Lemon Buttercup Cake! These are delightful and delicious! We are all knee-deep in summer here and in summer we embrace the LEMONS!

A post on salads? Of course a post on salads!

I have been asked time and time again for ideas on salad dressings, salad mixings, and salad base. 

One post to answer the call. 

Making crackers was the objective and the outcome was crumbles.

Who shares a recipe for a crumble? Well me of course! IT WAS THAT DELICIOUS!

What is Juneteenth? My son asked.

“How are we going to celebrate?”

“We are making all things red, red red,” I said.

If a cocktail contains any opaque or cloudy ingredients, such as fruit juices, egg, or cream it should be shaken vigorously.

If a cocktail consists entirely of transparent ingredients spirits, vermouth, sweeteners, bitters, then it should be stirred.

Here it comes the Butter Beer Smashup. Completely a concoction of pure perfection! The butterscotch melts so easily into the creamy vanilla soda and the rum (extract) cuts the sweetness to on a molecular level achieving the perfect sip.

Have you ever had bananas staring at you? You know, there will be 2-3 left and they kinda just stare you down. You walk by them and they taunt you. I don’t blame them as they are a bit old and weary and absolutely perfect for banana bread. hah!

This sugar cookie recipe is a hit!! I will be using this over and over again for a sugar cookie base. Bad Batch you have nothing on Delish In A Pinch. Armed and ready to take on this Star Wars bunch.

Ricotta and pasta are beautiful mix. Ricotta is the special secret in making the cavatelli tender. Just savory and warm especially for a rainy spring day. This is a fun pasta to make with the kiddos. A fun and cathartic process. In saying that make sure you give yourself the time to do it.

Elevate this pizza dough by adding an infused olive oil. For instance orange, tuscan herb and truffle. A nice hint of flavor in every bite.

Maybe, if I had a DeLorean I could go back and time and well…not eavesdrop on my son?!

What does credibility mean to you? Does one lose it when they step out of the workforce? When do they regain it? How? A look into my journey…Let’s reflect as we eat some M&M cookies 🤪

This garlic bread took me by surprise. In fact so much so that I made it my logo! Look at the Delish In A Pinch logo, it is this bread in the background.
