And the winner is....Perfect Peach Panna Cotta via Andrea Campbell
Last month, we ran a peach dessert recipe to honor our favorite summer fruit! We had tons of amazingly delicious recipe submissions but when it came to the ultimate recipe and beautifully presented and photographed dessert, we unanimously voted this "perfect peach panna cotta."
According to Andrea...
"I created this recipe after going to an Italian restaurant with my dad and trying their Panna Cotta. I fell in love with the luscious texture of the dessert, but I wanted it to have more layers to it. I usually make this with either or guava or mango (because of my Jamaican roots), but after seeing this recipe contest, I knew peaches would make the perfect substitute and I was correct. I made a couple modifications (like using bourbon vanilla extract and lemon zest), and I just LOVE the way it turned out. My family loved it and I will definitely be making this dessert again in the near future."

Ah, that sticky and oh-so sweet, summer heat. We have a love-hate relationship with the steamy sunshine. Because while being hot and sweaty isn't ideal (unless you're working out, of course), the delightful recipes and parties that come with the season kinda make the higher temps worth it.

How is it that during the hottest months of the year, when one is supposed to wear the least amount of clothing, such delicious food like BBQ and fruit pies are so religiously celebrated? It's not exactly fair if you ask us.
But alas, the best fruit pies and all the delectable pulled pork, brisket, burgers, and brats shall be eaten. Because, summer.
One of our favorite (not-beach-body-approved) recipes has got to be for the trusty, never fails, fruit galette. Easier than pie...and without that second layer of crust (so a wee bit healthier, right?!), the fruit really has a chance to shine - both in the beautiful appearance of the finished product and of course, the bold, perfectly sweet, fruit flavors.
This Peach + Plum Galette combines two stone fruits that honestly, make us swoon. And if making the pie dough just seems like a harder task than what you want… Read More

We are so excited to share a recipe from the very awesome Los Angeles cooking school, Meal and a Spiel! It's perfect for Passover, breakfast the morning after, and leftovers following that! You simply will love this recipe that so beautifully embodies Spring!
***
Most savory kugels call for at least twice as many eggs as I use and twice as much matzah. However the notion of eating all that AFTER the Hillel sandwiches, AFTER the gefilte fish, AFTER the matzo ball soup is just too much. We are celebrating liberation from slavery- let’s not re-enslave ourselves with a matzah-rock of indigestion!
Light and refreshing, this matzo kugel rings the flavors of spring. A combination of onions, vegetables and herbs are used to accentuate the flavors that will embody Spring at your Passover table, far beyond the parsley on your seder plate. By all means, this makes a wonderful dish to eat throughout the week of Passover. It’s like a frittata with less eggs, so try it for breakfast… Read More
Hooray - St. Patrick's Day is on a Saturday this year! And while many of us will be celebrating the festive holiday with the kids by way of wearing green and obliging to some shamrock arts and crafts, some of us just may find the time to sneak in an Irish Coffee (or two).
And then of course, there's those of us with no little ones to attend to who can celebrate in real Irish style.
Whatever the case, one thing's for certain; this Irish Coffee with Spiked Whipped Cream is absolutely delicious...and maybe a little dangerous too.
