Butternut Squash Galette

Dec 10, 2012 | By Melissa

As Fall officially winds down, it’s time to use up the last of our beautiful orange squashes. And boy, is this galette a delicious doozy! Seriously, I wish butternut squash were in season all year long so I could make this more often…although the anticipation is pretty sweet, too. Just close your eyes and imagine […]

German Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Nov 18, 2012 | By Melissa

Jul 03, 2011 | By Melissa

Macarons. Beautiful fresh veg from the local market. Pain au chocolat. Comté and dijon on a baguette. Crème au chocolat with an espresso. Wine at lunch. Crème brulée. Hot chèvre. Croissants. Good grief. Food in France is an art…and I gained 5 pounds during the week my husband and I spent there, because everything was […]

Zucchini Ricotta Galette

May 02, 2011 | By Melissa

I have mentioned previously that I am obsessed with several other food blogs, one of which is SmittenKitchen. About six months ago, when I was trolling through Deb’s archives, I discovered a delectable vegetarian entree called a galette, which could also go by the name of crostata or even “rustic tart.” I was, in a […]
