Fresh Peach Tart

Peach Tart served on a Wild Bower Studio Handmade Speckled Ceramic Oval Serving Platter

What an insane summer! Typically our April is super rainy but the summer has really soaked us. So our normal exploration on the weekends have been washed out quite regularly, which means that we haven’t been “picking our own" in quite a while! Well, ask/wish and you shall receive. We happened to be at the right place at the right time to receive a beautiful bag full of freshly picked peaches just waiting to be transformed into something sweet and delicious though I could have probably eaten each peach on their own.

We did a poll on our Instagram page to see what folks thought we should make. One of the big winners was the peach tart. Simple and sunny we found our Peach Tart recipe from Food52. I didn’t follow their crust recipe because I had plans to make pies and quiches so I just made extra pie crust but I did follow the rest.

Morning Coffee & a Rustic Cherry Tart for Breakfast

When we moved out to the Catskill Mountains, we dreamt of quiet moments in nature feasting on delicious treats like this Rustic Cherry Tart served on one of our White Swirl Speckled Serving Platters. They are match made in heaven.

The spring and summer out here produce some of the most amazing fruits and this week we dove into cherries. Have you ever had a fresh cherry?!? For me, it’s like a dream that transports me back to childhood. There is nothing like a perfect cherry, so we set out to bake something that elevated the sweet and delicious fruit.

My mom recently came out to spend the weekend with us and boy, was it fun to show her around and get some time to cook together. My mom has always been a wonderful cook and baker. Normally, we’re baking Christmas cookies but it’s not quite the season for that so we opted for fresh Cherries that we picked up from local Farm, Barthel’s in Ellenville, NY.

We sipped our morning coffee out of our handmade Flare Mugs and ate the tart for breakfast. It was such bliss!

Once you’re out of coffee, use our ceramic Coffeepot to display all of your happy flowers (I’ve been watching a lot of Boss Ross). This flower arrangement came from local Florist, Little Pebble Flower Farm.

Fall Season Meals: Pears & Ricotta

Let’s face it, sometimes I get incredibly bored with breakfast and more honestly, with cleaning dishes in the morning. So, when I found this pear and ricotta toast I couldn’t help but see the potential in flavor and the possibility of returning some much needed time to my sleep schedule. Super flavorful and satisfying, check out the recipe at bonappetit

Fall Season Meals: Breakfast Granola

Homemade granola has been a happy medium - you can add chocolate chips, dried fruit or mixed nuts. The best part is I can control how much sugar is being added to avoid my most hated sugar hangovers.

This recipe is so easy and requires barely ay prep so if I have convinced you into trying out your own homemade granola check out the recipe I found at cookie and kate.

I’m a snacker. I love to snack and I really cannot help myself. Once I start to crave I don’t stop until I eat something. In the past I would munch on donuts and other really unhealthy items full of processed sugars (and yes, I still have some nights like this) but recently I’ve been trying very hard to cut out items that are overly processed and full of preservatives.
