Spring Vegetable Pasta

I shot these photos for Eat Boutique for this Spring Vegetable Pasta a couple of months back using handmade whole wheat pasta from Sfoglini Specialty Pasta in Brooklyn, NY.  We are quickly approaching summer, which means tomato season will be here soon and this dish is perfect; toss in whatever vegetables you have on hand.

Whiskey Ginger

I shot these photos of a Whiskey Ginger recipe with homemade ginger syrup about a month ago for an Irish themed post on Eat Boutique.  You can click on through to see the recipe and more of the photos.  I'm about ready to pour myself one (or three) of these to take the edge off of today's events.

They have been after the second suspect in the Marathon explosions for over 12 hours now and we've been on 'lockdown' here in Boston since early this morning. Eagerly awaiting Dean to get home from work but that won't be for another few hours.  Here's to hoping this will all end soon.

Vintage Recipes: Grapefruit Coconut Cake

Here is the second installment in the vintage recipe series I'm doing for Eat Boutique.  The first recipe was a blueberry buckle inspired by my grandmother's.  This recipe's inspiration came from the fact that we are in the middle of citrus season and I love the pairing of citrus and coconut. And also that I am obsessed with every shade and variation of light pink/grapefruit :)

The original recipe was made from a box mix with many 'fake' additions so I revamped it to make it all from scratch.  The result was a sweet and tart cake, a nice addition to a sunny winter afternoon when you are longing for spring days.  Click on over to Eat Boutique to see the recipe + post!

Vintage Recipes: Blueberry Buckle

I stumbled upon this Blueberry Buckle recipe when I was flipping through a vintage cookbook from my grandma.  I updated the recipe a little and making it brought back some childhood recipes.  Click on over to Eat Boutique to see the whole post and the recipe.
