I was recently provided with an early-release copy of Tess Gerritsen's 3rd book in the Martini Club Series, The Shadow Friends.
Pork Tenderloin, rubbed in a flavorful Pumpkin-Spiced Black Tea and grilled to a perfect medium.

Do you have fond memories of Push Ups? You know, those frozen orange creamsicle treats you used to get from the ice cream man. They are wrapped up in cardboard and you push them up past the cardboard wrapper with a stick. They used to be one of my favorites and this fun, delicious cake brought back many fond food memories.

Tender crepes layered with homemade lemon curd cream and flavored with candied ginger pieces. This is a decadent, delicious spring dessert that would be perfect for Easter or Mother's Day gatherings.
Gnudi is a cousin of Gnocchi, made using ricotta cheese instead of potatoes. It is light, fluffy and delicious. It is similar to the filling you might find in ravioli but without the wrapper.
I was inspired to make this dish after reading Murder in Siena by T.A. Williams.......
It's October.... which means we are celebrating Merlot here with the Wine Pairing Weekend Gang. I was happy to receive wines from L'Ecole Winery and Chelsea Goldschmidt. I was not home to accept delivery as I was in Egypt so it was exciting to see what wines arrived while I was gone.
I opened the bottle of L'Ecole for our first dinner home on Wednesday evening. I will be opening and pairing the bottle of Chelsea Goldschmidt soon and will be sharing those notes with you during this celebratory month.

These pears, made in a slow cooker, make your house smell delicious and free you up for prepping and serving dinner without having to worry about dessert. When ready to serve place in a bowl and add a scoop of ice cream. Life doesn't get much easier or more delicious than that.
Perfect as an addition to your brunch buffet or as a light dessert, this delicious Fruit Salad is naturally sweet containing no processed sugar.
I was gifted a bottle of Jones von Drehle Cabernet Franc in celebration of Cab Franc Day that was founded by my friend Lori of Exploring the Wine Glass and Draceana Wines. I received no monetary compensation for this post and all opinions and writings are strictly my own.
When I am busy preparing for the holidays but need to make sure that I keep my energy up, I turn to smoothies for a quick, easy and nutritious breakfast that I can sip while working in the kitchen.
Sweet Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce and warm spices combine to create the perfect Harvest Flavor profile. I turned this bread into mini loaves that I can freeze and use all Holiday season long. They are perfect when entertaining or taking as a hostess gift when attending a gathering. They also are a lovely addition to the cookies on your dessert buffet.
It's time for Bread Bakers........
Creamy, smooth and flavorful this Pumpkin Ice Cream is the perfect fall treat. I was inspired to make this after reading the novel and watching the film Practical Magic.
