Come through grab a plate take some ticks with your fly selves! Yeehaw!

Absolutely nothing like the trifecta of chocolate strawberry and vanilla Neapolitain ice cream ~ but I usually swap vanilla for coconut!

Here’s the thing, if I love you, I’m going to fight for you.
Since being blessed with occupancy of this space, my neighbors have become my friends. My family. And there’s no way I’m going to let them sink. Shoot, I’m fighting for my life here too, but dammit I’m gonna go in swinging with them!

So this is my call to action! Love without action is dead - so post, share, plaster, scream, donate! They deserve to be loved the way that they loved, and deserve to be poured into( no pun intended or intended?) the same way that they pour. Let’s gooo! https://gofund.me/93426cd8

Sometimes I make really fancy things…

The theme of this and challenge was Local abundance
indeed!
Black Diamond cake:
Named for all the beautiful biking, hiking and skiing trails here in the gorgeous and abundant PNW!
comprised of A sponge cake baked with blackberry purée and black tea (a local Tea purveyor)
I used Marion/blackberry purée by another amazing local purveyor
The flour is produced by for local flour, local free range Eggs are from
And then I used and butter in the batter!
Reduced the black tea with foraged lavender into a syrup then made a sauce with brown sugar, butter, and condensed milk For the luscious caramel-y topping,
White chocolate mousse in the center and adorned with candied lemon peel and chantilly cream

Iiiit’s back! Labouyi Banan, one of my favorite Haitian dishes turned cheesecake!

What is it, you ask? Well, it’s a simple yet nourishing plantain porridge- blended green plantains cooked till it thickens with coconut milk, star anise and cinnamon, butter and vanilla usually served up warm for breakfast!
But of course in my culinary exploration I wondered if it would cheesecake, and it did… beautifully✨🍰✨

When I dumped prickly pear puree into the batter it was a bright pink ~ through and through~ but when this thang came out the oven it looked like a sunset in the desert for real!
Official Summer menu drops on Thursday
so you’ll see consistent flavors throughout the season one of which will be this Desert Pear! 🏜️🏜️🏜️
