I’m in my happy spot! Summer’s bounty is at it’s peak – fresh tomatoes, green beans, peaches, berries and… CORN!

It’s 8 o’clock in the morning and I’m having this for breakfast. Chocolate Gelato. I didn’t wake up this morning and say “I’m having gelato for breakfast!”… I was planning on my regular yogurt and fruit with peanut butter toast. Before I made my breakfast, I decided to take photos of my latest recipe adventure […]
