Blueberry Clafoutis

Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

Look who made dessert! (hint: me) It’s summer. It has French vibes and it’s berry loaded. Basically health food! Don’t quote me on that. You won’t believe how easy this is to whip up and also how luxurious it is to inhale. Listen, the 4th of July is coming up and this will most certainly […]

Friday Flotsam

plants and pretty / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrar! Dar! Flar! Sar! I really don’t have much for you today. This week, on the contrary, has felt so nice. I’ve kept busy and steady in a rhythm that just works for me. Is my basement dry? Not after the rain we got. Is that okay? We’ll get there. It’s better, but not perfect. […]

Processed with VSCO with a4 preset

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRududu. This is going be a short one! Usually through the week as absurdities pop into my head I jot them down on paper to share with you all. And this week, every time a little rando thought crawled into my cerebrum I said to myself, “I’ll remember that.” Spoiler alert. I didn’t. I’ll tell […]

Summer Tomato Pie

Summer Tomato Pie

This recipe is what I LIVE FOR. Not to be hyperbolic about it. But also 100% to be hyperbolic about it. If you have yet to make or eat a summer tomato pie, well frankly I’ve led you astray. This is the proper and only way to summer. That is, if you love tomatoes and […]
