Raspberry Rosewater Cupcakes

I’m not giving into the apple and pumpkin season recipes quite yet, because… this is happening:

That will mark the beginning of my fall. I hope I get to wear a warm, puffy jacket and boots and a hat. (Well, minus the hat. Curly hair + hat = disaster). Expect the apple recipes to come shortly after. Then the pumpkin ones. For now, I’m saying farewell to the last bit of raspberries. They come back into season right about now and stay in season until about tomorrow. Enough time for a quick goodbye-summer, hello-fall treat.

Blueberry Tart with Walnut Crust

The BBF’s mom and sister invited me to pick blueberries recently. Big, sweet blueberries in the summertime are one of my favorite snacks, but I couldn’t eat them fast enough. There was enough to fill at least half a large coffee can! So naturally, I turned them into a dessert.

This dessert is slightly different than others I’ve made. It was already edited to be light, as it came from Eating Well magazine. Sshhhh — don’t tell the BBF!

Peach Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

Summer Peach Week(s) of 2014 is finally coming to a close.

I spent the weekend at my parent’s house. On Saturday, Dad decided we should strip the peach trees. We threw away an ungodly amount of rotten peaches, but managed to salvage enough to cover our kitchen table. On Sunday, the three of us spent the day in the kitchen — Mom cutting and coring peaches, Dad making Peach Margaritas (YUM!), and me, baking!

Grilled Vanilla Bean Mascarpone Peaches with Salted Bourbon Caramel

Summer Peach Week is turning into summer peach weekS. My parents live close by and have peach trees. Since the fruit ripens at different times, it’s been a constant influx of fresh, homegrown peaches for the past several weeks.

I’ve had many friends send me recipes and this one looked quick, easy and unique. Everyone is making peach cobblers and crisps, tarts and pies — this recipe really focuses on the whole peach while the toppings are (AWESOME, but) secondary to the grilled fruit flavor.

Serious Eats is hands-down my favorite foodie site. When I was in school at NYU, I discovered this great blog by Robyn Lee who was also an NYU student. This was like 8 years ago and she traipsed through the City eating, as you would guess, everything, and letting everyone live vicariously through her via The Girl Who Ate Everything. Eventually, she started working at Serious Eats, which led me to discover their awesomeness and that is how Serious Eats came to be my favorite foodie site. Thank you, Robyn.

All that is to say… at least 50% of my bookmarked recipes are Serious Eats recipes or recipes that Serious Eats has linked to. And this is one of them.
