Julia’s Mushroom Quiche – Quiche aux Champignons {#SundaySupper}
Almost exactly 4 years ago today on October 14th, 2012 I started cooking my way through Julia Child’s classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking , I began in my favorite category brunch. Cooking every quiche recipe in the massive cookbook and created my first Mushroom Quiche blog post – which is amazingly to this day one of my top articles on the blog. I say amazingly because over the last 4 years blogging I have learned an incredible amount about recipe creation, photography, and writing – among many other things but that’s for another day – and my journey from the 2012 Quiche aux Champignons article to current day has been one…

Peach Burrata Pizza {#SundaySupper}
Say it isn’t so… summer can’t be coming to a close already. Can it? My garden is full of basil and the markets are full of peaches and other summer produce waiting to be discovered. I had to find a way to bring my late summer favorites together in one recipe – enter my Peach Burrata Pizza Recipe. With or without prosciutto the flavor combination of sweet late summer peaches, creamy cool burrata, fresh basil and pepper arugula are perfect for serving with chilled white wine out on the patio with friends or as a mid-week dinner date with your husband. It’s not my first time combining peaches and burrata…

Watermelon Blueberry Agua Fresca
ok… it’s official I am obsessed. Both with Blueberries AND Agua Fresca. My fridge is filled with them both and I LOVE it. Who knew Agua Fresca would be come my new favorite drink – perfect for a morning pick me up and as an refreshing spiked Agua Fresca cocktail on the weekends. Pure brilliance. Although the traditional Agua Fresca recipes are a simple combination of fruit, sugar and ice I have found that making a batch of herb infused simple syrup adds a tasty twist to the classic and allows the sweetness of the syrup to fully dissolve in the mixture. Plus you get the added kick of the…

Spiked Watermelon + Basil Agua Fresca Cocktail
I have to admit, the first time I heard about a spiked Agua Fresca was watching Shahs of Sunset on BRAVO, yes I am one of those. Reza had just arrived at MJ’s house and she greeted him with an Agua Fresca spiked with Tequilla. If you are a fan you can image it was most likely heavy spiked however, it looked refreshing, super pretty and sounded exactly like something I would love to offer my guests this summer when they stopped by {Reza if you are reading this, you are always welcome to knock on my door… just saying}. Traditionally Agua Fresca is a non-alcoholic drink served by street…
