ago and I’ve had visions of them dancing in my head ever since . . . like crack-cocaine, these are completely addictive!!

SQUASH & PECORINO FRITTATA

MOVIE BITES – ‘EARL MURDERS ME BECAUSE I’M HAVING AN AFFAIR PIE’
Musical pairing – You’re Gonna Get It by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings “Waitress” is a beautiful movie. I can’t say enough good things about it. Without ruining it for you, I’ll just say it’s about a lost woman finding her way back to herself in the face of unforeseen circumstances. The […]
