Pineapple upside down cake… to quote my good friend Katie… “Swoon!”
Recipe love.
Recently I found the most wonderful food blogs and books, and to say the least, I’m hooked. Rhubarb, raspberry, millet and almond cupcakes. Gougères. Dark chocolate cake with buckwheat and millet. The mouth waters.

Cookbook in print:
Falling Cloudberries by Tessa Kiros - This cookbook seems so fantastic that I’m ordering it. I found this tomato basil pasta recipe from the book posted online today, stopped for groceries on the way home and just enjoyed what’s below with a big glass of red wine:
Buckwheat garden salad- delicious. My first experience with buckwheat & chayote, and turns out I love both. Thanks Healthy Foodie!

Clafoutis
Quite simply- cherries baked in pastry. Looks delightfully simple… I’m making one this week for our Memorial Day camping trip to Assateague Island this weekend!

OCMD
Heading out of DC in a few hours to Ocean City Maryland for my sister’s bachelorette weekend, and it’s sure to be a weekend of firsts. My first bachelorette party, first time back in OCMD since senior week (high school!), and my first beach trip on the Atlantic since last summer!
It’s gorgeous… can’t wait to be there-

Airbnb
I first found out about Airbnb while at Oktoberfest in Munich last year, because they were a major sponsor at the campsite where we stayed. It’s a great site that has become quite popular where individuals post apartments, rooms, etc. for short term rent. You can also post your own apartment for short term rent on the site to make extra cash.
Basically it is a great place to find unique, good quality, and affordable places to stay while traveling, all over the world.
Happy & safe travels…
