goat cheese roasted cherries



Made homemade ice cream for the first time the other day! I kept putting if off for such a long time because I thought it would require a lot of work, but it didn't. It was simple! Now I can't go back to store bought ice cream...unless it's gelato.

I got the recipe for goat cheese with roasted red cherries from Jeni's Ice Cream. There's lots of recipes in her cookbook I want to try. Can't wait to share them with you. 



there's always room for pie

We were craving pie so we stopped by Bang Bang Pie Shop {Logan Square, Chicago}. So glad we did because blueberries are our favorite fruit. Also, the summer squash pie is delicious!

I L-O-V-E peaches. They taste great in salads. All you need are fresh peaches and spinach. Just drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt+pepper.

What I like about summer is the fresh fruits from the farmers market. I love making desserts with them. You will be seeing more fruit desserts on the blog soon.
